Question Time

[Barnes]

My question is to the Prime Minister or the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Is the Government aware of any South American citizens who were killed or injured in the horrific and despicable attacks upon the people of Paris on Friday night?

[Cranberry]

To ask the Prime Minister, when he and his government intend to publish any sort of government programme, and whether or not he plans to let parliament give its confidence to this programme.

Furthermore, in lack of a better place to ask this, I would like to pose a question to the honourable Mr Speaker, on whether or not this parliament will get the chance to, as is custom in parliamentary systems similar to ours at the beginning of a new government, to vote on the confidence or lack thereof of parliament in regards to this government. Especially since this government does not command a majority of members of this parliament, such does seem to be a priority to me.

[Oakvale]

If i might answer for the government for Mr. Cranberry's question - yes and yes. The speech outlining the program for government and a confidence vote will be put before the house.

I am still awaiting my answer, Mr. Speaker.
