In the year 2004 Minister Manuel was given another challenge, an even a better one, a challenge that would make sure that we would continue to refer to him after he was long gone - he participated in putting together the country's blueprint for the future. This is a blueprint that has enjoyed universal support in this Parliament. It has been largely endorsed and provides another framework and pillar on our journey toward achieving the ideal of a democratic, nonracial, nonsexist and prosperous society.
