Mr Speaker, on a point of order: the member has been speaking for more than five minutes now and has not once mentioned any word that is the topic of the matter of public importance before the House. I do ask that the member be brought to the topic. I know that it is not interpreted terribly strictly at this time, but the member should at least vaguely be able to discuss the topic that is before us. It is after all a very important matter of public interest. I would have thought that the member for Mackellar might be able to say something of significance on the topic.
