I just need to say that an indulgence is granted to associate yourself with the remarks, not to add political commentary. I do give leeway. I gave leeway—

An honourable member interjecting

I won't tolerate people interjecting while I address the House—full stop. That is why, on an issue like this, I didn't ask the Prime Minister to resume his seat when the time expired. I just want to make that clear—that indulgence is granted on the basis that there's a compact, that it's to associate yourself with the remarks. And if that occurs continually, you'll be finding that indulgence will be much rarer.
