Leader's response and procedural dispute
The Leader began responding to the many issues raised, prompting objections from O'Donnell about being labelled populist. The Chair ruled repeatedly on order as members tried to interject.
I am happy that we are in populist hour in the House today. I thank the 18 Senators who made contributions.

We will have no comments. The Leader should be allowed to speak, without interruption.

On a point of order, it is disingenuous. We are not being populists; we are being realists. It is very unfair of the Leader; it is not like him.

I call on the Leader to respond. There should be no interruptions. Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell is out of order.

It is a point of order because it is an accusation.
