Hon House Chairperson, I would like to thank the chairperson of the portfolio committee and all the committee members.
As I stated in my opening remarks, the aim of the National Environmental Management Laws Second Amendment Bill is to strengthen our environmental management system. We are serious about ensuring that there is compliance with our laws and that we are enforcing the protection of our precious environment.
This Bill is an attempt to create different measures, which will ensure that we fulfil our mandate in a more effective and efficient way. As I have indicated, the aim of this Bill is to move towards increased service delivery, stimulate investment, and create jobs for all.
Lastly, I take note of all the comments that have been made. I know that the environment unites us. However, let it not only unite the portfolio committee members. Instead, let it unite all of us, as members of this House. I hope that we will honour this Bill, spread the word, and keep our environment clean. I thank you.
Debate concluded.
Bill read a second time.
