Thank you, Madam Chair.
I can appreciate Costas' attitude in being anxious to contribute to the discussion. Speaking for myself, you wouldn't believe how long I've had to wait, Madam Chairperson, to be able to do so.
Sometimes it can be challenging, when the temptation is to really become engaged and to want to share your ideas and your thoughts. Then as we move along, the scope of the discussion starts to narrow. What I'm thinking is that I'd like to express a number of concerns, concerns that I think all members should be very sensitive to.
You will find that it is actually quite relevant, and if at any point in time members want to ask how it is relevant, they may feel free. I caution members that often, points of order are another way of adding to the filibuster, so they might not want to raise points of order. But I don't mind it.
I must also say, Madam Chairperson, that if people want to heckle they can go ahead and heckle, but the problem is that if you heckle, chances are I might pick up on some of it, and that would add, potentially, to what I might have to say. I say this only because I appreciate the importance of democracy and procedures and process and how things of this nature work.
Over the last day or so, it has been really interesting to sit back and listen to a number of people exchange their thoughts and their ideas on something that I believe is really important. Being a parliamentarian for more than 20 years, I can honestly say that I deeply love and have a passion for process. Whether it was sitting in the chair or sitting on the side—
