Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would like to ask the government House leader when I can expect answers to my two questions, Q-4 and Q-52.
I have asked this question previously and have not received an answer as to when the answer is forthcoming. Q-4 has been outstanding now for 227 days and Q-52 for 149 days.
Because I am being refused this information I am prevented as an MP from doing my job properly. If the government does not provide me or other MPs with the information within a reasonable length of time, we as MPs in opposition cannot properly debate and critique government legislation.
I do not know why the government is reluctant to release this information. It should have this information available before it introduces some of the relevant legislation in this House.
When can I get an answer to this? This is of great concern to me. It is incumbent on the government to produce this information.
