Before I ask the Minister of State to make his concluding remarks, I congratulate him on his elevation to the office he now holds. In the short time I have known him I have found him to be a fine public representative, a hard worker and a man of integrity. I wish him many years of good luck in his role, although I suppose not too many, as we hope to be back some day ourselves. For the period he is in office I wish many years of health and happiness in his role.
