As we look to resolve our issues for the future, the blame game will not solve it for us. It is about finding solutions to difficult problems. That is much more challenging and requires much more deep thought than we often have in the other House. In this House, maybe it is because it is built on the flat.

I thank the Senators for the contributions. We have created a moment of opportunity for ourselves. That is not to forget the difficult road we have travelled and the many who have been hurt on that road. However, there is a period of opportunity or a new phase ahead of us. We must seize that opportunity and put in place the right policies that will sustain us on that road, which can deliver so much of the aspirations of the people.
