Hon. Speaker, I am also concerned and I would like the Chair to respond when replying that the commissioners who served in this Commission--- I believe that the need to have institutional memory is very important; the former commissioners served for a three-year term and were given another one year.

He should give us more than three female commissioners in this new term.

With those few remarks, despite my concerns about the issue of Parliament becoming a recruiting agency, I think we need this commission more than dealing with technicalities; that should not slow down a major issue like considering the repercussions that arise due to lack of cohesion; we are seeing these, especially in volatile areas in this country.
