All right.
I will assume that you've made a point of order with the question of whether or not we're following the proper procedure given what's happened in the House.
I thought of the same thing. I took the opportunity to have what was, I would suggest, an informal consultation with the law clerk and with the Speaker, and I asked the question. There was a ministerial statement in the House by the government House leader. There were responses from the other House leaders of the other three parties. There was nothing else.
Ministerial statements do not request the Speaker to make a ruling. They are simply there as information about, in this case, what is taken as the policy of the government in that it hasn't been voted on in the House.
In fact, there is no motion or no obligation that we could find that actually would trigger a decision in the House. I was advised that the only thing they could see that would trigger something in the House would be an incident in a committee where a political staffer was called, a minister appeared in their stead, and the committee reported back to the House. Then the House would be seized with the question that you ask.
So in fact the House won't do anything until there is a committee report from some committee.
Okay?
Now--
