Order! The minister and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume their places. Occupants of the chair have been placed in this predicament on many occasions and often come to the conclusion that the only basis for not requiring a withdrawal is that this is a robust chamber. Regrettably, I am in a position that I believe that this is a marginal call, but I am very discomfited by the proceedings. That is what I have tried to convey and that is why I would appreciate it if the House could slow down and lower the temperature of this discussion.
