 Thank you very much Mr. Speaker for allowing me to make just a brief intervention on this motion that is before us. Mr. Speaker I would like to to reference my contribution on the basis of the Standing Orders, the book that was given to us even during the time when I entered the Senate. And of course there was a school of thought that indicated that this is not this is not adequate. And there was a time when I believe that the Standing Orders was inadequate based on the behaviors that I witnessed in Parliament. But I've come to realize that there is a school of thought also that beyond a set of rules to govern behavior, there's what you call character. And I think when we speak of what transpires within this Parliament, there's a lot that have to do with character. Because Mr. Speaker, as the member for Central Castries goes on the point that there are rules and laws governing every aspect of human interventions and behavior and living. In fact, our very body are governed by certain health laws. And when we do not subscribe to proper health laws, we pay for it. In fact, I can make reference to the scripture in Exodus 21 where if two men were fighting and Moses had a law that if one of them hit a pregnant woman and she had given both prematurely, the husband could ask for whatever he wants from them and he must pay. There were laws in biblical times. And of course the member for Grosily would agree with me that you can't participate in sports without adhering to laws. You couldn't play cricket without having the empire to administer and even the square leg empire. Of course you may have some right to appeal to some decisions but of course there is a third empire that will govern on that decision. There are there are laws. What is troubling to me Mr. Speaker is that we expect sports people, the men on the field, to accept the red card when the referee issue a red card on the field and to walk out and be civilized about and understand the sports. We expect that even when a cricketer is actually placed out by the empire and he feels that he is treated unfairly, we expect him, we expect these sports people to behave well and subscribe to the rules of the games but in the highest room of the land in a parliament because you are not totally happy you can leash out insults. Mr. Speaker I believe for some things that this is inadequate because there are quite a bit that is said below the mic that is not captured and sometimes I'm asking myself are you hearing but persons would go out into the media and give a different look up to how things are. So for example the member from Mikut South could say to me under the mic that if he sees me in a church he will run but he goes to the media and cry but he doesn't know how my children cried when I shared with them what he said. This is about character. This doesn't answer everything. You see if we do not embark on the right conversation if we do not less a discussion it doesn't matter our gains in GDP and other fiscal indicators showing well we will not go very far Mr. Speaker and I believe that the public expects us to conduct ourselves and to have a conversation that ties in with the progress that we are making in other aspect of our development. Mr. Speaker I've heard the term non-entity and it hit me to the core because it was the person who was referred to as a non- entity is a daughter of a recognized business person. But what's about this son of an employee of Castry City Council my father and a mother of domestic worker who's all calls and who I had to carry people's laundry on my head to my home to wash water my and below a non-entity if this person was a non- entity Mr. Speaker recently there I heard persons referred to as success success voters mr. Speaker as it relates to these terms success you know one word also tell people look your mother man no mama that was used by politicians a cabinet of criminals jackass mendicant and even implied that some single murders are really given both to criminals these things have been allowed and sometimes we laugh but there is character associated with this thing and I take personal especially personally when I heard the term Susabian news why all people did not invent politics as it is today we were given this system to govern and we participate in it we vote some people choose to change where they vote for one reason or the other but here's a politician who has given three terms he has secured what I call social insurance because he's now get he'll get a pension for the rest of his life he has received gratuities or whatever it is but the one who called the person to say at three right three terms he has a pension for life the people who voted for him to give him three terms had nothing but as they try to get free five etch it's applied from an apartment from a power rep who is now in power they are called success people are people do not owe me a vote people have a right to vote where they want to this character thing is about it's very important in the discussion of development mr. speaker and I believe mr. speaker that the hypocrisy associated with representation must come to not our year must be in our name has been a you cannot and say you concern about the people you cannot issue pleasantries of accept my sympathy to me but below the mic you're going to tell me that if you see me in a church you're going to run and you know it's hurtful you will not say it in the mic you will not say it in the media but then you will march today about democracy mr. speaker I've come to realize and appreciate that even my grief and my sadness is more comforting than pleasantries from hypocrites and some people ask me why I'm sad because it provides more comfort than some persons who offer pleasantries in public mr. speaker when I lost the election in 2016 I was happier than when I won this time because the situation was different I am blessed even today that the prime minister leader of opposition then placed me in the Senate with three thousand one hundred and sixty nine votes I lost I had a spirit my head was a pie I felt I was a champion and to add it he made me leader in the Senate what more I was the happiest person this time I won I got more votes but I suffered based on what transpired and everybody know what happened during the selection remember I share your grief but there is a motion before you yes I'm speaking to this motion I'm coming to it and this is why I'm making the point mr. speaker as you go through this in this very house while you are grieving the member from Mikud under the mic the last time the prime minister had to tell him that you telling the man that you telling the man I never responded because I vow very early after was made a senator and the prime minister great with me I said to the to the other younger parliamentarians when we come in this house let us not do like what the former parliamentarians going after senior politicians like the member for Mikud south and for view for south leave these individuals that the former the prime minister to other prime ministers I was expecting to come in the house and to to benefit from the exchanges between four prime ministers in this parliament not that of former prime minister without I have never said nothing to him under the mic attacking me but the standing orders allow him to do that so is this inadequate shouldn't the standing orders have persons not say introducing a politician as me normal mouth should understanding orders deal with call I'm deal with calling people to say voters sons and daughters should understanding orders deal with calling referring to somebody as a non-entity but I'll say this mr. speaker as I take my seat I've said to persons who have served even last week a young lady I I approve 8 sheets of plywood to a single murder for and mr. speak I had I had to take the courage and say to you when you walk through the streets of castries as you leave my office water front I want you to keep your head up high because there are some people who have a lot more than you but they had a different start than we had and I said to her because I remember the term non-entity and I know where I come from and I said to her this is from taxpayers this is from the government this is not from my pocket leave her and feel good and any one of them you meet in the streets of castries that are that that of a certain complexion of that money or their own businesses make sure you don't bow keep your head up high and walk well and I told Nashida tears I'm on on last week I had to tell her that because I feel that in this parliament the same subtle attitude that we some of us ought not to be here some of us do not belong here I experienced it even in this parliament it is not in the mic you do not get it in the mic it is subtle and that deception goes into the media for the rest of send russians and the same people who parade the streets this morning are the ones that have been called susses because if any one of them come and receive a cheap supply would from me the very people who want to lead them and represent them have been called susses I do hope that Mrs. Speaker as we continue in this parliament that we will find the courage and we'll find a where we fall to even look at our standing orders I personally believe that I should not be referred to as a criminal because the member for me could self have an issue with a land transaction I personally believe that an apology is adequate and I withdraw that statement is adequate for him to have gone to the court and use the means of the court again I see the principle of the lack of social justice as the court has taken a position in real social justice he stand high and to whom much is given much is expected and to ask of an apology is very little in that regard and for the court to have suggested I will abide by the principles of the court and I will be guided by the leader of government business but I think the position of an apology or withdrawal of the statement is very little Mr. Speaker have done wrong and I would stand any day on withdraw a statement made that's inappropriate and I've seen other members of this side do it and there are times it's not even called for even the prime minister who sits above all of us has sometimes says if I'm wrong I'm prepared to take it in when he's making his contribution that humility that humility has been trumped on that humility has not been appreciated on this side as a matter of fact what is happening is that the member from me could is using the situation by he being alone and is compensating by doing insults and therefore it's easier to be accepted so then it will appear that he's alone so because he's one person he is compensating by doing this to a half his way this is what is at stake at this point in time the member is not serious about being in the parliament the member is not serious about anything because if he was that serious he would not just send me flowers and then come and laugh at my hurt in parliament under the mic or send presentries that's hurtful that is hurtful
