I want to make this really clear to the member for Clark, because we're not going to keep doing this. The Prime Minister can end question time at any time. It's written up in the Practice. He can end question time partway through a question, partway through an answer or, indeed, at the beginning of question time. It's been that way the whole time. There's no point in the member for Clark getting agitated about that fact. That is just a fact that's written up in the Practice very clearly.
