Mr. René Villemure (Trois-Rivières, BQ)

Mr. Speaker, since we found out that there was Chinese interference in the election process, the government has been acting as though it is in charge of elections. It is acting as though Parliament does not have a say and democracy falls under the exclusive authority of the Prime Minister. It is pretty crazy that the majority of parliamentarians elected by the majority of the population have less clout than an unelected rapporteur, a friend of the Prime Minister who was appointed by the Prime Minister and reports to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister finally launch an independent public commission of inquiry, as the majority of elected members of the House are asking him to do?
