A bill to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats. During discussion, the Liberals claimed they are taking steps to protect Canadians and infrastructure, while the Conservatives criticized the government's handling of immigration, accusing them of letting in people with ties to a terrorist organization. The debate devolved into both sides talking past each other, with the Liberals defending their record and the Conservatives continuing to raise concerns about security.
