I hadn't actually stood to make a point again. My point is, if you read it that broadly, Mr President, with all due respect, the minister can do precisely what she is doing, which is to engage in motherhood statements.

Direct relevance means dealing with the issue at hand. Just because something says 'jobs', it doesn't mean a minister can stand up and answer a question by saying, 'We all love jobs.'
