Toronto, le 13 décembre 2007

(Sessional Paper No. 12, Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; Community and Social Services; Education; Finance; Public Infrastructure Renewal; Training, Colleges and Universities; Transportation.)

(Document parlementaire no 12, Agriculture, Alimentation et Affaires rurales; Services sociaux et communautaires; Éducation; Finances; Renouvellement de l'infrastructure publique; Formation, Collèges et Universités; Transports.)

Ordered, That the message of the Lieutenant Governor together with the Estimates accompanying same be deemed to be referred to the Standing Committee on Estimates pursuant to Standing Order 61(a).

  

The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Yesterday, the Member for Oshawa, Mr. Ouellette raised a point of order arising out of Question Period. The Member for Oshawa expressed an opinion that on at least two occasions during yesterday's Question Period, answers were given that amounted to announcements which should more properly have been made during Ministerial Statements. The Member asked for some clarification on the rules and practice respecting this issue.

While the Speaker is not in a position to make judgements on answers in order to ascertain whether the contents constitute announcements of new public policy, I am nevertheless in agreement with the Member that such announcements should be made during Ministerial Statements and not during Question Period.

I would therefore remind the House that as much as possible, Ministers should refrain from using Question Period to make statements that would more appropriately be made during Ministerial Statements, particularly in response to questions asked by members sitting on the government benches.
