I think the point of order is well taken and I will quote Beauchesne's, the section "oral questions", 409(6): "A question must be within the administrative competence of the government. The Minister to whom the question is directed is responsible to the House for his or her present ministry and not for any decisions taken in a previous portfolio." Oral questions. Mr. Nerysoo.
