Thanks very much, Mr Speaker. Standing order 99 has been used before, including when the Leader of the House was in the job that I'm in now. The rules around it are that the member being asked has to be responsible for the committee—this obviously applies, given he is the chair of it—and relates to issues for which he is responsible.
