I thank the honourable member for some notice of question.
(1)–(5)
Due to the complexity of the question, especially part (2), it is requested
that the honourable member put this question on notice.
The
PRESIDENT : Could I
repeat what I said at the end of question time yesterday and reinforce the
standing orders in terms of questions and answers. The question as well as its
answer must be reasonable in terms of its comprehensiveness and the time frame
given. With a question like that where only some notice has been given—about
four hours—I think it will break down the system if we continue to have
overly complex question asked along those lines.
