"content": "If they think they can insult this House--- Can I say this? I am sorry about this, but it is my business to put my foot down and preserve the integrity and honour of this institution. Let me also tell you that I am ready to deal with all comers, whether inside or outside the House. If you insult this House, this House has the right to pass any law! Once passed, you must obey it because that is the law, unless you have an idea that you have become a parliament unto yourself. I hope that will never come to pass, because it will be the beginning of anarchy. So, I hope everybody will play their part right. I have instructed the Clerk of the National Assembly to prepare the report of the Committee, which it gave this afternoon, and bring it to the House. In fact, it is only for lack of time, because if we had sufficient time between the Clerk of the National Assembly receiving the report and the Sitting of the House, that report would have been laid on the Table today. It will be laid on the Table on Tuesday next week. But let this House not be used as an excuse for what you fail to do. You must respect this House! I hope the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs will help me in this regard. I do not want people to assault this Parliament, particularly people who are created by this Parliament or who need it to transact their business! Thank you! October 4, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4351"
