Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo.
I just want to reiterate the point made by my colleague from Edmonton. He asked the minister whether he advised the Prime Minister in relation to this bill when prorogation occurred in the 43rd Parliament. The minister danced, weaved and dodged, and he would not answer the question.
I will ask it again. Prior to the prorogation in the 43rd Parliament, did he advise the Prime Minister in relation to this bill, yes or no?
