Order! Please resume your seat, Senator Whish-Wilson.

Government senators interjecting—

Order! That's it. Order! Seriously, I am asking people—please resume your seat, Senator Whish-Wilson. I was attempting to give you the silence you deserve to ask your question, and I was attempting to call those on my right to order. Heckling during questions is utterly disorderly.

Senator Whish-Wilson interjecting—

The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Whish-Wilson, please! I'm going to ask for the clock to be reset and Senator Whish-Wilson to commence his question. He has every right to be heard in silence.
