Before I called the Leader of the Opposition on a point of order, I wanted to hear the minister. I was worried he was straying. I think the point—

Mr Rob Mitchell interjecting—

If you as Second Deputy Speaker of all people in this chamber think it's appropriate to interject on me, you are going to spend a lot of time out of the chamber in this parliament. No, you're not going to wave your hands. People get thrown out under 94(a). I'm saying to the Second Deputy Speaker: you have special responsibilities in that role. I regret I have to say that, but I feel I have no choice anymore. I will hear the Leader of the Opposition on a point of order.
