Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Ms CHAPMAN: —is there some reason, Premier, why you will not tell us here in the parliament when you first knew about this?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I rise on a point of order, Mr Speaker. The honourable member has been here long enough to know that she must address questions through the chair.

The SPEAKER: The question does need to be addressed through the chair, and—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The house will come to order! The question is disorderly in that it was not addressed through the chair, for one thing. Also, I did detect a certain hint of debate in the question, but, if the Premier wishes to respond—Premier.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:46): Always happy to assist my friend, the member for Bragg—the Liberals' once and future queen. I also want to say that I do remember the Minister for Health telling me about this device, which I understand is on the cutting edge of information technology. He told me about the incident. I will check my notes and I will respond to the member for Bragg sine die.
