With respect, Mr. Chairman, we're here tonight at your call. You've set out an order of the day, which you just indicated you intended to follow. This was your decision, and I support it. Now you have one of your Conservative colleagues attacking you like this, showing a total lack of respect for your authority. I intend to defend the chair and the chair's decision, which was clearly rendered, to proceed in the normal way, which is clause by clause. And I insist you do that.
On December 8th, 2009. See this statement in context.
