Thank you, thank you so much.

I believe on this occasion, I must first of all address the members of the Congress of the People who are here today. I know that, 3 years ago, when we embarked on this journey, it was a journey that we knew little about. I knew that there was some darkness ahead of us. But what you can say today, in the three years of the existence of the COP, there has never been a dull moment for you.

The time has come when we, once more, will be embarking on a new discovery in the politics of our country. It is the discovery that will bring the sense of salvation to our people. We started the road to seek a new freedom. We knew that our nation was imprisoned by the politics of the past. We knew that there were great hurdles to overcome, but we knew that we had to search for that freedom. Tonight I feel proud that I am seeing that freedom emerging in Trinidad and Tobago. And as I sit on this platform and listen to my colleagues, listen to David Abdullah, listen to Vasant Bharath, listen to Fuad Khan, and listen to your new member of parliament for St Augustine, Mr Prakash Ramadhar, I say to you that the new freedom is here.
