¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I am on my feet. I am asking for a minute to raise a point of order. Please, give me a minute. Hon. Leader of the House, I am on my feet asking for a point of order. [Interruption.]

¶ 02 Hon. Presiding Member, I am speaking to you. I want to raise a point of order. Can you not see me, Sir? Are you blind?
