Mr. Speaker, the staff drafted the revisions and are responsible for applying and adhering to the procedures and are probably the best people to ask the questions of. I am not an expert in these policies. I have a sense that Members will only get frustrated with the answers I will give.
I can tell you that these were recommended by our staff to ensure that the Ministers can travel, be accountable and have the same flexibility that other Members of Cabinet across this country have and what is allowed for federal Ministers will be used.
There were older procedures or policies. That is exactly my point. I do not know what the terms are, but they are technical terms and it is important to stick to them. I would suggest, not to waste a lot of time, that the Members see that this is moved into committee of the whole so that appropriate staff can help address this. We do not need to get all worked up about it.
