I have a question. My apologies, but I am actually no clearer on what you are ruling than when you started your contribution. I am genuinely seeking to clarify what it is that you just ruled. I am very much mindful of the fact that my daughter's sixth grade class, from a girls school, is here and I would be appalled if anybody spoke in front of a sixth grade girls class in the way that occurred previously. I am just trying to understand exactly what it is that you have just ruled. We will try to avoid taking them to a building site, but that is no excuse for engaging in that conduct in this chamber.
