Questions on Notice

Questions addressed to a minister should relate to the public affairs with which the minister is officially connected, to proceedings pending in Parliament, or to any matter of administration for which the minister is responsible.

Questions addressed to senators other than ministers must relate to a bill, motion, or other matter connected with the business of the Senate of which such senators have charge.

The purpose of a question is to obtain and not to supply information. Questions, therefore, should ask directly for the information sought.
