But all campaigns, by definitior, ere siand an etwasing a decizion; when the point of decision comes, in any deme yakin nekaty, the view of the majority must be accepted and respected.

Sir, I suggest that time has come,

Sir, llong Kong has not built its success on lonklag bagkwerds or regretting what might have been. We are a forward looking mouity in a forward looking place. In terms of our political development wy have plenty to play for in the future. I believe Misa Dunn struck e chand, not only in this Chamber, but alan in the communito when she Beid yesterday that we owe it to the people of Hong Kong to work together for the future well-being of us all. We have much to do. have no time for regrets..

Sir, I oppose the amendment proposed by 10 Lee.
