The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. And on that note I should also point out, having anticipated this, points of order are becoming statements. There is leniency given to the leader and the Prime Minister, and the Manager of Opposition Business and the Leader of the House. I am not going to allow points of order to be taken frivolously. The Prime Minister is completely in order and on the topic of the question. Points of order are not to be used for an additional statement to be added to a question.
