Thank you, Senator Colbeck, for your comments. What I would say to you is that, in relation to the gallery the other day, I called them to order three times, and it was on the third occasion that I threatened to have them removed. With the current gallery, I called them to order twice, and on the second occasion they came to order. I would like to think that I am very fair and impartial at all times. Certainly, in the gallery the other day, on the third occasion, I threatened to have them removed because as President of this place I should not have to do it three times, whether it's in the chamber or in the gallery. So I thank you for your comments.
