If a Member of the Legislative Assembly has a question that requires a long, detailed, or technical answer from a Cabinet minister, the MLA is encouraged to ask it as a written question rather than an oral question.
A written question will be placed on the Orders of the Day until a Cabinet minister responds to it or the legislative session ends. If the question has not been answered before the legislative session ends, then the MLA can resubmit the question at the start of the new session.
