I thank the hon. member for raising the point. The motion adopted on February 28 simply states that a minister must have the agreement of another House leader. It does not require that the parties to the agreement communicate to the House. In making the request, the minister implicitly acknowledges that there is an agreement. There is a long-standing principle that we take a member at their word. There is therefore no reason to doubt the existence of an agreement at this time.
The hon. member for Kelowna—Lake Country has the floor.
