Mr. Speaker, the meeting that took place was between public servants in a government building. It was not with the Prime Minister. However, I could understand that the Leader of the Opposition, as usual, is looking to swing a wide stick and does not seem to care what he hits. There is a constant array of attacks and mis-characterization of information. His interest again and again is to disrupt and be partisan rather than provide productive solutions to the issues that face this country right now.

Mr. Speaker, clearly, the member opposite desperately wants to create a link between the Trudeau Foundation and the Prime Minister. There is no link. There has been no direct or indirect link between the foundation and the Prime Minister for over 10 years. That is clear. Unfortunately, the leader of the official opposition cares more about playing partisan games and sowing division than he does about the facts.

Mr. Speaker, I will share with the member that I am quite familiar with the process, having successfully passed with my colleagues Keira's law, Bill C-233, and understanding the immense value of unanimous consent and when members work across party lines because issues are so important. I do not think any of this is partisan. I think this issue affects many families, including my own, and many constituents in my riding of York Centre. As a matter of fact, the member for Thornhill would attest to that as well, as we share similar constituency demographics in that sense. She is a member on his benches, and I would encourage him to perhaps speak to her about the many families in similar situations. There is always an opportunity to work collaboratively, and I certainly hope the member will consider it.
