Madam Chair, may I again thank the chairman of the appropriations committee as well as Ministers Manuel, Gordhan and Deputy Minister Nene, as well as chairperson Sogoni and fellow committee members for their collegiality, as well as the staff for their hard work. I will miss Parliament in general.
I bid you farewell with the words of civil libertarian P J O'Rourke, when he said that giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to your teenage boys. Remain vigilant therefore.
Returning members should ensure that their decisions, actions and general behaviour are of such a standard that the public out there maintains their faith in us as politicians and in Parliament as an institution. I thank you and bid you goodbye. [Applause.]
