The Leader of the House makes a very valid point. We have question time and you have the opportunity to ask a very specific question. If it's not specific, we really can't have a situation where bits are added to it afterwards by way of points of order. Of course, there's an opportunity to ask a very specific question along the lines made in the point of order, but the minister is only compelled to answer what was actually asked.
