Netherlands abandoning multiculturalism

A new integration bill (covering letter and 15-page action plan), which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: "The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society."
I'm for it, but concerned about the fact that "the values of a Dutch society" may be hard to define after that society has been deformed by multiculturalism.
