The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat.

Government members interjecting—

Members on my right will cease interjecting. You will understand that I will always hear the Leader of the House and the Manager of Opposition Business. I do not extend that more widely than that. I say to the Manager of Opposition Business that he cannot insist that a minister use certain words. The minister is being directly relevant to the question. The Manager of Opposition Business might not like the answer but he cannot have a question asked and demand a certain answer. The minister is entirely in order.
