On a point of order, I refer to page 536 of House of Representatives Practice, where it does allow members to ask questions of others who are chairs of committees. It refers to standing order 99, which allows this:

Opportunities to ask questions about committee business are restricted by standing order 100(e), which prevents questions from referring to proceedings of a committee not reported to the House.

This report has been reported to the House. I have asked when he is expecting a response from the government. It is an administrative matter. I expect him to say whether he stands by his own comments, and whether he continues to support these policies.
