    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Sir, first, my congratulations on your election as Speaker of this Eleventh Parliament. There is substantive contention in this particular list. First of all, I will be opposing this list for a variety of reasons. We passed a Constitution that hopes that we entrench the gender rule on a third rule. To start on a footing of allowing the House Business Committee, the most important committee of the House, to go like this, it is not good. There is enough number of ladies, people who are capable of being in this committee. It is very dangerous for Members to start on this footing, not to respect the gender rule, yet it is this Eleventh Parliament which is hoping to achieve it. It is a dangerous precedent to set and if the ladies of the House can sit and have this pass, they will have themselves to blame. This should be opposed and we should make sure that this House Business Committee, however much we want to progressively achieve the rule, a third must be realized. I oppose the list."
