Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have often mentioned, it is difficult, from this particular location in the House, to see the gallery but if there are residents of Yellowknife South in the gallery, I would like them recognized, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Item 7, oral questions. Mr. Ootes.
Question 124-13(4): Process For Responding To Budget Questions
Item 7: Oral Questions
January 26th, 1997

Jake Ootes Yellowknife Centre
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance. I have a question concerning the process of asking questions in the House with regard to the budget, Mr. Speaker. If the budget is moved into committee of the whole, and questions are asked during question period about
matters regarding the budget, could we expect a reply from the Minister at that time? Mr. Speaker.

Item 7: Oral Questions

The Speaker Samuel Gargan
The question would have to be made perhaps to the Government House Leader, but I would like to ask Mr. Ootes if he might be able to rephrase his question because I am not too sure if the Minister can respond. Mr. Ootes.

Jake Ootes Yellowknife Centre
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will address the question to the Government House Leader. The question being, if I have questions regarding a budget item, will the Minister answer those questions immediately during question period?

The Speaker Samuel Gargan
Again, the Minister would not be able to respond until the question has been asked. Do you want to ask the question? Mr. Ootes.

Yes. My question would be, as a general rule, will the Minister answer the question during question period on budget issues, Mr. Speaker?
Question 124-13(4): Process For Responding To Budget Questions
Item 7: Oral Questions
Page 213
The Speaker Samuel Gargan
I want to remind the Members that the budget address will be moved into committee of the whole for discussion. As of yet, we do not have a motion on referring this. Members are allowed to ask questions regarding this budget while it is still in the House. Once the motion has passed to put this in the items for committee of the whole, it will no longer become a question regarding this, there will be no questions asked.
Mr. Ootes, did you wish to ask a question to the Minister regarding the budget itself. Okay, just a correction. All tabled documents that are referred into committee of the whole, Members are not allowed to ask questions on them, with the exception of the budget itself. Members can ask questions regarding the budget itself, in the House or in committee. I am sorry but I was mistaken. Mr. Ootes.

Jake Ootes Yellowknife Centre
Yes, Mr. Speaker. That does clarify it. I guess the question I have of the Government House Leader is, will the Ministers respond when asked about that process?

If any colleague wishes to ask a question of any Cabinet Minister, on any issue, there is some obligation, I suppose, for us to make an effort to respond and we will do so. Thank you.
