Speaker, I think the answers that I have given today indicate which measures we are trying to implement as government, to ensure that everybody participates in ensuring that we do not marginalise people with disabilities. That is what we will do. That is why I am talking about the convention so much, to ensure that all of us appreciate it, and therefore the next step is to implement it. We will continue to do so, as I have said. We will continue to preach to those who take time to hear and to reach those, as far as possible, who might miss the opportunity to hear when we say this. We will certainly do that. Thank you. [Applause.]
