Chairperson, the aim of this Bill is to expand the availability and affordability of access to electronic communications. The ACDP welcomes this expansion to the people, particularly in underdeveloped and underserviced areas of our nation, and we are pleased to note that this will also increase the affordability of these services.
Whilst we appreciate the concerns of certain people in the private sector, in view of the urgent need for low-cost broadband access, the ACDP will support this Bill.
May I also wish the hon Chohan-Khota well as she leaves to chair the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises. We will miss your gracious chairing of the Portfolio Committee on Justice but we welcome her successor, Mr Yunus Carrim, who is obviously not as good-looking as her but we do welcome him. Thank you very much. [Laughter.]
