Mr. Elwin Hermanson (Kindersley-Lloydminster, Ref.): Mr. Speaker, on this point of privilege, I would like the House to look at citation 409 of Beauchesne's, clause 6 which says: A question must be within the administrative competence of the Government. The Minister to whom the question is directed is responsible to the House for his or her present Ministry and not for any decisions taken in a previous portfolio.
M. Elwin Hermanson (Kindersley-Lloydminster, Réf.): Monsieur le Président, sur cette question de privilège, je voudrais que les députés consultent le commentaire 409(6) de Beauchesne: La question doit porter sur un sujet compris dans les responsabilités administratives du gouvernement, ou du ministre.
