Without being cheerleaders for the ruling party, I would hope.
Could I ask one last specific question? You said that MPs are not covered by the policy regarding ceremonial cheques. Ministers are, or their designates are, but an MP doing the exact same task can put a Conservative Party of Canada logo on his or her cheque and not worry about the wordmark or anything else, if they're not acting as a designated ministerial spokesperson.
When Gerald Keddy is handing a cheque over on behalf of the Government of Canada, surely he is performing the function that the minister would have performed, were the minister available. In that case, he is the designated spokesperson for the government, is he not?
