I ask the Leader and the Chair to ensure Committee Stage debate is a reasoned, proper and rational discussion. We all accept and agree that there are principled issues to be discussed but let us not have Senators speak in a self-indulgent manner for the sake of it. Having had eight hours of discussion on Committee Stage yesterday, we will resume the debate at 2 p.m. Let us have a debate of which the House can be proud, as has been the case with regard to debates on many different issues.
