Senator Conroy, I want you to listen to the question. Mr Temporary Chairman Bishop, I can talk about this bill for hours, but we are here in the committee stage. We want to get this bill dealt with. We want to have our amendments dealt with. We are asking the minister a question and the minister chooses to speak on the telephone and not listen to any of the questions being asked of him. How can he possibly answer the questions when he does not listen to them?
