Speaker, thank you for acknowledging my letter to you.
I wish to inform the House that we had, prior to your decision, suspended Ms Kohler-Barnard for five days because we believe that she impugned the dignity of the House. We do hope that we have set a new standard in that and all members of the House will, in fact, comply with the high standard we believe ought to be applied in this House. She has expressed her contriteness and she will apologise to the House when she comes back. [Applause.]
