I would just comment that the government seems to be having revolving chairs over there. That is the third person I have seen representing the government in the ministerial role in the last 10 minutes. We have a right to expect more consistency and organisation. The government is in control of the chamber, but it seems like it does not know where it is at the moment. I will again put the questions about the medicines working group: who is on it, how does it deliberate, what is its bailiwick and what have its outcomes been? I also asked for the government to explain its amendments. I thought it might want to do that, but I am not sure which of the government spokespersons would have the best information on that.
