He should be a little more specific. Why is he unable to tell us that all the necessary security checks were done regarding the former girlfriend of the <a data-HoCid=\"111553\" href=\"/politicians/maxime-bernier/\" title=\"Maxime Bernier\">Minister of Foreign Affairs</a> and that at no time was national security ever threatened? It is a simple question.</p>",
