Respectfully to the hon. member for Calgary Centre on his intervention, I believe my ruling deals with the matter quite adequately. I would encourage the member, and others who might have the same keen interest, to obtain a copy of my ruling from the table. I would hope and I believe that upon closer scrutiny he will find that those concerns have been addressed in the ruling.
I will only repeat in part a very short few lines from the ruling. It states:
There is no legal or constitutional requirement for parliamentary approval of ratification of international agreements. The government could choose however to table an agreement in the House.
I know the hon. member for Calgary Centre was not trying to draw the Chair into a debate over the ruling. The Chair will leave that matter as it is and will now call for orders of the day.
The hon. member for Calgary Centre very briefly.
