The Speaker delivered the following ruling:- |
Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :- |
On Thursday, April 7, 2011, the Member for Welland (Mr. Kormos) raised a Point of Order with respect to the practice of referring questions asked of one Minister to another. The Member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke (Mr. Yakabuski) also spoke to this Point of Order and I have received a written submission from the Government House Leader (Ms. Smith), which I note was copied to the other two House Leaders. The Member for Welland made reference to Standing Order 37(e) which states that, | |
“A minister to whom an oral question is directed may refer the question to another minister who is responsible for the subject-matter to which the question relates.” | |
The Member expressed some concern over the referral of a question on the subject of wood allocations from the Premier to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Government House Leader. | |
The Member will know that the Speaker is not in a position to determine, except in general terms, which particular program or policy falls within the sphere of responsibility for each Minister. It is the prerogative of the government to decide which Minister should answer which question. The Speaker cannot compel any particular Minister to answer a question or indeed decide for the Executive Council who among them is the most appropriate responder. This position has been taken on numerous occasions by successive Speakers here and in other jurisdictions. It is further substantiated by a variety of procedural authorities. I thank the Member from Welland for bringing his concerns to the attention of this House, but I cannot find that he has raised a valid Point of Order. | |
ORAL QUESTIONS |
QUESTIONS ORALES | ||
The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- | |||
I beg to inform the House that, pursuant to Standing Order 71(b), the House Leader of the Official Opposition, the Member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke has notified the Clerk of his intention to file notice of a reasoned amendment to the motion for Second Reading of Bill 179, An Act to amend the Child and Family Services Act respecting adoption and the provision of care and maintenance. (Sessional Paper No. 433). | |||
The Order for Second Reading of Bill 179 may therefore not be called today. | |||
