Mr President, I am disinclined on this matter to take a point of order, but I take a point of order on direct relevance. This is about headcounts on charter vessels. It is a private senators bill. The issues that the minister is describing are not germane to the question. If she wishes to take the question on notice because the government hasn't made a decision on the private senators bill that would be a respectful thing to do. But could she please respond to the question?
