The standing orders prevent the same question from being asked again—well, it certainly seemed identical.

Government membe rs interjecting—

I'm very appreciative of the gratuitous advice from members on my right but, as members on my right know, I am able to give a member an opportunity to rephrase a question. But, on this occasion, it's not a matter of rephrasing the question. That question was out of order because it was, to the extent that I'm able to tell—and I don't have the wording in front of me—identical. I think the House accepts your mea culpa, Member for Cooper. I will give the member for Cooper the call on this occasion.

That's out of order, Leader of the House. The member for Cooper has the call.
