Senator Macdonald, as you know, there is no point of order. I cannot instruct a minister, as I have told your colleagues previously and as other presidents before me have said, on how to answer a question or direct them to answer it in a specific way. I draw the minister’s attention to the question and I advise the minister that there are 45 seconds in which to address the issues raised by the question.
