So, I wish to comment about what the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research has answered. I am a bit worried when he gives the process the Ministry uses.

I know even with the help of assistant chiefs, through the provincial administration, sanitary towels can be availed in primary or secondary schools nearby and the girls can be told when to pick them.

Hon. Speaker, I want to appreciate that this is an important matter. As a Chair of a Committee, I have the experience of the limitation of Members who can attend a specific committee meeting. I would like to call upon the Clerk, maybe you and the management of this House, to ensure that Members are able to follow meetings online. Yesterday, the Committee I chair held a meeting using Zoom. The Members were at home and wanted to interact with the Cabinet Secretary participated. That is my request. Even if the Chair says Tuesday, not all of us will be ...
