If the member for Albany wants to talk about a spectator, I refer him to his colleagues on that side of the house who opposed royalties for regions for years and years. This government is putting that into place. If the member for Albany wants to catch up, he may want to start publicly supporting the program. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Some members in this place need to observe the procedure in this place. When a member in this place has finished answering a question and sits down, it is not then their opportunity to yell and scream at members in this place.
