Mr President, on the point of order: what we again have is abuse of the taking of a point of order in order to restate the question. The minister is being responsive to the question and providing an answer. I would ask that you rule the point of order out of order and remind those opposite that they should not use a point of order to restate their question. It is a poor tactic and it reflects badly on them.
