Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that on September 17, I had three questions entered on the Order Paper-Questions Q-802, Q-812 and Q-822-and I have yet to receive a reply, in spite of the fact that the 45 days provided for in the Standing Orders have now expired.
I shall reread them briefly, if I may, just to refresh the government's memory. Question Q-802 reads as follows:
Q-802-With regard to the total budget for the Department of Natural Resources, and for each year since the 1987 fiscal year: ( a ) how much (in actual figures) and what proportion (in percentages) of its research and development budgets have been invested in Quebec, ( b ) how much and what percentage have been invested in Ontario (including the Ontario side of the national capital region and excluding the Quebec side of the national capital region), ( c ) what economic spin-off effects have there been from the Candu reactors in Quebec, ( d ) what economic spin-off effects have there been in Ontario, and ( e ) what financial commitment has the department made to the neutrino detection project in Ontario, the Triumph project in British Columbia and to Chalk River, Ontario?
The other two questions were complementary to this one. When can we expect a reply in your opinion?
