The Prime Minister's trip is to meet with the IMF and the World Bank. But, there's also a medical component - due to the PM's ailing back. Faber says that he has been seeking medical treatment.

Hon. Patrick Faber
"The prime minister's absence I know as well has not been planned. In fact the only planned absence that I knew he had just before Easter was to go when he went on the Easter vacation. He did take some treatment at that time and I supposed that it was when he visited with his doctors that first planned visit or absence that he - other things develop and as a result he has had to go back twice. So it's not planned on his part. I am not certain why is it that's a question you'll have to ask the prime minister, but it is the prime minister and the prime minister alone that decides who is going to act and there is nothing written anywhere that says that the prime minister has to pick certain minister whether they are senior or not."

The Prime Minister is set to return on Saturday.
