Mr. Speaker, on November 23, 1998, I placed Question No. 169 on the order paper. The question asked how many gun smugglers and illegal gun traffickers have been identified, prosecuted and convicted in Canada using the gun registration system. In accordance with Standing Order 39, I asked for a written answer within 45 days. My constituents and I have now been waiting 169 days. Why can the government not answer my questions in 45 days as it promised? When can I expect an answer to Question No. 169.
In the House of Commons on May 13th, 1999. See this statement in context.
