The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Yesterday, the Member for Algoma-Manitoulin (Mr. Brown) raised a point of order with respect to a written question submitted to the Minister of Energy, Science & Technology. The question was filed on December 22, 1999 and the Ministry filed an interim response on May 11, 2000, indicating that the final answer would be tabled on June 22, 2000. The interim response filed on May 11, 2000 was in compliance with the period of 24 sitting days pursuant to Standing Order 97(d).

The Member, however, is taking issue with the length of time established in the interim response for the tabling of the information. Standing Order 97(d) is very clear - the Minister may indicate that more time is required to prepare the answer and the approximate date on which it will be tabled.

I find the Standing Order has been complied with.
