Mr. Speaker, the allegations of foreign interference are disturbing and serious. That is why, at committee, we asked for a public inquiry. We asked for a process that is independent and public. Why is the Prime Minister ignoring these two criteria?

Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister really wanted to restore the confidence of Canadians, he would call a public inquiry. Here is the situation. We have a Conservative Party that only cares about playing political games with something so serious as our democracy. New Democrats understand that this is serious and it is not an opportunity to play political games. That is why we demanded a public inquiry at committee. There are two criteria we have: The process has to be independent and it has to be public. Will the government confirm that its process will answer questions about what the Prime Minister knew, when he knew it and what he did about it?
