We have come a long way since Good Friday 1998. The two Governments are determined that the achievements of the past four years will not be squandered but maintained and developed. We now have, however, a challenge and an opportunity to finish the job. We must establish the political context that entrenches the peace and total equality which are at the heart of the Good Friday Agreement. Peace involves an end to the practice and culture of paramilitarism and equality demands an unambiguous and permanent acceptance of partnership politics and inclusive government. With the continued support of this House, that is the urgent and vital task the Government will be addressing in the weeks and months ahead.
