Well, it's just precisely because you used the term “breaking the law”. and then you quoted the Speaker's ruling, Madame Freeman, and so we'll have a look at the transcripts but you made this accusation about the law not being followed and you mentioned specifically.... So I began to say, with respect to Speaker Milliken's ruling, that in fact there have been negotiations in good faith that have recently been concluded, to which your party was one of the parties.
If you are also referring to ministerial responsibility, yes, ministers are accountable and answerable to Parliament, and the government House leader, Mr. Hill, has made that very clear. Again, ministerial responsibility is part of the parliamentary system that we have inherited and adapted in this country. On both counts, yes, there is ministerial responsibility.
And now that I have the opportunity, you mentioned the ruling of the Speaker, and again, I believe some people disagree with the conclusions we have come to with respect to the Speaker's ruling, which is their privilege, but we have entered into a document that we have tabled with Parliament, and I think it works very well. We're all part of the solutions, Madame Freeman, and we'll go forward from there.
