Comment on this
Before I call Senator MacSharry, a number of Senators indicated their wish to speak yesterday but due to time constraints they did not get in. I will call on those Senators first today.
Irrespective of the subject matter of contributions or the strength of views held by any Senator in the House, I ask every Senator to show respect at all times to the House and to the Chair and to conduct their contributions in an orderly manner.
