Mr President, I rise on a point of order. How long are you going to allow this incompetent minister to keep pretending to answer questions when she does not go anywhere near the subject of the questions she is asked? This is typical of this minister. She always spends the first half of any answer attacking the questioner, because she is simply incapable of answering any question. Mr President, I seek your help in making this chamber work and in making question time work by making sure government ministers actually address questions.
