It's hypocritical though. Polievre said he'd throw anyone who colluded with foreign agents out of the Conservative party. If he fixes it it so he never knows, his promise means nothing. Remember that Modi and his Indian agents pumped money into the Conservative Party during Poilievre's leadership campaign. If I were an honest leader, I'd want to know which Conservative party members took money from Indian agents so he could throw them out. For all we know, Poilievre himself may have taken money from Indian agents. If he doesn't take this information, it's a sign that he just wants to be able to deny knowing which of his party members are on the take and wants to keep the illegal money.

Pierre is the BEST.

[@garyhaggquist740]

Nah, multi-millionaire Pierre is the worst by far. As minister of "Democratic Reform" he used classic Republican style voter suppression that resulted in 172,000 CDNs not voting in the 2015 election. That alone is disqualifying. Anyone who disenfranchised CDNs out of their most fundamental right in a democracy - is totally unfit to lead!

I have learned the error of my ways. And though i'm honestly a little weary of PP, I am. Utterly disgusted by the actions of this government. I can't imagine ever being enticed to vote liberal/ndp again. And I don't know where you get the idea that he doesn't have clearance. If he didn't have clearance he wouldn't have to refuse to read it.
