Chairperson, obviously, when we deal with the questions related to an alternative funding mechanism, we will also have to make an impact in terms of how the actual spending takes place. The issue of the majority of the municipalities generating their funding from the electricity sales is a concern to us. When we look at this challenge, the stakeholders will not be limited to talk only about it. We will have to talk about how we deal with all these challenges.
The hon member would remember that this approach of working towards a differentiated funding mechanism is also taking place at the same time as other transformations; for instance, in the area around the electricity distribution industry. Therefore, participants will not only be limited to the issue of generating funding from electricity sales. Thank you very much.
