The Hon. the Speaker: Honourable senators, first, I would like to say something. I want to remind senators that, during Question Period — and I will refer you to rule 4-8(1). I’ll read it again:

During Question Period, a Senator may, without notice, ask a question of:

(a) the Leader of the Government, on a matter relating to public affairs;

I just want to remind senators of that. Also, if you’re asking a question to a committee chair, it’s, “. . . on a matter relating to the activities of the committee.”

So, please, I’d like to remind you that that is the case per rule 4-8(1)(a) and (c). Thank you.

Senator Plett, did you have a point of order?
