Permit me to begin by extending my congratulations to the newly elected President of the Senate and to the newly elected Speaker of the House. This is a tremendously proud moment for you, and for your families, and I join the Parliament and the rest of the country in wishing you both well, in your new and important roles.
I also extend warmest greetings to the distinguished Prime Minister and Chief Justice of Barbados, who have been kind enough to accept the invitation of the new Government of Trinidad and Tobago to share with us the experience of this memorable occasion.
Permit me, as well, to congratulate, once again, the newly elected government on your recent success at the polls. You have earned an overwhelming majority in the Parliament and, with it, the responsibility to use your significant mandate, wisely and judiciously. Special congratulations to the Honourable Prime Minister, on your historic return to that position, and on being the only female ever to have held it.
