Mr. Speaker, I have not had an opportunity to see a copy of this document and because I had not been warned ahead of time unfortunately it is not possible for me to have the Minister of Health comment on it. I am sorry about that and I am sure that once the document in question is made available to the Minister of Health he will want to respond.
If there is a document of a department which somehow is seen as supporting a task force of members of parliament of a particular political party, that is a political question which could be the subject of something asked at question period. In other words, the opposition member could be, if that is true, entitled to ask did the minister do something correct or incorrect and so on. That is a political question, not necessarily an issue of privilege. That is a different story all together.
That being said, neither I nor the minister in question, because I am sure he would have told me, was made aware that this question was to be raised today. I am sure the minister will want to respond to this at some point.
