"You can see knowledge and commitment being displayed during your debates.
"Sometimes, tempers may rise but the ability to control situations is the hallmark of democracy; I want to commend the House for doing a good job.
"I think you have a unique advantage which we never had. While we were analogue, you are IT- compliant.
