Dear Editor,

Although now retired, I once worked for National Defence in Quebec and Ontario as a contractor, managing a supply section for 10 years. During this time, everyone including myself, military members and reserve members, had to have Secret or Level 11 Security Clearance, and it was reviewed regularly.

How can Pierre Poilievre be running for Prime Minister of Canada and not be required to have a Secret Security Clearance?

How will secret documents, meetings and missions be handled?

He should be proud and willing to obtain it now or be forced to withdraw from the election.

There is sand in the soup!
