Madam Speaker, on the point of order, I am sure you are entirely across it, but the reality is that, under standing order 100, it is acceptable for the Leader of the Opposition to ask factual questions based on fact, especially about a serious matter, but the word 'inducement' connotes a certain dishonesty and as a consequence, therefore, it would be out of order. If the Leader of the Opposition wants to ask a serious factual question about a serious matter then he should do so, and he would be better advised to do that than to mix it up with debate, as you pointed out in the point you made earlier. It offends standing order 100(d)—'Questions must not contain'—and therefore I would ask you to either rule it out of order or take another course where the Leader of the Opposition can withdraw that particular word.
