The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-
On Wednesday, April 17, 1996 the member for Dovercourt (Mr Silipo) rose on a point of order respecting the use of Question Period by Ministers to make statements.
The member is quite correct when he asserts that "question period should not be used as the place in which ministers make statements about government policy". I am in full agreement and would caution Ministers that a statement of government policy, of which the House should be informed, should be announced during Statements by the Ministry and not during Question Period.
However, as Speaker Warner states in his ruling of October 9, 1991:
"that is not to say that the Speaker is in a position to make judgements on the contents of answers in order to determine whether or not they constitute announcements of public policy."
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Member for Dovercourt (Mr Silipo) for bringing this matter to the attention of the House and to repeat, that Question Period is not the appropriate time for Ministers to make statements that should be made during the proceeding reserved for that purpose.
During "Oral Questions" the Speaker requested the member for Welland-Thorold (Mr Kormos) to come to order repeatedly.
The member having refused was named by the Speaker and directed to withdraw from the service of the House for the balance of the day's sitting.
