No, just pause for a second. As I've said, interjections are disorderly at all times. But, when you're expecting the chair to listen to the point of order and rule on the question, I'm inclined to say to those on my left, if you create a wall of noise when I'm trying to rule on it, I'll just go to the next question. Really, it's the most counterproductive thing you could do. The Leader of the House will be heard. He will be heard now in silence, just as the Manager of Opposition Business is. The Leader of the House, if you could start again.
