Resume your seat. That word is being yelled out continuously during the debates, and I haven't called it out yet. I'm just saying I don't want that term used. Following on from the research that I've done regarding referring to political parties, I'm just going to ask for that to be tempered. If there's another way that you can rephrase your question, it would assist the House. It is not helpful for that term to be used. I'm sure the member for Goldstein is understanding what I'm saying. I'm just not happy with that term being used at all in the chamber. Members on my left have been yelling that term out non-stop. It's not everyone, but they have been doing it during the debate, and I'm not happy with it. It is about context and it is about the circumstance. I'm just asking everyone in the House to not use that term. The manager?
