Chairperson, may I address you on a point of procedure? It has been protocol in this House that a member from the governing party, usually the chairperson of the committee, follows the Minister when speaking in debates. [Interjections.] We were informed about an hour ago without consultation that the order has now been changed and that the Official Opposition will follow the Minister.
Sir, I would like to ask you whether this conversion will prevail in all debates in the House hereafter, including that of the state of the nation address.
