Mr Speaker, the President announced an ambitious infrastructure programme at the beginning of this year in his state of the nation address. While investment in infrastructure is key to economic growth, it requires a partnership between the public and the private sector in order to be successful. But there remain concerns, given the mixed message, which my hon colleague mentioned earlier, from members of the President's Cabinet that the infrastructure programme will not provide for an adequate partnership between the public and private spheres. Will the Presidential Infrastructure Co-ordinating Commission provide for the involvement of the private sector as investors and partners in this programme?
Furthermore, given concerns about corruption in large-scale tenders of this nature, will the President include the provision that no company linked to a so-called investment arm of the political party, such as the ANC's Chancellor House or the South African Communist Party and the Congress of SA Trade Union's investment arms, will be granted tenders by the government under this programme? Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. [Interjections.]
