The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. I was trying to ascertain if he was seeking a supplementary. I remembered they had used up their two supplementaries and, then, in the usual to and fro of question time, it was the government's question. I had given the government the call, and it is totally within the prerogative of the chair as to who gets the call. The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The member for Blair again has the call and he should ask his question again.
