Hon members, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the hon Kgarebe to the NCOP. The hon member was sworn in on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. I wish you all the best in your activities as a member of the National Council of Provinces. Hon Kgarebe replaces hon Tlhagale from the North West, and will represent the ACDP. Is she in the House? Can you stand up and let them see you? [Applause.] Thank you very much.
Does anybody wish to give a notice of motion? No. Does anybody wish to move a motion without notice? [Interjections.] Which one? [Interjections.] Can members please wake up when I get into the Chair!
Chairperson, on a point of order: Is it parliamentary for a member to address the Chair while eating?
That is unparliamentary. Who is eating? Please stop eating. You must not eat anything in the House.
