    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute. I do not support this Motion. I oppose it on the grounds that the Committee of this House did not do a good job. They just followed blindly what was recommended by the panel. They should have corrected the report before it was brought to this House. If we are going to really follow merit, even when you look at the original balance, you get the best and maybe later you can see how to correct it and not to drop somebody who is number one; they should have taken those who were qualified to do a better job. I think there was no good job done in this. I think the Committee of this House needs to learn a lesson from this. We need to reject this report so that the Committee can do a better job in future. Although the gender rule has been suspended and we say it is progressive, still it is time we started using it. Where we have women doing well in the interviews, they should be given opportunities. She should have been appointed as one of the nominees to this commission. A shoddy job was done here and I think we have a duty to correct what was done wrong. It is out responsibility to do that. With those few remarks, I oppose."
