Madam Deputy Speaker, at times I get the impression that when Ministers do not have the answer to a question I ask, they tell me they do not understand what I am saying. However, I know that Minister Rob Davies has all the answers. So, he will clearly understand me.
In the past 15 years we have tried all sorts of programmes to promote small, medium and micro enterprises, SMMEs. Many of them have failed. One gets the impression that one often retries the same programme in new packaging and with new emphasis. This time it is the notion of incubating businesses rather than merely supporting them.
Could the Minister possibly clearly identify what the differentiating elements are between this programme and the previous programmes? What type of assessment has he made, both in quantitative and qualitative terms, of all the programmes in the past that did not work so as to develop this programme, hopefully in a manner which will work. Thank you.
