"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have anticipated my point of order. My point of order is on the adjournment of the House. You ruled that we were adjourning for 30 minutes. If the HANSARD will bear me witness, we have done more than one hour. It is actually one-and-a-half hours since we adjourned. What is the time now? Yes, we adjourned for more than one-and-a-half hours. The one hour beyond the 30 minutes of adjournment would have served us debating other very important issues as we wait for the Committee on Energy to be ready. For purposes of the future, when the Speaker says that we adjourn for 30 minutes, what is the status of the Senate for the time between the end of the 30 minutes and time we resume? Who is going to be held responsible for that time, considering that the Speaker cannot violate his own rules and the Speaker’s ruling is taken very seriously? If this is going to be the practice, what will stop a future Speaker from saying that we will adjourn for 30 minutes, but then we resume the next day? We just appear the next day."
