Mr. Speaker, as you well know, it is completely unacceptable for a foreign government, especially the government of China or others, to interfere in the lives and concerns of Canadians, whether in relation to our citizens, our democracy, our educational establishments or our government institutions. We will continue to ensure that protecting Canadians is a priority. The RCMP is currently following up on all of these police stations.

Mr. Speaker, he just needs to come out with the facts, but as someone once said, he would not know what to do with the facts. The Prime Minister is protecting someone or something. Who? What? What skeletons are hiding in the Trudeau Foundation's closet? Just how low will he go to protect his secrets? What is China doing and to whom? How has China managed to intimidate the entire Liberal government?

Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Bloc Québécois wants to know who I am protecting. First and foremost, I am protecting Canadians by fighting Chinese interference. I am protecting Chinese Canadians who are more often the target of Chinese interference. I am protecting our institutions and our democracy by creating mechanisms to fight Chinese interference. I am continuing to protect the men and women who put their lives at risk to find out and expose the secrets of China and other countries that want to do us harm by keeping their secrets and protecting our national security.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question and his concern, which is one we all share. Unfortunately, over the past few years, we have seen a rise in polarization, in toxicity, and in hatred toward Canadians and parliamentarians. We need to do whatever it takes to keep those who serve our democracy safe because protecting them means protecting the very foundation of our democracy. We are looking at tangible measures to increase the safety of our ministers, and we also are working with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure the safety of all parliamentarians.
