I do not wish to waste the time of the parliament. I'm discussing it here with the Leader of the Opposition, and they are going to take an initiative which I will, of course, very strongly back. But I think it's a suspension of democracy if this House is not allowed to debate this matter. To allow this mob to have their say without anyone on the other side being allowed to speak, that's very undemocratic and I will very strongly back the opposition—not on other things but on this manner.
