Order! The manager will resume his seat. Under the standing orders, the minister is entitled to do that. I'll just, for the benefit of the House, state the standing order, so we are crystal clear. Standing order 45(c) reads:

When there is no question before the House, a Minister may move, without notice, that a government business notice or order of the day be called on immediately. The question must be put immediately and resolved without amendment or debate.

This is what the minister has done. The question is that the motion be agreed to.
