Second Reading

I thank the Chief Opposition Whip. Aware as I was that the member for O’Connor should have resumed his seat, I chose to overlook that, given the nature of the interaction we have had. I accept and appreciate the fact that the Chief Opposition Whip has made a valid point in regard to the operation of this House—that I in this position am the arbiter of these proceedings, not the member for O’Connor or anyone else. Accordingly, I thank him for that. I ask the member for O’Connor to resume his speech in relation to this bill.
