Mr. Speaker, I also asked whether the results of the polls would be kept secret. According to the guidelines, they are to be kept secret at the discretion of the minister. Perhaps the next government will also find an empty book when it goes looking for the rules. There do not seem to be any.
My question for the minister is this. If the government is elected by the people and uses money that belongs to the people to ask questions of the people, why is he going to keep the results secret from the people?
