Senator, you made a point of order and I allowed you a lot of latitude in making your point. I have signed the letters in good faith and have made my decision that the matters raised were outside the scope of the Bill and I will stand by that ruling. I have given you three or four minutes to make your point, which normally would not be allowed, because you feel strongly about it. The point you raised initially was not, in fact, a point of order. That is why I gave you a bit of latitude but we will have to move on now. That is my ruling.
