It's just an addition to your comments with respect to your decision-making ability. Suffice to say, while you wouldn't have ruled in favour of Ms. Sitsabaiesan's question of personal privilege, the minister did take time to respond to her concern and did apologize.
Perhaps if Ms. Freeman could have an extra minute or so added on to her time, it would make up for the time that the minister did acknowledge and clarify exactly what his comments were.
