The Leader of the House will resume his seat. I will rule on whether points of order are frivolous or not. I've heard from the Manager of Opposition Business. The question was very specific, but the way it was framed was, 'Why didn't the government take certain action?' I think the Prime Minister's been very relevant up until now. I have to say that the answer has nothing to do with his observations about the Leader of the Opposition, because he didn't ask the question. But explaining how the program evolved and how it passed through the parliament is being relevant to the question, even if he's not answering in the way you'd prefer.
