Replying to Kelly McCauley (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, here we have on display peak Liberal hypocrisy. Only the member for Winnipeg North can spend his entire speech complaining about wasting time instead of actually doing something besides wasting time and addressing Bill C‑25. There were issues around foreign interference that the Liberals knew about in one of their ridings, where Han Dong was chosen as a Liberal candidate. It was noted in the Hogue commission. Why is there nothing in Bill C‑25 that would address the foreign interference in so many Liberal nominations?”
