I have seen many new legislations and literature particularly when it comes to international matters. The move is to drift away from using “Chairman” in almost all documentations. I do not know if you would want us to vote on a small matter like this; whether to use “Chairman” or “Chairperson.” I propose that we go by the findings of the Committee because we interrogated this matter not as an individual but as a Committee. We had public participation to that effect. We listened to feelings and sentiments of many contributors. I would like to convince my colleagues, including, the Senate Minority Leader. I do not think this would dilute the content of the Bill if we recognise the gender issue."}
