The Minister of National Defence needs to consult with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, under part 3 of Bill C-59, and will now be junior in that role if the act does come to pass, and will need the advice of the Minister of Foreign Affairs to make decisions. I'm asking right now, given that link, whether he has been advised by the Minister of Foreign Affairs per se. Has he had any conversations with any of his ministerial colleagues? Has he had any conversations with any of his colleagues who are members of the legislative body and not members of the executive with regard to who should or shouldn't appear before a standing committee of the House of Commons?
