Order! I'll deal with this. Yes, it is correct: points of order can be taken on relevance. If a minister is answering directly about the question—it may not be the specific answer you want—that is not a time to simply get up and ask for a point of order on relevance. I warned the member about that. The minister is being relevant. And if that standing order is going to be abused, there will be consequences. I will return the minister to the dispatch box to continue with her answer.
