"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a reason we want to position ourselves as the ‘Upper House.’ The Cabinet Secretary for Health - allow me one minute to say this - was the Leader of Majority in the other House. He was extremely contemptuous of this House. We cannot conduct ourselves in a way that affirms the contempt he used to show. Instead of pointing fingers at ourselves, we should be condemning the Cabinet Secretary for keeping us waiting. We have had children sitting in the gallery- children that you invited - watching the leader of this House behave in a manner beneath them. The initial request was to expunge certain statements from the HANSARD. I believe that is fair enough. If they can be expunged, let us not push for apologies, as we are now dealing with brittle egos. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge you to direct and take control of this House, so that we can focus on the Cabinet Secretary rather than ourselves. Please, let this House remain the ‘Upper House’ and a House of decorum."
