Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition knows very well that no government, including the former government, of which he was a member, is going to discuss particularities of intelligence information publicly. He knows better than that. However, the good news is that, if the Leader of the Opposition wanted to get the appropriate security clearance, he would be able to see the confidential report of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians. He would then be much more informed than he is now. We would invite him to do so, so that he would not stand up and cast aspersions on the floor of the House of Commons without any information whatsoever.

Mr. Speaker, the allegation that there are MPs knowingly working for foreign governments to undermine our democracy is deeply serious. That is why I have requested a classified briefing to get more information. The Prime Minister has known about this since March and has done nothing, and the Conservative leader does not even want to know what is going on and refused this information. Why are these two leaders looking away from foreign interference when it serves them?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has known since March and has done nothing. The allegations of MPs receiving help from a foreign government are troubling. The Prime Minister has had this information since March 22 and has done nothing about it, while the Conservative leader does not want to know anything about it. Why are these two leaders content to turn a blind eye to this when they think that foreign interference improves their chances of winning?
