Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: The House maintains an unequal hierarchy of authority. I speak from here and you, Deputy Speaker, speak from where you are. It is not equal. In other words, once you make a ruling, all of us, without exception, without fear or favour, must accept that ruling. If we are unhappy about that ruling, it is natural and human that we would find ways of challenging it.
In conclusion, you did not stifle any debate today. You only indicated that you wanted to study that Rule and come back to us. So, be firm and decisive, and close this issue until you come back to us.
If people are allowed to behave the way some people are behaving in this honourable House, we will never make progress. Decide, and we shall obey. [Applause.]
