Mr. Speaker, that is simply not true. I spoke with the member for Wellington—Halton Hills earlier today and ensured that he got a briefing from our top security officials to ensure that he gets all the information he needs. A core part of CSIS's mandate is to provide briefings and take action whenever a threat exists, and those same top security officials have confirmed that whenever there is action to take, they do so.

Mr. Speaker, in the meantime, CSIS is warning that Beijing sees Canada as a high-priority target for interference. Obviously, it is easy for China. China could get close to the Prime Minister through the Trudeau Foundation. China could get close to the Liberals at their own $1,500-a-head cocktail parties during their first term. Then, when China gets caught by CSIS doing things like threatening the family of an elected member, the Liberals keep it a secret. Do the Liberals realize that it is their fault that China is infiltrating our institutions with disturbing ease?

Mr. Speaker, as I already explained, this government is truly proactive when it comes to dealing with the challenge of foreign interference. That is why we gave more powers to CSIS. That is why we introduced Bill C‑76 to crack down on foreign contributions that could pose a threat to our institutions. We will continue to do this important work to protect communities, institutions and, more importantly, all Canadians.
