Honourable Members:

Honourable members interjecting

The SPEAKER:There will be silence. I said I am investigating whether it is possible to enhance the sound and hear the remarks that the Leader of the Opposition can be seen to make. I simply make the point to all members that they are accountable for what they say in the House, even by way of interjection, and there are various forms of the House to ensure that members can be held to account.
