Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is encouraging an insidious culture of secrecy; China is too. David Johnston is making a game out of hiding secrets from Canadians and Quebeckers, like China would. The Liberals' entire strategy is now obvious: to divert attention from the close ties between Liberal power brokers and China, possibly even to protect the interests of investor friends in China by devising a strategy for accessing secret documents that keeps them secret. It is not up to David Johnston to determine what I can or cannot see. It is not about me. An independent judge will set the terms of reference of a public inquiry.

Mr. Speaker, Canada no longer has a government worthy of being called democratic. This Prime Minister refuses to clear up any doubts about his desire to protect secrets that we are only just starting to uncover. Let us ask the people of Xinjiang how China's dictatorship operates. Let us ask the people of Hong Kong how China operates. Let us ask the Tibetans how the Chinese Communist Party operates. Let us ask the bullied MPs how Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, operates. Should the Prime Minister not get his act together before going down in history as pandering to a hostile foreign power?
