Mr President, I raise a point of order. The question went very particularly to the government's position about a second commitment period under Kyoto, as did the supplementary question. We have got through all two minutes of the first answer and 53 seconds of the answer to the supplementary, and not once has the minister actually mentioned the Kyoto Protocol or the second commitment period. I urge you, Mr President, to ask the minister to be directly relevant to the question.
