• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I believe that this House has gone through a lot of tension. We are going through trying times. Even when you watch cooking going on in the house, there is a time that you need to lift the lid for the pot to simmer and for the food to cook properly. I believe that we are at that kind of point.
