Resume your seat.

Once a point of order is taken on relevance, it's not an opportunity to simply be able to give further explanations or directions.

Honourable members interjecting—

Order! The minister has already been called to order regarding his answer. The member has asked and raised a point of order, which she's entitled to do, so the minister is going to be directly relevant to the question. He may not give a figure that the member would like.
