George Alexander Drew (Leader of the Official Opposition)

Progressive Conservative

Mr. Drew:

Mr. Speaker, I think that the attention of the house should be drawn to the fact that these four questions that have just been passed have been standing on the order paper now for six weeks. Unless it is the intention of the government not to answer them at all, they should have been answered long before this. I believe there should be some explanation because the estimates of this department will be coming forward and it will be appropriate that the information asked for in these and other questions should be available to hon. members at that time.
