If I may follow on that point, I can remind members that Liberal amendment 0.1 expressly provided that nothing in the Conflict of Interest Act derogated from or limited in any way the privileges of any members.
I would say that there seems to be an inconsistency, insofar as Mr. Stringham has said that the effect of this amendment--if I understand it correctly--would be to say that under the House code or the Senate code, the privileges of members who are ministers are to be limited by those two committees, while we have expressly said in respect of the Conflict of Interest Act that they are not to be limited. I think there is an inconsistency there.
