  Prime Minister's Questions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prime Minister's Questions, or regarded more officially as Questions to the Prime Minister, is a Parliamentary practice, by unofficial law, in the United Kingdom where every Wednesday when the House of Commons is sitting, the Prime Minister spends half an hour answering questions from Members of Parliament ("MPs").
In Canada this constitutional convention is known as Question Period and occurs both in the federal Parliament and in the provincial legislatures.
The only question that the Prime Minister had to answer personally was his/her list of engagements for the week; hence he/she is asked this question first, and all subsequent questions are follow up questions, forcing the Prime Minister to answer the questions his or herself.

 Connections: Parliamentary Process | Question period: A battle of wits
Question period is part of the routine business in Parliament where members of Parliament direct questions to the government to account for its actions and get information.
Questions are generally directed at cabinet ministers or the prime minister, who are not obligated to answer or explain their refusal to answer.
If MPs are not satisfied with answers given during question period, or if their question was ruled out by the Speaker because it was not urgent, they can discuss the matter in the adjournment proceedings at the end of the day.

 Question Period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Question Period or, as it is known on the Order Paper, Oral Questions (French: questions orales), is a Canadian parliamentary practice similar to the British Prime Minister's Questions in which Members of Parliament submit questions to the government ministers including the Prime Minister for answer.
Question Period has a reputation for being quite chaotic due to the commonplace cat-calling and jeering from non-participating MPs, but notwithstanding the heckling, Question Period is actually tightly-regulated.
Questions and responses are all timed as well, in order to prevent excessive speeches, and the Speaker of the House has the ability to cut the microphones of members speaking after the specified time has elapsed.

 How to Handle Questions & Answers - presentation skills
It is important that everyone "hear" the question or the answer you provide may not make sense to some of the people.
Always repeat the question - this does three things: (1) it makes sure you understood the question, (2) it gives you a chance to value the question and think of an answer, and (3) it assures the other people in the audience can hear the question since you are facing them.
Responding too quickly to those questions you are most comfortable with will only bring attention to those questions you do not.

 B.C. Opposition stunned by new limits on question period
The Speaker of the B.C. legislature has taken steps to restrict the length of questions and answers in the assembly's question period which, at 15 minutes, is already the shortest in the Commonwealth.
The new rules limit questions to one minute, with a supplementary question limited to 30 seconds, and any subsequent supplementary to 20 seconds, if the Speaker allows one.
And he cited Wednesday's raucous question period, the first of the new session, as an example of what he wants to avoid.

My RE told me that it isn't uncommon for us women with pcos to have this happen once in awhile as we go long periods between af's and don't always have 'normal' af's, meaning we just have really light af's (which was me!).

 Three or six months? A follow-up question on the window period   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Because longer window periods appear to be so rare, a three month test is very close in accuracy to a six month test.
Confusion about the length of the window period feeds this anxiety and I hate to think that, in my attempt to help people, I may have added to the confusion myself.
Because there is some uncertainty about the window period, it is best to be cautious and recommend a fairly long window period.
