Yes, thank you, Mr President. The point of order is on the basis of relevance. I understand that the minister has said the words that she rejects the premise of the question. I do understand that. The issue, though, Mr President, is that I have directly put to the minister that the information she just gave to the parliament in her previous answer is inaccurate. I use the word 'lie' in relation to what the Department of Home Affairs has said. It's the same as the minister has said. So could you please direct the minister to answer the question and to be clear about whether her rejection of the premise is actually a rejection of that assertion.
