"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I apologise, my card was not available. The point of order that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has raised is of critical importance. I do not know any other institution in this Republic that starts its sitting on time, not even the courts. I have been very proud of this institution, that when it says that sittings begin at 2.30 p.m. and the bell rings five minutes to 2.30 p.m., that proceedings always start at 2.30 p.m. When we used to meet at 9.00 a.m., proceedings would start at 9.00 a.m. That notwithstanding, under Standing Order No.30, there is an opportunity to address what has happened today subject to your directions. We may meet later than 2.30 p.m. However, I am not aware of any directions as to why the sitting started beyond 2.30 p.m. That is for the dignity and decorum of this House, which should be an example to all other institutions. If I did not get information that was dealt with on this issue, I The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
