    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Although I wanted to stand on a point of order, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I want to say that I am utterly appalled by the remarks by the Majority Leader. If you look at the issues he is talking about in relation to Ms. Kandie, he is brave enough to stand before us and tell us that there were no issues of integrity and there were no issues touching on her that would make them reject her. My concern is that it is unconstitutional. I will take it upon myself, as one of the framers of the Constitution, to teach him about what the constitutional standards in relation to gender equality and non-discrimination entail. I also just want to say that this House cannot further the culture of discriminating against women. There are candidates here who had issues touching on them in relation to integrity and, nothing has been said about them. But when it is a woman, the only thing you do is face backwards and then you are rejected; or, that you look at people with funny eyes."
