On the point of order about direct relevance, I said earlier—and the minister did not breach this—that observations about other people were not in order with specific questions. The question did reference the statement. I heard the minister talking about the statement; I believe that is relevant. I can't instruct him how to answer the question. And I might be honest and say a glancing statement that is political in an answer would not be foreign to this particular chamber. But I'm listening very carefully to his answer. I believe he was talking about the statement, and that is directly relevant.
