MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I'd just note to our guests in the gallery today that you can neither respond favourably or negatively to any of the activity on the floor of the House during its proceedings.

THE SPEAKER: Order. I apologize. There's a phone on.

I ask that everyone up in the viewing area please make sure your phones are turned off.

THE SPEAKER: Order. Order. There are no pictures to be taken from the gallery. I ask that anyone in the gallery please put their phones away and not be used.

THE SPEAKER: Order. I ask that all members of the Gallery not take pictures. Thank you. My apologies. The clock was stopped.

MR. SPEAKER: Before the minister answers that, you cannot applaud or show either affirmative or negative to any discussion on the floor.

HON. DEREK MOMBOURQUETTE: I see someone in the gallery, Speaker. I'm going to ask for an introduction from the Leader.

THE SPEAKER « » : Just a reminder that you're to speak to the Speaker. You're not allowed to recognize people in the gallery. It's a procedural thing. (Interruptions)

SUSAN LEBLANC: Speaker, I rise on a point of personal privilege. The Premier's language and tactics directed at the Leader of the NDP in Question Period were unacceptable. They directly questioned the integrity of the Leader of the NDP. Earlier today, you told us - you reminded us twice - that this was not allowed.

The Premier's comments that the Leader of the NDP is negative and whiny and hates Nova Scotians comes directly from the misogynist playbook, which could also be titled . . .

THE SPEAKER: Order, please. The member for Dartmouth North has the floor.

MR. SPEAKER: Excuse me. Hold on a second. Kenny, can you go see that camera guy up there in the gallery? He's shooting people in the gallery up there.

MR. SPEAKER: Just a reminder to all members, if you are looking for permission to do an introduction, you must request permission first from the Speaker.

THE SPEAKER: Before we can continue, I want to remind those in the gallery that due to the rules, we are not allowed to clap. I know there's so much to cheer for and be thankful for, but I do have to follow the rules, so I ask that you not clap. Thank you.
