Mr President, I rise on a point of order. This is a real breach of question time, and I ask you, Mr President, to go back and review Hansard and the tapes of this question time. The minister has come nowhere near the question in the entire duration. We have got nine seconds left. It is a waste of time. If the minister is not going to answer the question, just sit down and say you cannot answer it because you do not know the answer. Do not waste our time. Mr President, please review Hansard. We need relevance in these questions; otherwise, as an opposition, we are going to have to seriously look at the procedures for question time.
