We are not ready to start. In fact, that was mentioned when the Standing Orders were violated.

Oral Questions

I delivered a ruling on the second point earlier this week. Questions must be relevant, but I have no control over the content of the answers. This is in accordance with practice and with the Standing Orders of Parliament. The hon. member for Berthier—Maskinongé.

I know the hon. member is a new member. I probably would have done the same th…

Oral Questions

The hon. Minister of Natural Resources has the floor.

Oral Questions

Unfortunately, I was a bit distracted during the question. I really did not hear the question. I will listen to it properly this time, but it seems like it could be problematic.

Oral Questions

It was one of your colleagues who was heckling me, so let us be careful with the sarcasm. The hon. member can start from the beginning.

Oral Questions

This question is not about the government caucus. It has no connection with the administration of the federal government either. As I see it, the question appears to be off topic. However, I will let the government decide whether to answer. Since no one wants to answer, we will move on to the next question. The hon. member for Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles.
