Mr President, on the point of order: this is a question that was based on a false premise and had a hypothetical thrown in as well. This is a question that was utterly ludicrous. Despite that, Senator Wong has been absolutely discussing the question and responding to it. But when you ask a hypothetical on a hypothetical on a hypothetical it does become a little absurd and it is broad ranging. I would ask you to dismiss this frivolous point of order. Senator Macdonald is just embarrassed that his question was so poor.
