 గానరీనివి నిఫాలీలాన పారెనికొనినింకం గ్లిమునిలా కాయ్లీటనంట్ కిఎయ్లిానిదధండికానిరెనికికికికొకినింట౏ నిమానిటనాయిదానిక business and my political life at all levels even when I was a government minister women as my poor men, secondary etc. and I always took a firm stand against sexual harassment that as I've always said that people have their choices and whereas you can't be a moral police you must ensure that in a workplace it's free from sexual harassment I've been very firm on that minister and I continue to maintain that sexual harassment is an offence Choices are different from harassment and I hope that someday in the parliament you probably can have some legislation or something that will really the issue of sexual harassment because too many young girls and ladies are faced with the dilemma of saying yes or losing their job that has to stop Mr Speaker people must say yes when they want I am not in no position to judge when people must say yes or no but the idea of being yes, saying yes is a consequence of your future Mr Speaker is something that must stop and I hope that whereas we do not pretend to be too prudish as some of us pretend to be Mr Speaker we must take a strong position on sexual harassment a very strong position Mr Speaker so I want to congratulate the president of the senate who has been pushing this motion she almost threatened me that if I didn't put it out I would suffer the consequences and so I had to ensure that the leader of government business caused the motion to be tabled I am very pleased, I am sure all of us are pleased that this motion is on the table All I want to do is to congratulate the people who got involved in the charter I know there are charters in Trinidad there are charters in as far as Pakistan and I hope that the charter can grow I am not going to remain a talk shop and you can deal with the reality of life and talking to young girls etc and let's try to get involved in things that are unrealistic and things that we just dream of let's deal with the reality what really happens with young girls and young women to advance themselves the value of education the value of themselves how important they are to the human race and not anything, things that are not really practical or real so I want to congratulate you and you can expect the full support of the government and the full support of the prime minister I thank you Mr Speaker
