Chairperson, let me start by saying that Cope supports the Budget Vote. However, this department must be seen as the key catalyst in optimally managing this property portfolio in terms of the revenue generation of the state. Controversial leasing agreements, which prove more costly than ownership options, must come to an end. Cope will monitor the department's turnaround strategy, as pronounced by the Minister - we were here; we listened - to ensure that various milestones are achieved. Thank you, Chair.
