Thank you, Mr President. The point of order is on direct relevance. The question goes directly to whether or not this new agricultural visa will mirror the Seasonal Worker Program or extend the working holiday scheme. They are different schemes with different conditions. We have not asked about those existing schemes. We've asked, as to the new scheme: which architecture will it follow? So I would ask you to remind the minister that she is not being asked to give us an explanation of why the SWP or the working holiday visa are such great things. She's being asked to explain the new agricultural visa.
