Mr President, I add my voice to everyone's congratulations on your assumption of the office of President. Pursuant to standing order 74(5), I ask the Assistant Treasurer for an explanation as to why an answer has not been provided to question on notice No. 621, which was asked on 5 May 2014. Some notice has been provided to the minister's office earlier in the day. It relates to a question that I put to the Assistant Treasurer on notice on 5 May of this year. The amount of time that is allocated for answers to come back to questions on notice is 30 days. This question was submitted two months ago. I will move that we take note either of the explanation or the absence of such, once we have heard from the Assistant Treasurer.
