Mr. Speaker, I hope the Conservatives will listen. On January 16, we banned research work in sensitive areas with approximately 100 entities around the world. We have worked with our allies to protect science, intellectual property and the work done by our universities. We will always be there to defend national security.

Mr. Speaker, what Canadians watching at home are seeing today is deplorable. National security should not be a partisan issue. We have no lessons to learn from the Conservatives when it comes to protecting national security in research and science in Canada. Our government has done more than any other to protect science, to protect intellectual property, to help our universities and our research centres by identifying security risks. In January, we published a list that tells research institutes not to do business with entities that might act to the detriment of the Government of Canada.
