Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order in light of what happened in question period today in the question from the member for Davenport, as well as the question that was posed last Wednesday by the member for Kingston, in terms of taking away a government's response.
The precedent that had been set in this place is that even if a member asks a question that is not related to government business, if the minister gets up then the Speaker had recognized that minister to speak. I am just asking for some consistency and fairness in the practice so we all know, as members of Parliament, the frame of how these questions should be asked and whether an answer is respected or is given or not, as well as the consequences when a member from the opposition asks a question that is out of order.
