Senator McKenzie, I have reminded the Senate since question 11 that these additional questions came from a motion of the Senate yesterday, which was agreed to by the chamber, and I have said since question 11 that questions and answers will be heard in silence. I also remind all senators of the motion that was passed earlier in the week, which went to respect. I should not have to call individual senators to order. I should not even have to call, 'Order!' You can have the robust debate in the answer to your question, but, in the intervening time, you will listen in silence.

Senator McDonald, you made a point of order. I will draw the minister to your question. Minister Watt.
