Mr. Speaker, today, the Prime Minister said that he would launch a national public inquiry on foreign interference if necessary. Who will decide if it is necessary? The decision will be made by a former director of the Trudeau Foundation, which received an illegal donation from the regime in Beijing. I can already guess what the special rapporteur's response will be and how much credibility he has. Yesterday, we gave every member of the House an unique opportunity to vote in favour of a independent national inquiry on foreign interference. All members of the House, except the government members, voted in favour of that motion. Why does the government show so little respect for MPs?

Mr. Speaker, the government is saying that it is taking action. Taking action gets results, but to date, the government's score on foreign interference is 25%. That would not be a very good mark to get on a report card. Why? The Liberals finally expelled a diplomat after two years, but they have done nothing to create a foreign agent registry, to conduct a independent national inquiry or to shut down the Chinese police stations. Every time we ask them questions, they fail miserably at protecting Canadians. Our question to them is, why?
