Sure.
Thank you, Chair, and I appreciate the question because it's an interesting commentary. My initial comment actually referred to the party leadership in the sense of parliamentary secretary positions and cabinet positions, the exclusive purview of the party leader, the Prime Minister. That was where my initial comments were.
I'm happy to expand on that a little. First, I would say that allocation of those positions is the undeniable right of the Prime Minister, without question, to have an effective, functioning parliament.
I'm not sure where I put my Eugene Forsey book, regarding the confidence convention. There's no question that we cannot change collective and individual ministerial responsibility, from that standpoint.
But to discuss further the questions of committee membership and speaking times in the House of Commons, we have to remember that so much of this is done by convention. It's done by the usual channels. It's not written down in our Standing Orders that speaking times will be done by a roster.
I know, Ms. May, who has now left—actually, I shouldn't have said that, because you can't recognize that.
