I think I will be repeating something I just heard across the floor of the House, but for the sake of everyone who did not hear that exchange, in that same citation under 67.1(1)(a), the member for Calgary Southeast raises the prospect that the government should only be able to put the question:
--to the Minister responsible for the item which has been subject to the motion pursuant to Standing Order 57 or 78(3)--
Then I follow with:
--or to the Minister acting on behalf of the Minister sponsoring the item, and the said Minister may make a corresponding reply.
Again I think that in fact we are well within the confines of our rules.
