Madam Deputy Speaker, I took a point of order when the member for Makin asked a question, and you indicated that I was incorrect, but you will find that the routine of business under the House order of business figure 2 in chapter 6 of the standing ordersclearly indicates that question time is designed to finish at 3.10 pm.

The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat.
