Mr. Speaker, I can inform the Member that there is a mechanism to ensure that questions are answered. Questions that are raised in the House are answered to the Member, whether it is through written response or reply or in person. We do have the mechanism in place for that. Whether the response satisfies the person, that is something totally different. Individual Ministers have responsibilities with what goes on in their departments. Right now they have severe restrictions on spending. There is very little flexibility to move. There are two points. There is a mechanism to make sure that questions are answered but we can never guarantee that the answer that we give a Member is one that he or she likes.
