AnswerView source ↗
As I indicated, I have spoken this morning to the Department of Health. When I receive that information - Mr D.F. Barron-Sullivan: You will not give that guarantee? Mr J.A. McGINTY: I am not one for knee-jerk reactions and making statements off the top of my head without a proper briefing. I will provide the member with the information that I receive this afternoon. Mr D.F. Barron-Sullivan: But you will not give that guarantee, will you? Mr J.A. McGINTY: Will the member give a guarantee that the sun will come up tomorrow morning? Let us not be stupid about this. The member is asking a stupid question and one that needs to be answered here. I will get all the facts together and deal with it properly. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Warren-Blackwood to order for the second time.
