    "content": "not around but these are people I know well and we can have a conversation considering we know each other beyond politics. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we talked and agreed to approach the Speaker to see if we could reach a point of agreement. This is for Members to listen and know because these things happen. I registered my views on the same and said that I have been where some of these Senators are today. I have sat here and a Speaker has made a ruling that I did not agree with under the same Standing Orders. While I protested, made noise and did everything, it never got to the point it has reached today. I did not agree with what the Minority Side was doing. ‘He said, she said, you did and I did’, will not be useful for this House at this moment. We needed to find a solution. We have proposed a solution together with the Leader of the Minority. I know it is not easy because first, you are an elder. Secondly, you are the Speaker in charge as well as an elected Senator. The kind of scenes that have happened before you do not make you happy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we apologize to you on behalf of the leadership that came to see you. Let that be behind us, as a House. We plead with you that in the interest of a bigger conversation, you abandon the communication you were to make this afternoon. A broader conversation will take place afterwards. This request was the first one I wanted to make. Secondly, I plead with you because it is within your powers to make communication with regard to the four colleagues that you had requested to leave the Chamber and let that matter rest."
