            I still think a great opportunity may have been lost in the lack of overlap between the Empires and the [European] Community.

            However, some opportunity may remain.  It is said that our entry into the Community is the end for the Commonwealth.  This need not be so.  It could mark a new strengthening for the Commonwealth, in association with the Francophonie and with the Community and its associates.  It depends how we approach things.
