Mr President, I rise on a point of order. While the minister is addressing generally the topic, he was asked two very narrow questions, the answer to each of which is to give us a quantity: how much has been spent and what volumes have been transferred? He has not attempted to address either of those questions. He cannot be directly relevant in failing to provide the two quantities sought. You should direct him to the question or require him to resume his seat.
