Madam Speaker, the member from Davenport just said that she sees the Minister of Status of Women to be equal to the Minister of International Trade, yet if we look at the order in council appointing the Minister of Status of Women, it says the following:
to assist the Minister of Canadian Heritage in the carrying out of that Minister's responsibilities
Simply calling a minister a minister without actually changing the enabling legislation or the Financial Administration Act does not put that person at the level of the minister or the departmental apparatus of a minister.
Will the member from Davenport correct her statement to reflect that fact?
