Mr Speaker, I just want to refer you to the ruling that you gave last week where you said:

… my approach has been to allow evidence to the commission which has been publicly reported … But what I am less comfortable with is putting a construction on the evidence or the drawing of conclusions about the conduct of individuals who are parties to the proceedings.

The minister did this repeatedly yesterday. He's already started doing it again today, only 18 seconds in, and I would urge you to remind the minister of the ruling that you have appropriately made.
