Mr. Speaker, the member is quite right. I know he has been following Question No. 21 very closely.
I pointed out previously that we have received almost 1,000 petitions and we have responded to 70% of them, the vast majority within 45 days. In the case of the questions we have answered approximately 75%.
Question No. 21, as the member knows, involves consultations with every minister in cabinet. That is what is taking the time. I assure the member he will have a reply as soon as is humanly possible.
