Just before I call the minister, perhaps I'll hear from the Leader of the House. I just need to be convinced—

Honourable members interjecting—

Alright—I can rule on it whenever you're ready. I have made the point that when it comes to ministerial responsibilities, certainly, questions can't be asked about policy areas for which the minister is not responsible. They can be asked about a minister's previous answer. But, as I've made clear, that's been referring to the minister's previous answer. I'll hear from the Leader of the House on it—sorry, from the Manager of Opposition Business on it.
