    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have observed that certain traditions of the House are being violated. It is our tradition to welcome visitors and the visitors sit in the Gallery as directed by the Speaker. However, when Members are contributing and welcoming visitors, we tend to speak directly to them. The tradition of Parliament is that we address the Chair and any advice should be through the Chair. If we want to provide advice directly to the visitors, we can always retreat with them to the restaurant or outside. That is the correct tradition of Parliament. If we do not discuss it, then it shall become common practice. It happens in all other parliaments that we go to, that you do not speak directly to persons sitting at the gallery. I thought that was important to sanitize proceedings of this House."
