Take a seat! Honest to goodness, the interjections that were flying across—I have warned people—

Honourable members interjecting—

I think interjections are disorderly whether you are in your seat or out of your seat, frankly.

Member for Cook, would you like to leave the chamber? No? Then please be respectful of the standing orders. I'm in the middle of responding to your member raising a point of order. Would you like to continue your comments as well, member for Bowman? I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have these kinds of conversations with you. I barely got to hear every second sentence from the Leader of the Opposition; I would have liked to have heard much more of her speech. I will now hear from government members, and I will take it in turns. I'd like to listen to you all.
