    "content": "I think the number of women may be slightly more than that of men. Given those statistics, one wonders why the majority should be so under-represented. There are compelling reasons for us to go that direction. I listened to lawyers, including my friend Hon. Neto, who pointed out certain areas that might need to be cleaned up. It is important that, that is done. We do not want to pass a law that will be difficult to implement or to interpret. We have been talking about the elective positions, which are more challenging. I do not know why we have not achieved the target when it comes to appointive positions and yet, that is an area which is less challenging. I am talking about Cabinet, senior government and corporate positions. The spirit of the two-third gender principle should be taken on board and implemented in all sectors. If we attain that, it will speak of our maturity as a society. In any case, quite a number of women who were elected to this 11th Parliament have done a fairly good job. I believe that those who are going to be elected this time round will also do a good job. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Bill."
