Okay, so before you became chief science advisor, you were a molecular geneticist by training, right? So, so you know a thing or two about X and Y chromosome. So I wanted to ask you, what is the definition of a woman? Point of order, Chair. Point of order. Yes, MP Danko. It is Pride Month and understanding Order 18, which prohibits personal attacks, insults, and offensive language. The accusation, the, the, the, where this question is going. This is getting into debate. This is getting into debate. I asked the member to withdraw his comments. MP Danko. This is getting into debate. What is a man or a woman? It's highly offensive. I will deal with it. MP Ho, I would request to be respectful of everybody. Yeah, please. MP Ho. Well, yeah, thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair, resuming. The census asked that question. You know, what is your gender? What is your sex? So I just want to understand what your view is on this. Point of order, Madam Chair. The witness is here in her capacities of the Chief Science Advisor. Her opinion on whether, her opinion on any matter as an individual is actually not relevant to her mandate. And so if the question is within the scope of his mandate, her mandate, I would be interested to see if Mr. Ho could reframe the question, if he so wishes, within the context of her mandate as the Chief Science Advisor. In these grant applications, it always asks... MP Ho, just one second. I hope you will frame your questions around what the purpose of this study is today. Thank you. MP Ho, go ahead. I'm getting to that, so I just want to hear the answer. Madam Chair, if... I'm going to ask this because the NRC President last week... Sorry for interrupting. She's trying to answer you. Yes, we have stopped the clock. She's trying to answer your question, so let her answer. Can I see how much time I have left? I've been interrupted. One minute and 47 seconds. All right. From genetically speaking, we define female as, in the animal kingdom, as someone with 2X chromosome. So, I guess I ask this because when we had the NRC President here last week on this committee, and he seems to think that the definition of a woman is just a checkbox. So, I just want to get some clarity on that, so thank you. Thank you for that. And it's important because, you know, we have events, like you had an event, you were attending an event back in February about the success of women in STEM. It's important that we know what the definition of a woman would be because we're celebrating the achievements of women in STEM.
