People can vote on the questions, and the top-rated queries will get put to the PM.

At time of writing, 132,454 votes had been cast on 1,507 questions submitted by 4,421 people.

The deadline for submissions and voting is Sunday (March 14) at 10 a.m.

Here are six great examples of video questions that have been submitted from across Canada.

From Vancouver: "Why is the Canadian Government continuing to support the ACTA negotiations that Canadian citizens do not have access to but corporate interests such as Microsoft, the MPAA and the RIAA are able to obtain full disclosure?"

From Victoria: "You committed to creating more green, sustainable jobs for Canada. At the same time, your government is the first in 30 years that wants to allow oil tankers on BC's coast. How are these two positions consistent?"

From Victoria: "We are experiencing our warmest winter ever in BC. Climate change is obviously affecting the weather here in Canada. Is your government willing to take the strong measures necessary to adequately deal with climate change?"

From London, Ontario: "What benefit, if any, do you think the prohibition of marijuana, has for Canada. What is a reasonable punishment, if any, for the consumption of marijuana."

From London, Ontario: "Where were the Arts in your budget and throne speech?"

From Toronto: "Why do we still not have a national childcare plan?"
