Hon Speaker, indeed, my understanding is that the challenge of youth unemployment cannot be addressed through one instrument only; it requires a multipronged approach. The youth wage subsidy, as I said, was announced by the President, further elaborated upon by National Treasury, and later embraced by the DA. [Laughter.] Therefore, we do not regard it as a DA proposal because it was something that was contained in the state of the nation address. This multipronged approach will include the DA's take on the youth wage subsidy.
So, it is a national effort and we should not locate it in party politics, because it is about a very important challenge: of ensuring that we create employment opportunities for young people. [Applause.] It is from that perspective that I believe the DA is not saying in its argument that the youth wage subsidy is a silver bullet, the only way to solve youth unemployment. They are embracing what the President announced, and so, that should be welcomed. Thank you. [Applause.]
