Cummins (Delta-South Richmond): Mr. Speaker, on October 28, 1997 I asked Question No. 33. There seems to be a reluctance to answer the question. The question has to do with the Oak Bay Marine Group and the Sport Fishing Institute, two organizations very near and dear to the fisheries minister's heart. I was told on April 29 that the response was with the House leader's office. I was informed he had it on March 26 and on April 16 as well. I wonder if the parliamentary secretary could look in his desk to find that response this morning.

Adams (Parliamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons): Mr. Speaker, I regret to say that I do not have the response in my desk, but again I will look into it. Mr. Speaker, you will have noted that in the last several days we have in fact replied to a considerable number of questions.

Cummins: Mr. Speaker, on December 2, 1997 I asked Question No. 56, which at one point I was told was with the House leader's office. The parliamentary secretary pointed out at one point, quite inaccurately, that roughly 800 questions had been received to that point, which was a great exaggeration. He said that he had answered half of them. If he had I guess I would be finished. On many occasions he has told me that I could expect an answer in a timely fashion. The parliamentary secretary is beginning to remind me of Bill Clinton. Clinton said that Monica Lewinski was going to-

The Deputy Speaker: That is a point of order and I think the hon. member is straying far off the point. I think the parliamentary secretary has got the point. He has indicated already that he is working on answers to the hon. member's questions and I am sure he will continue to do so. Does the hon. parliamentary secretary wish to address this question also?
