On direct relevance, Mr Speaker. My question was about spreading the money over 15 years, and the minister is now talking about abatement over 10. The point was about the contradiction between the announcement and the budget.

The SPEAKER: If the member perhaps refers to the last line of his question, I think he might find that it opened things up. The minister is completely in order. If that was all he had asked, we might be able to have a discussion. But when you have a tag line at the end of the question like you did, you just open the garage door. The minister is completely in order.
