The member for Herbert will resume his seat. I can assure members of the House that I could not give a continental what they think of me as an individual, but I would have hoped that the position of chair could attract some degree of respect. I find it amazing that, in giving a considered answer about matters to do with the administration of this place, the chair was subjected to interjections and the matter has led to this sort of behaviour. If the honourable member for Herbert is seeking, as I hope, to add and assist the chair, because he was present at the meetings of POITAG, I will give him indulgence.
