Mr. Speaker, I wanted to intervene because I am a bit concerned about the comments from the government House leader.
We do have committee chairs who are not on the government side of the House and who act under the responsibility and right of the official opposition.
I would not want the interpretation or ruling of Mr. Milliken, the Speaker at that time, to be read as meaning that a minister can stand up when a question is directed in particular to a chair whose responsibility is that of the official opposition and not of the government.
