Order! Excuse me. I am not in a debate. If you want a ruling, you will get a ruling, but I am not going to debate it with you. I am listening to the minister’s answer very closely. I said that in response to Senator Brandis’s earlier point of order. I cannot instruct the minister how to answer the question that you have asked. I am listening to see that the question that you have asked is being addressed, but it might not be addressed with the specific answer that you want and in the specific way you want the answer to be delivered. That is my difficulty. I have explained that as previous presidents before me have explained it.
