Standing order 100(d)(vii) does indicate that questions should be ruled out of order with hypothetical matter, so I'm going to ask the member just to rephrase that question slightly to make sure that it is within the standing orders. That's not just repeating the same question with one word changed; it's just making sure that it's a directly responsible decision that the minister has responsibility for, not an expression of opinion or a hypothetical situation.
