Colleagues, as you are all aware, when a question is posed it is posed to the government. Ministers cannot be queried on their political responsibilities; it is their ministerial responsibilities. That is why I said at the beginning that the preamble to the question itself was questionable.
Colleagues, we have quite a leeway in asking questions but sometimes you force your Speaker, you force me, to intervene before I get to the question.
The point of order was brought up. I am going to rule it was not a point of order, and we will let this matter rest at this time.
I am going to go to the House leader of the opposition. I have notice of a point of privilege and I will hear what he has to say about that.
