Members, I find it hard to hear the speaker when people are talking in this room. I ask Senators to leave if they want to talk. It is not fair and it is happening day in, day out. The same people are constantly talking. In fact, yesterday I spotted a Member in the corner on a telephone. That is not allowed in the Chamber. If a Member wishes to make a telephone call or speak to another colleague, please go out to the ante-room. I am sorry for interrupting you, Senator.
