Thank you, hon Deputy Speaker. Hon member, yes, I think this is something that we want to do, but in two ways. [Interjections.] The one is obviously funding, but funding will not matter if you do not have markets; so you need to combine it with demand. This means that in the infrastructure programme we have to work towards set- asides and other measures that will encourage the awarding of contracts to small businesses and to black-owned businesses. That is on the demand side.
On the supply side it is finance, and we will certainly do what you have suggested, but it must be coupled with other supply side measures. Skills development and other measures are critical to bringing smaller businesses into the economic mainstream. Thank you. [Applause.]
