Senator Bacik stated earlier that she and her colleagues had listened in dignified and respectful silence. At the point when she said that, it was mostly true. There had been just a few eruptions over the preceding days. However, there have been more eruptions in the past few minutes, as we are coming to the end of this debate, than there were in all of our debates up to now. I have just one more substantial amendment to present to the House. We are coming to the end of the debate on this far-reaching legislation. I appeal for respect. I am very happy to stand corrected, as I did on a point of legislative detail when it was pointed out by Senator Bacik. I wish other people had been as open to the errors and flaws in their arguments and their legislation. I have repeatedly pointed out those errors and flaws over the past couple of days. I would like to think I have set a standard.
