"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to oppose this because gender issues are not small matters that can be thrown into a corner and become a desk issue. It is a whole ministry thing. So, when a commission is set for it, let it be a commission that deals with gender issues most effectively. Gender issues are not minor issues. It can neither be merged with another, nor can it be made a small department within another commission. We are missing the boat. We cannot merge this. We have successfully managed gender-based issues. Up to now, we have done our best, but we still have a lot of weaknesses. Therefore, if you bring it into another commission, you merge and collapse it with others into one, it will disappear. We will not see the results of what we have done, nor see what we are going to do in future. I object to the merger of the two commissions simply because issues will not be addressed effectively as we have done in the past. So, like everybody else or most people and contributors in this House, I oppose vehemently. Thank you."
