Madam Speaker, I want to talk about foreign interference. One leader says it is nothing serious. Another leader says it is very serious. Both want us to take their word for it, so we are no further ahead. On Monday, the Minister of Public Safety said he would not breach secrecy because RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn warned him he would face criminal prosecution. Does the government think that all elected officials who read the documents should face the same charges? Does the government deem that we are further ahead today with elected representatives playing with legal limits?

Madam Speaker, let me begin by thanking the Bloc Québécois. Yesterday, we passed a very important bill on foreign interference at third reading. This is one more measure in a long series of solutions and initiatives that our government has put in place to counter foreign interference. We know that every country in the world is facing this challenge. Canada stands out for the series of initiatives it has undertaken and the work it has done to strengthen its institutions in order to counter foreign interference.
