Sir, as we embark on these developments, I would
like to pay tribute to all the members of OMELCO who have
involved themselves in discussions of these issues. Their
enthusiasm in encouraging public debate on the pace of
constitutional change and their personal contributions to
that debate have been of enormous assistance in preparing
the way forward.

It remains only to say that we plan to make a
success of 1991. We look forward to a warm public response
in registering to vote, in putting forward candidates for
election, and in turning out to vote on the day.
And I am
confident that the council which convenes in this chamber
in October 1991 will provide a firm foundation on which to
base future development of our democratic system.
