You are obviously disrespecting the chair. You cannot do that in a committee. Let me tell you this, Ms. Hoeppner. The bottom line is that there is decorum in how we speak to each other--not in what we say, but how we say it. And if one presumes to say to other people that they do not have the right to make decisions on their own and you are then deciding that they do not have the integrity to make their own decisions, that's disrespectful of your colleagues. Please think about how you phrase things. I'm just asking you be respectful and to have some decorum in how you speak to your colleagues.
Mr. Van Kesteren has spoken very clearly about respect for each other. Let us really try to phrase.... You have points to make. I am not stopping you from making your points. How you make them is something that I must be concerned with. So please be careful how you speak to your colleagues. By insinuation, you are saying that they have no integrity in their own decision-making.
I'm sorry.
