That will bring to a close our question period today.
I have a question of privilege and three points of order that I will deal with. I will deal with the question of privilege first.
Yesterday the member for Sydney—Victoria raised a question of privilege. Now I am faced with this dilemma. Although at the time the question of privilege was raised the minister was not here, I see now that the hon. member, for whatever reason, is not in the House. I will hold the matter in abeyance until the hon. minister can make the statement directly when the other member is here.
I ask the hon. minister if we could do this tomorrow when the hon. member is here. I did not want the hon. member to raise the point unless the minister was here. In fairness, the minister should not make a response until the hon. member is here.
I will hear the first point of order from the hon. Minister of Human Resources Development.
