Mr. Speaker, in some cases, like the one I mentioned about judges, yes, I propose that in future at least 80 per cent of the judgeships that become open be filled by women. You can call that a quota, although I hate the term, but it can certainly be used.
In other cases, of course, if the same number of people apply for a position, the qualifications of each applicant can certainly be evaluated, as one should always do.
We have always been given the following objection: "Oh, you want to favour women, but you do not want them to be as competent as men". Unfortunately, I am often inclined to say "as competent as males", because I find using that kind of argument very sexist. Of course women are as competent as men, in all fields.
