DEPUTY PRESIDENT. I AM SURE THAT ALL MEMBERS WILL JOIN WITH ME IN
WELCOMING HIM TO HIS NEW POST AND IN WISHING HIM WELL.
16. THE WORK OF THIS COUNCIL HAS IN THE PAST BEEN CHARACTERISED
BY A SPIRIT OF PRAGMATISM AND A RESPECT FOR THE VIEWS OF OTHERS.
WE MUST RETAIN THESE TRADITIONS OF TOLERANCE, COMMON SENSE AND HONEST DEBATE. THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG WILL BEST BE SERVED BY A LEGCO WHICH FOCUSES ON ISSUES, DECISIONS AND, WHERE POSSIBLE, CONSENSUS.
