On the point of order, the minister was asked about a meeting. It contained somewhat loaded terminology, and I've said before that, when there are very specific questions seeking fact, being directly relevant requires a very strict interpretation. When there is more loaded and contested terminology, ministers have more discretion in responding and remaining directly relevant, including challenging the assertions. The minister is being directly relevant, in my view, and I'll call him to continue his answer.
