I think I can relieve the hon. parliamentary secretary's mind a little bit. There are two things. The Chair does not have much regard to, shall I say, the quality of either questions or answers. Some I am sure are pretty good and some are pretty rotten, but the Chair forms no opinion whatsoever on these matters and does not examine the questions or answers with a view to their quality or lack thereof.
It would be inappropriate for the Chair to somehow suggest that he agrees with the hon. member for Vancouver Island North that the question he got was a pile of rubbish. It is not for the Chair to make that kind of determination even if the Chair had an opinion on that, and, as the hon. member knows, the Chair has so few opinions these days that it is very difficult to come up with something on a question of that kind.
However, he is free to put his question back on the Order Paper. There is nothing in the rules that says he cannot ask the same question again or make a minor change in the wording of it, put it on the Order Paper and seek another response. He does have some assistance now from the parliamentary secretary who has said that he will look into the matter and get back to him. Perhaps after hearing from him he will be so satisfied that he will not even want to do that, but the option is his. As long as he does not have four on already, which is the maximum, he can put it on.
If I could pass on a trick that I know works sometimes, one of his colleagues, who does not have four on, might put it on for him, if that is the block, and away he goes and gets another answer for free. It is a real bonanza in that sense, and I am sure the hon. member would know that. I invite him to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded him by the rules rather than rely on a point of order to get the Speaker embroiled in the question of whether or not an answer was satisfactory, because of course the Chair has no opinion on the quality of either.
