Madam Speaker, I would have liked to pose a question to the previous speaker but unfortunately time prevented that. She mentioned in her speech that the rules governing this were those adopted by Parliament and yet I hear in the speech just delivered that the parliamentary committee's report was absolutely ignored.
I wonder if the member who just spoke can correlate the parliamentary secretary's comment that what is being done is within the purview of Parliament, when he said that the parliamentary committee was absolutely ignored. Could he comment on that?
