Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to challenge your clarification but it may appear to the audience out there that the reason why Sen.

I do not want the impression that---

(Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the point raised by the Senate Minority Leader. At the very least, when a Senator is a Mover of a Bill or Motion that is in the Order Paper, the Senator owes the Chair an explanation and leave if they will not be there. It is the only way to show dignity to this House. I would actually suggest that if possible, the Speaker could consider giving a specific ruling on this issue of Senators sneaking out when their Bills are in the Order Paper without the permission of the Chair.

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Majority Leader, the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) and the Senate for approving my nomination to sit in the Energy Committee.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sorry for interrupting the Senate Minority Leader.

This is because we also have to protect our dignity so that we do not appear as if we are either trivializing what we are asking or even trying to ridicule other institutions. So, I do not know where that qualification ...
