Madam Temporary Chairman, I rise on a point of order. The senator is imputing motive and intention which was not there. He may make an argument but I would ask him to withdraw that comment. The senator made an interjection. That may not have been an appropriate thing to do, but that she interjected to try to get the senator opposite to be relevant is not to suggest that she is dismissive of the interests of working families, which seems to be the proposition.
