And, finally, I have to end with an appeal. We now have in

the White Paper a system of government with which most of

the community will agree, or at the very least, with which

most of the community will not disagree. Once the system

has been adopted and the process of change outlined in the

White Paper has begun, let us all work together with goodwill

and dedication to carry out successfully the task of moulding

a system of government, which will protect and promote our

vital interests. It is certainly within our capacity to do

so.

Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
