Mr. Speaker, the hon. member seems to be mixing up the questions put and the responses given.
The fact is that any member of the opposition can address any question to any member of the government. However, the Prime Minister may answer any question himself or some other minister might answer any question, depending on the decision of the government.
The actual response to a question from the other side of the House is from the government. The government speaks as one voice and, therefore, the principle of the solidarity of cabinet is preserved.
I will be happy to discuss this more fully with the hon. House leader of the opposition because really there is no issue of privilege whatsoever or a point of order.
If the member wishes to have lunch with me sometime and chat about this a bit more, we might even invite the Speaker to come along.
