Order! These are serious matters. I've said that over and over again. I am being fair across the chamber. I want the questions asked in silence and I want the answers responded to in silence. It is legitimate to call points of order, but it is not legitimate to keep calling out across the chamber, and I think it's not fair to make me the arbiter of your behaviour. You're in control of whether you shout out or not, and I will keep sitting the minister down and drawing it to the chamber's attention. I'm asking you to listen in respectful silence—from both sides of the chamber. I don't think that is an outrageous ask. Minister, please continue.
