And inside the Chambers, today's meeting was short but started off with the usual fireworks - shouts across rooms, insults hurled, and the Speaker of the House reminding them of the standing orders.
But this time it happened during the questions to ministers. Barrow posed three questions to three ministers but wasn't satisfied with any of their answers. He believes that if he should be concise with his questioning, they should do the same with their answers.
And it's during this question to Briceno - which asked why gas prices remain high despite prices falling globally - that the back and forth between them occurred.
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"The point I'm trying to make that the taxes we collect from diesel and fuel and so we're investing it in the economy. That is the result of what we're doing, so how- can you listen? Can you listen? Listen! Mesopotamia, I think I shouldn't even call you Leader of the Opposition because you're the Leader of Opposition of two, or one."
Speaker of the House
"I'm going to say this once and I won't repeat myself again. Leader of Opposition, Member for Mesopotamia. You don't get to ask and answer. You may want it to be answered in a certain manner, that is not your purview."
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"The point is that all the taxes that we collect collectively allow us to do what we're having today in this country. And that's the point I'm trying to make."
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"My question was not about prudent fiscal management. If the answer is keep the taxes high, keep then prices high on fuel because it pays for all of these then say that. I don't see the linkage."
Speaker of the House
"It's okay for you not to see the linkage. Member, Leader of Opposition, it's not difficult to appreciate what I'm trying to say, keep quiet while the other member is talking. It was done for you."
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"I think, who was it that talked about some silly pills one time?"
