Mr President, on a point of order: I did not want to interrupt the eloquence of my good friend, but I was not aware that you could raise at this point unanswered questions from an estimates committee. You certainly can under standing order 74, but thank goodness I did not take the point of order before such an eloquent speech. I just want to know whether we are setting a precedent now and that we can do that into the future. You might like to reflect on that, Mr President, and on standing order 74.
