Jacqui, I'm very sorry to see you go. I must say that within the short time I have known you that you welcomed me to the Senate. You encouraged me in those days when I didn't have a clue what to do around here. Your door was always open, even for those silly questions! You never thought anything was too small to ask or to advise me on.

So, I know that you're not gone; I know you're just changing the venues from which you are working, and the mode. Maybe this is an opportunity for you to step back, take a break and come back as stronger Jacqui. So, we will miss you, we will continue to consult you and I'm so sure we still have you. Thank you, and all the best for what lies ahead.
