It cannot be compromised. Members of this House must be able to debate, express themselves and say what they think is their opinion without any interference and without fear. That must be how we debate and how members feel. Sen. Linturi was with us here in the morning. He made the contributions he made then and we have just been informed by Sen.

• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. Let me finish. Any member is free. I volunteered to go and find out. What I am firmly saying is, as far as we are concerned and as a Senator in this House, it is completely wrong for any member of this House to conduct his business looking behind his back in fear. That is absolutely what you were saying. No one should imagine that for any one reason, we would condone that kind of thing. view
