Well, that's a shame, not just because of your gender, but because of what you would bring to the work we do.
Madam Clerk, it looks as though there's an awful lot riding on your shoulders to make sure it's looking good for the other half of the population. It's not very well represented here, and we might want to speak to our whips about that, because that's not the best thing.
I'll afford an opportunity for anybody who'd like to say something before we adjourn.
Mr. Simms, you have the floor, sir.
