Thank you, Minister.

Although we all completely agree with the principle of equal pay, I do have a question that I was not expecting to have to ask.

I understand the principle of equal pay, but what about the capacity for equal participation in decision-making, especially for women? How do we ensure that women have equal access to decision-making positions? How do we ensure that there is parity in decision-making and policy positions in government?

When you speak about equal pay, how do we have access to the same equal opportunities?
