Mr. Speaker, I have pages from a document from the Privy Council Office called "Guidance for Ministers", marked confidential.
I will read the Prime Minister a quote from pages 23 and 24 of that document:
Parliament has gone to special lengths to protect the independent mandate and powers of certain other agencies such as granting bodies or tribunals. You are advised to take very special care to avoid intervening, or appearing to intervene in cases under consideration by quasi-judicial bodies.
In light of this, will the Prime Minister do the only honourable thing that is available and ask the heritage minister to resign?
