I did say that they can speak for themselves. But as of yesterday, I was unable to obtain from the committee secretary any form of final mandate. But I return to my point on the Western Cape, which had made a submission of 17 pages - and that was substantial amendments proposed to a Bill that has no political content. It is a Bill that should be amended in the interest of our country and in the interest of Asgisa, which is a programme of the Presidency, and a Bill which we now have to leave to the National Assembly's portfolio committee to do the right thing.
I'm sure that - and I believe that many of the members would in private agree - we are fervently hoping that the National Assembly will do the right thing. We hope that they will investigate this Bill properly, that they will have proper public hearings and that this Bill will not be steamrolled through Parliament by the department - and that eventually they will come back to us in a form that we can finally accept. I thank you, Madam Chairperson. [Applause.]
