Thank you, Senator Macdonald—

Senator Wong interjecting—

It is not necessary, Senator Wong.

An honourable senator interjecting—

Yes, I will address that. You are quite right, Senator Macdonald, and I have reminded Senator Conroy and other senators that their remarks should be addressed to the chair. It is not helpful, though, when comments are directed to the speaker which they feel tempted to respond to, and there are some on my right who have very penetrating voices that are not helpful. So I would ask you not to goad the shadow minister.
