I just warned the hon. member, and she knows full well that she is not to ask questions of another opposition party during question period. She is supposed to ask questions of the government. This has been going on for quite some time. I would ask members to please make sure that their preamble has more to do with the work of the government, so we know it is going in the right direction, or at least that the end of their question has to do with the government and the administration of the government.
I see that the minister still wants to respond.
The hon. minister.
