On my behalf and on behalf of my fellow Senators, I welcome Mr. Jim Higgins, MEP, for the North-West constituency, who was elected to the European Parliament in 2004. I wish Mr. Higgins well in his role and I wish him continued success in his work in the European Parliament. It is a great honour and pleasure to welcome Mr. Higgins, who will now address the House.
