Mr. Speaker, the hon. Leader of the Opposition is once again building a question on a strong base of fantasy. Never, in a letter, comment or direction did I say that there would be any limit of 36 hours.
This morning I spoke directly to the chairman of the social services ministers, Dr. James Smith. I asked him where he heard it and he said it was brought up by somebody in the meeting and the press asked about it and he responded. I asked: "Had you heard it from me?" He answered: "No. You are talking about10 days, two weeks, whatever time is necessary for a response".
I would say to the hon. Leader of the Opposition that before he asks a question he should get his facts straight.
