I will discuss the issue with the President. I think those who are watching or listening to the broadcast will make their own judgments as to what took place. I do not believe that there was any breach of standing orders because we already have time limits on the asking of questions, and how senators choose to speak is not something that is covered in standing orders. I think it is a matter we will reflect on and I will certainly discuss it with the President.
