I want to indicate that I get the hon. member's point and I will take the information under advisement. I want to remind members who are getting up on this point of order that our precedents are clear that it is not for the Chair to rule on the content of the responses to written questions. Indeed, in a ruling on a similar matter, on April 25, 2022, at page 4310 of the Debates, the Chair stated: The Chair is of the view that ruling on the completeness of responses to written questions is tantamount to ruling on their content, and that is not the Chair's role. Therefore, although the hon. member is mentioning that the information was different, he may not like the information that he received, but he did receive a response. I will go to another point of order if the hon. member is finished. If he wants to continue on with respect to the information he just provided, as I indicated, he may not have been satisfied with the information he received, but it is very clear that it is not the responsibility of the Chair to rule on the information he has received. I would ask the hon. member to wrap it up, please, because points of order and questions of privilege need to be succinct and to the point and should not drag on. The hon. member for Battle River—Crowfoot.
