'''Question'''
'''Q1: What Question Period notes are required to be published?'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Question Period notes that were prepared by the institution and were in use (that is, were available to the Minister for use in Question Period) on the last sitting day in June and December are required to be proactively published.
</div>
All Question Period notes as prepared by the institution would be released as they appeared at the end of each sitting of the House of Commons, within 30 calendar days following the last sitting day in June and December. The publication deadlines would be extended to July 31 if the House is not sitting in June, and January 31 if it is not sitting in December.
The question period notes would be the final notes as prepared by the institution and would be published regardless of whether or not the Minister actually attended the last sitting day. This could include Question Period notes that were prepared in any month of the year, provided they were actually in use (available to the minister) on the last sitting day of the month in question. It is understood that some Question Period notes that were used in February, for example, may no longer be part of the Question Period package in June and therefore, would not be required to be proactively published.
The package of notes should be treated as independent disclosures to be proactively published twice a year, regardless of whether some of the notes (or versions of the notes) were published as part of a previous publication. Each proactive publication should reflect the package of notes in use at the time.<blockquote>Briefing materials
