At a recent meeting of the parliament's Standing Committee on Science and Research, conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Vincent Ho asked, 'What is the definition of a woman?'
The simple question immediately sparked outrage with other members of the committee, who jumped down Ho's throat and attempted to prevent Chief Science Advisor Mona Nemer from replying.
Ho asked the scientist: 'Before you became chief science advisor, you were a molecular geneticist by training, right? So you know a thing or two about X and Y chromosomes. So, I wanted to ask you, what is the definition of a woman?'
Immediately, Liberal Party of Canada MP John-Paul Danko took issue with the question and said: 'Point of order, chair. Point of order.'
'It is pride month, in understanding Order 18, which prohibits personal attacks, insults and offensive language,' Danko continued, before Committee Chair Salma Zahid interrupted him and said: 'This is getting into debate.'
Undeterred, Danko raised his voice and said, 'Where this question is going is highly offensive. Highly offensive. I ask the member to withdraw his comments.'
The conservative MP explained that he was asking the question because the Census asks people to state their gender and sex, and he wanted to understand the chief science advisor's 'view on this.'
Another Liberal Party of Canada MP, Taleeb Noormohamed, then also raised a point of order and said: 'The witness is here in her capacity as the chief science advisor.
'Her opinion on any matter as an individual is actually not relevant to her mandate.
Zahid accepted the point of order and asked Ho to reframe his question, to which the conservative MP replied, 'I just want to hear the answer.'
After a bit more back and forth, Nemer, the chief science advisor, was finally able to answer Ho's question.

We require more apologies!!
personal attacks, insults and offensive language
That’s all I ever get from Wokesters
She says that “’Genetically speaking, we define female as, in the animal kingdom, as someone with two X chromosomes,’
IMO, the correct answer is that a woman is a female (girl) who has reached adulthood....and ask any 3 year old which of his/her playmates are boys and girls, and the child instinctively knows.
Would a marine biologist do?
Simple!
XX=woman
XY=man.
Anything else should be in a circus side show next to the six legged cow and tattooed fat lady fire eater.
