Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am going to reply because it is necessary that I do. The concern was raised with the Conflict of Interest Commissioner who advised that the Minister should refrain from participating in Cabinet and FMB decisions regarding the harmonization initiative. The commissioner was also clear that once Cabinet and FMB had issued direction, the Minister who is responsible to implement that direction would not be in conflict. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
