Mr Acting Deputy Speaker, I rise to take a point of order on the member for Blair's speech which I have been enjoying as I listen intently. He has referred to a minister as Minister Clare. He knows that under standing orders ministers should be referred to by their title, or they can be referred to as the member for their constituency. If I could also add that I think that it is a very pernicious development to start referring to ministers as Minister Smith or Minister Brown.
