Member for Wright, I am going to intervene on you, right now. You know better than that. You know better than that. You have been in this chair's position. I do expect a little more cooperation than that. My interjection was directed to you both, so please don't take it one way. If you want to second-guess all of my decisions in the chair, that's going to make it a very difficult relationship for you and me. So please proceed. I just ask you and everybody in the chamber: this is not a personal debate here; it's a matter of public importance; direct your comments through me, so that it isn't—that's why that standing order exists. I give the call to the member for Wright.
