Mr. Speaker, my colleague brought up the fundamental debate. We are looking at intimidation campaigns against members of Parliament, and one of my Conservative colleagues said that it is like Canada is holding up a sign. The Prime Minister said years ago that he admires the basic dictatorship of China because that allows it to get things done. Then there was the cash-for-access fundraisers, where thousands of dollars went to the Liberal Party. There was the $140,000, and I could go through the list of police stations. It seems the government is not taking this seriously. There is a fundamental choice we have over the next few days, and all of us have to come together and say that these things are unacceptable. Could the member elaborate on the importance of the government taking this seriously right now? It is not just about members of Parliament. Chinese Canadians and Canadians of other countries who come here are being intimidated by foreign governments. When do we actually say stop and that enough is enough?
