Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order.
We have seen on many occasions in the House of Commons since the 1997 election a total disregard by the government with respect to responding to questions that the standing orders obligate it to respond to in a certain time limit.
I wonder whether the parliamentary secretary could not only look into these matter but report back tomorrow on when these questions will be answered. These are very important questions, whether they are from the Reform Party, the Conservative Party, the Bloc Quebecois or the New Democratic Party.
These questions are put on the order paper with reference in accordance with the standing orders that allow us to put questions to obtain information from the government. It continues to refuse to adhere to the regulations.
I ask that the parliamentary secretary report back tomorrow on when these questions will be answered.
