    "content": "decade ago; we began having this gender consciousness where we said that if it is our cabinet, it should not have more than two thirds from either gender. The truth of the matter is that the gender that we are trying to protect is the women. I do not see why we should disenfranchise this council if we get to a point where we have two extremely brilliant women who both qualify to be chairperson and vice- chairperson. Why should we deny them an opportunity yet for the last 40 years, we were so comfortable having boards that were chaired by men alone. It is extremely wrong for us to say that the chairperson and vice-chairperson should always be from the opposite gender. We should say that they can come from either gender. However, if both are women, there is no problem about it. That is my thinking. With regard to the Bills that will come before this House, I will continue to raise that point until a time when it will be accepted. In fact, if any of the Bills that I am working on should have a council or a board, as a drafter, I will put that provision. That will help us see those who will oppose it then we can know the enemies of women in this House."
