Madam Speaker, the Liberals promised that the Hogue commission would have access to all the information on foreign interference. In her report, however, Justice Hogue criticizes the Liberals for withholding information. The Prime Minister's Office sends her redacted documents. It even hides entire documents. Worse yet, yesterday, the Prime Minister told Justice Hogue that he has already provided enough information. I am sorry, but that is not for him to decide. It is up to the judge to decide when she has enough information. Will the Prime Minister stop sabotaging the foreign interference commission?

Madam Speaker, the Liberals promised Justice Hogue access to all the information. The Prime Minister needs to keep his promise. Let us not forget that the Hogue commission was created because the Liberals were refusing to shed light on Chinese interference. Let us not forget that the Prime Minister even tried to set up a phony investigation by appointing his own investigator, an old family friend. He was unable to cover it up then, and he will not get away with it now either. Will he get out of Justice Hogue's way and give her what she needs to do her job?

Madam Speaker, Madam Justice Hogue is a distinguished jurist in this country. The independent commission has broad access to classified and unclassified documents, as agreed to by all parties in this place. The only exceptions relate to access to solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidence. These exceptions will be applied by the professional and impartial public service. We want the truth, and we will always do everything in our power to get the truth.
