Because of the time constraints, unfortunately, we do not have much of an opportunity at this point to welcome both Deputies from the different sides of the House. However, there will be other opportunities at a later date. I know I speak on everybody's behalf when we recognise it is a very special day for both Deputies to be elected to this House. I wish them both every success and happiness while they are here, and I hope they make a major contribution to the workings of the House and its committees.
