On Thursday, the member for Dovercourt, (Mr Silipo) raised a point of order with respect to a question which sought additional information to a previously asked question.

I would say to the member for Dovercourt, that while the Minister may certainly have used another proceeding by which to deliver additional information, there is nothing in our rules or practice which prevents any member from asking a question that seeks to follow up on information provided in previous answers. Indeed, in reviewing Hansard, I find that this is a very common occurrence.

In response to the additional point raised by the member for Windsor-Riverside, (Mr Cooke) I would like to quote from Speaker Warner's ruling of June 3, 1992 in which he said:

"Members will appreciate that our rules have changed since 1970 and one of the effects of these many changes is that the Speaker must now give more latitude to members in the subject matter of their questions for the very simple reason that he has no occasion to vet these questions in advance. I must say that this applies to both sides of the House, and therefore I can only repeat that while I try to be vigilant, I cannot apply standards of questioning to the government members that I do not apply to the opposition members..."
