I believe the question is being answered. I again draw to the attention of the Senate the fact that I cannot instruct the minister or tell the minister how to answer the question. I cannot get a minister to respond to a question that is being asked in the way that might be desired by the questioner. That is something I cannot do. I have said that the minister is addressing the question. The minister has 12 seconds remaining and I draw the minister’s attention to the question. He can add any further remarks he wishes to add in those 12 seconds.
