Mr. Speaker, on September 10, 2019, CSIS received a ministerial directive to inform the minister of public safety of any disturbing fact concerning foreign interference.
I will ask the Minister of Public Safety a simple question: When did he learn that a Beijing diplomat was threatening a member of the House?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals teamed up with the B.C. NDP on drug decriminalization policies.
Now parents are more afraid than ever to take their kids to playgrounds and parks due to open drug use. Law enforcement are now handcuffed and can only stand by and watch. Because of these new drug policies, the Kelowna mayor says that police cannot stop drug users from getting high and leaving syringes in children's playgrounds.
Our Prime Minister is out of touch and our streets are out of control. When are the Liberals going to take public safety seriously?

Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable that the Liberals think it is acceptable for open drug use where children play.
The answer from the minister is completely out of touch with reality, and the reality is that the drug policies of the Liberal-NDP coalition are making our streets and parks less safe for families. Now municipalities across British Columbia, from Kelowna to Campbell River, are having to take action through bylaws and provincial advocacy, just to keep their communities safe.
Again I will ask, when will the Liberals take public safety seriously?

Mr. Speaker, we are committed to ending the toxic drug and overdose crisis.
In moving forward on decriminalization, there is adequate supervision by the B.C. government and the B.C. Centre on Substance Use on both public safety and public health, with proper indicators. We are monitoring this very closely, but we have to stop this toxic drug overdose tragedy. We will do that.

Mr. Speaker, last week, the Minister of Public Safety—yes, him again— told a parliamentary committee that the illegal Chinese police stations in Montreal and Brossard had been shut down.
The problem with what the minister said is that it is not true. Those police stations are still operating. The heads of the two Chinese police stations say that they did not receive any closure requests from the RCMP and that they are continuing to operate normally.
The Liberals are obviously not taking the matter of Chinese interference seriously. This is a serious problem, a very serious problem.
Can the Prime Minister tell us the truth and confirm that the Minister of Public Safety misled the House?
