Mr. Speaker, I rise to present petition e-6489 on the democratic process, signed by 11,706 petitioners.
The petition calls on the House to adopt and direct appropriate national security and intelligence agencies to conduct a comprehensive review of potential security risks associated with political leadership in Canada, ensuring that all candidates for party leadership and high office undergo security vetting; develop and implement mechanisms to enhance transparency in the vetting process of political candidates, increasing public confidence while maintaining legal and privacy protections; strengthen national safeguards against foreign interference in Canadian democratic institutions; and commit to ensuring that all elected officials meet the highest standards of integrity, accountability and national loyalty.
I am proud to present this petition on behalf of the undersigned.
