Mr. Speaker, a point of order. I would like to draw to the attention of the House that I have had Questions Nos. 8 and 9 on the Order Paper since February 28, which is 53 days. Furthermore, Question No. 9 was in the exact same form in the last session of Parliament-nothing has changed-and it sat there, I believe, for over 150 days without being answered.
The previous parliamentary secretary to the House leader assured me that departmental officials were working hard on the answer and I would have it soon.
Several weeks have gone by and I have not heard anything. It is unacceptable that I cannot get this information in a timely fashion.
