Nedlac guarantees that once a matter is agreed to in those chambers, it already enjoys the support of important stakeholders in our country. In the interim, because we are talking of a multipronged strategy and approach, all other elements of this multipronged strategy ought to be employed and given effect to with more vigour and enthusiasm, so that we truly deal with this challenge of the unemployment of young people. As I said, I believe we are treating this matter with the urgency that it deserves. That is why the three Ministers are going to be interacting with Nedlac to ensure that we get this report. We are no less eager to get the report and get going than you are on the other side of this House. Thank you.
