Thank you, Deputy Speaker. In parallel with this we will also accelerate the completion of the planning of the Umzimvubu and the Foxwood Dams. We will intensify our engagement with provinces, as I have already done with the Limpopo province, to ensure that we integrate and find funding for common projects so that our people are able to get water.
As I conclude, I would like to say, Mr President, rest assured that the people we have interacted with throughout this country are behind you - business and civil society - not only with regards to our process of the programme of hosting the COP 17, but also with regard to the provision of water. They do understand that gradually we are beginning to lift them out of poverty by providing services that they were never given before. This government is providing those services to them. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
