Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said, it was unfortunate that we never had daughters to teach and enjoy as a family. But we are fortunate to have three sons. We always live with the consolation that soon we are going to have three daughters-in-law to add to the long list of female influence in my life.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to conclude by saying the same thing that I said last year at this time. I said, we should just make time and recognize women not only one day of the year, but I think we need to give the recognition that they deserve every day of the year. With that, I salute International Women's Day.
