The Chairman is encouraging me. I wish to refer to two things. I repeat what I said yesterday. I believe that the people who tabled these amendments to the Bill did so in good faith. I do not think they constructed the amendments. I have no doubt about that. I believe they were constructed by other people with other agendas. We need to know and acknowledge that. A deep distrust of women emanates from what is before us. It is as though one has to watch women. We have to be careful of what they might do when they are let off on their own. That is what the agenda says.
