Chapter 19 - Relations with the executive government
Questions to ministers
At the time specified in the routine of business, questions without
notice may be put to ministers relating to public affairs, and to other
senators relating to any matter connected with the business on the Notice Paper
of which such senators have charge (SO 72(1)). Provision is also
made for questions on notice, that is, questions put and answered in writing
(SO 74).
Although questions may be put to senators other than ministers, they are mainly
used to obtain information from the ministry, and are therefore dealt with in
this chapter.
