Questioning and answering questions is the activity that the People's Council delegates and the majority of voters are most interested in and look forward to at each session, so the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council always considers and innovates in this activity. At the 14th session (July 2015), the Provincial People's Council chose to question many issues that are correct and meet the wishes of the majority of voters.

Specifically, the application of scientific and technological topics into practice has achieved low results and has not had a strong impact on socio-economic development; the situation of arbitrary and non-compliant labor contracts in state administrative agencies and public service units affects discipline, administrative discipline and the rights of workers; job placement for ethnic minority students in mountainous districts who study under the selection system still has many shortcomings, the number of students who have finished school but have not found jobs is still large; the settlement of backlog of files for people with revolutionary contributions is still slow.

Through questioning and answering questions, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council noted that relevant sectors need to carefully screen topics on applying science and technology, pay attention to applying science and technology in agriculture. Along with that, it is necessary to perfect mechanisms and policies related to science and technology, mechanisms and policies for creating science and technology markets; coordination mechanisms with other sectors; strengthen the organization of science and technology work. Or as related to the content of questioning on labor recruitment, it is required that: The Provincial People's Committee strengthen the direction of recruitment in agencies; direct units to rearrange the apparatus, provide training to improve quality, build monitoring mechanisms, strengthen inspection and handling of violations; redefine training needs to have a reasonable recruitment regime.

The highlight of the questioning and answering activities in 2015 was the 15th session. As it was the last session of the term, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council reviewed the contents that had been questioned in the sessions from the beginning of the term until now but had not had any positive changes; at the same time, it considered the proposed opinions of the Standing Committee and the committees, the Provincial People's Council delegates as well as synthesized the opinions and recommendations of voters in the province to select the content of the questioning. Accordingly, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council synthesized nearly 30 issues, of which 15 issues were selected in 4 areas: economy; culture - society; traffic - transportation; ethnic groups - mountainous areas to discuss and include in the content of the questioning.

The Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council unanimously raised questions on three key issues. These are: Food safety and hygiene; environmental pollution; implementation of unfinished landslide prevention and resettlement projects affecting people's lives. Of which, food safety and hygiene and environmental pollution are two issues that were "re-" questioned. The remaining issues out of the 15 issues were reported in writing by the Provincial People's Committee to the Provincial People's Council delegates to monitor the implementation of promises made in previous questioning sessions. The special thing at this 15th session was that it was innovated in the direction of "open" questioning.

According to Mr. Tran Van Mao - Standing Member of the Provincial People's Council, the question and answer session at the 15th session demonstrated the spirit of innovation in the activities of the Provincial People's Council. Because in addition to questioning the Provincial People's Committee and departments and branches on the 3 key issues selected by the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council for questioning, the Provincial People's Council delegates also raised questions on issues that had been questioned at previous sessions but had not been or were not resolved, and voters were still concerned and concerned. These are outstanding issues that need to be resolved completely, so that the promises made at the question and answer session are no longer empty promises.
