Deputy Speaker, let me start by correcting the hon Smuts. I would encourage him to read the speech by the hon Minister of Finance, who clearly did not say that the target won't be reached or that the target should be changed. In fact, the Minister of Finance indicated that it will be a challenge to reach the target if we do things the way we have always done.
That goes to the heart of what we seek to do. We have to change the way in which the state works, the private sector and so on. I think what the Minister of Finance indicated in the speech is a number of measures in the New Growth Path that need to be implemented with urgency and with focus. I hope that addresses the one issue.
I do wish to conclude with the comment that the five million jobs target was always a stretch target. It is necessary. It is a stretch target in a society with high levels of unemployment. That requires, as I indicated in the reply to an earlier question, a national consensus on how we move forward and some agreements between government and partners in the wealth- creating machinery of the economy, business and labour. Thank you very much.
