Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (National—Ilam): While it's interesting to hear the Leader of the House saying it's not his appointment, I could make the same claim. It's not my appointment. It's not my caucus's appointment. It is the Officers of Parliament Committee's. But it would be completely wrong to suggest that those who are charged with that responsibility don't, in fact, consult with their caucuses prior to the appointments being made. So it is appropriate that it does come before the Parliament for its final ratification.
