Madam Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. Would you please draw the speaker’s attention to the motion before the chamber, which is about sitting hours? This minister is debating the legislation that we are extending the sitting hours for. He is filibustering to stop us getting on to that legislation. So would you draw his attention to the motion before the chair and ask him to be relevant to the motion rather than debating the issue that is going to be debated later.
