Mr. Speaker, I think it is pretty clear that Canadians want answers in question period. What do the Conservatives not understand about that?
Far from being a straitjacket, it is the public business that is being conducted here and the Conservatives have a responsibility to answer. All we need to do is give the Speaker the power to enforce relevance rules. We know we have the support of some Conservative members, and hopefully that is growing.
I will repeat the question because we did not get an answer. Will the government allow a free vote on our motion to have relevant answers in question period?
