Question Time

[PJ]

What is this government's position on collective bargaining rights and union shops?

[PJ]

Order! I would like to ask the Member to address his question to a specific minister to help avoid any confusion.

My apologies, the question is directed toward the Minister of Social Protection.

[PJ]

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if the Prime Minister is putting words in the mouths of the Social Liberals, or if the Social Liberals agree with the Prime Minister that the Socialists are "radical revolutionaries" using "ploys and deceptions" in exposing the nepotism and wastes of taxpayer money in this Government.

[PJ]

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if the Prime Minister is putting words in the mouths of the Social Liberals, or if the Social Liberals agree with the Prime Minister that the Socialists are "radical revolutionaries" using "ploys and deceptions" in exposing the nepotism and wastes of taxpayer money in this Government.

Order! I must rule this question out of order.  The Deputy Prime Minister's portfolio does not cover the the affairs of the Social Liberals, and certainly not of his opinion of the Conservative Party's opinion of the Socialist Party!

I invite the Honorable Member to rephrase his question to target the Deputy Prime Minister's portfolio responsibilities in the government.

The statement in question was made by the Prime Minister of a Government of which the Honorable Deputy Prime Minister is a member, so to ask if he agrees with the statement is certainly covered under his portfolio. Additionally, the Deputy Prime Minister is the highest ranking Social Liberal in government and as such is representative of the junior coalition partner. Nevertheless, the question has been rephrased:

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he agrees with the Prime Minister that the Socialists are "radical revolutionaries" using "ploys and deceptions" in exposing the nepotism and wastes of taxpayer money in this Government.

[PJ]

To ask the Minister for Social Protection what will be done to address the human rights abuses in which states within our republic are forcing minors to give birth to children conceived as a result of rape or incest in a clear violation of their reproductive rights.

[PJ]

To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs when our republic will do its part to address the Syrian refugee crisis.

To ask the Minister for Justice what the government's policy is toward uncontacted peoples within South America.

[PJ]

To ask the Prime Minister why members of his cabinet are openly giving their support to an Atlasian presidential candidate who openly supports imperialist annexation of Canada, Mexico, and Central America. For all of this government's lamenting and obsessing over diplomatic relations with Atlasia, one would think they would at least have a coherent position on that.
