Another idea that would improve democracy would be to insist on respectful behaviour in the House of Commons. The existing leadership in the House could make a pact to obey the rules of the House. Those rules include that no interruptions are allowed when a member is speaking and that the minister’s answers must be responsive to the question. A zero-tolerance for heckling rule combined with answers that, at least, relate to the question, would vastly improve Canadians’ impressions of their government.
can't possibly be the Elizabeth May ranting at a turned off microphone at around 2:50 of this clip?

Wow Global Warming causes aids now?! She is so ridiculous I can't even listen to her.
