Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Sessional orders require the minister to be directly relevant to the question asked. The minister has ranged far and wide and has not even accidentally drawn near to the actual question asked, which went to whether the compensation would be paid to a designated householder or to each taxpayer in the household. I would ask you, Mr President, to require him to abide by sessional orders or to sit down.
