Mr. Speaker, this is the fourth time I rise in the House to point out to the government that I have had a question on the Order Paper since October 19. This is more than 120 days ago, although normally, it takes 45 days to get a reply. It has now been four months, and I have yet to get an answer to my question, unlike the hon. member for Calgary Southeast.
The Minister of Public Works is doing everything in his power to prevent us from having access to the information I requested. I wonder whether the government is trying to keep members from having access to the information they need. I ask the Speaker to urge the government to observe the rules of this House. In my opinion, this shows utter contempt for the Standing Orders of this House. Could I have a commitment from the hon. member, a specific date on which I will get the information I requested four months ago?
