Mr Speaker, I wonder if you could clarify this for the House. Given advances in technology, if a member is finding an answer so boring that they resort to listening to an iPod, is that in order?

I thank the member for Prospect. I am not sure that that is a major question, but I would suggest to all members that bringing in devices to listen to is out of order.
