Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The question was about student debt. While I understand the minister wants to make some political points, it is a very important question about the effect of higher fees and higher interest on women, given that women earn less over their lifetime than men. I would have thought the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women would want to answer that question.
