Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to speak in support of the Honourable Manitok Thompson, Minister responsible for Women's Directorate. In recognition of the importance of a national day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, which will be commemorated on Sunday, 6th of December. Mr. Speaker, in the time that I have served in this Legislature, I have known of two occasions where female Members of Cabinet have been assaulted during their time of service, unreported but acknowledged, at least on my part. My mother, who is over 70, two years ago was assaulted. Mr. Speaker, I have a very strong vested interest in wishing everyone would adhere to zero tolerance on violence against women. Thank you.

--Applause
