¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. You provided the answer at the very time I expected to receive it, and I appreciate that. I request that action on this matter be taken expeditiously. Mr. Speaker, I have observed the functioning of many governments in this Parliament. This Government assumes responsibility to promptly answer questions asked by Members about issues in their constituencies, requesting one week and responding within that period. I welcome this practice.
