Hon Chairperson, through you to the Deputy President: Deputy President, you are to be congratulated on the Community Work Programme and creating 75 000 jobs under these economic circumstances. That's tremendous. My question is: With the emphasis on decent jobs, would those jobs be classified, in your opinion, as being "decent jobs"?
The second part of my question relates to the restriction on work opportunities, in particular the textile industry, with its minimum wage rates that resulted in the controversy. This is something which, I'm sure, you are aware of, particularly in my province in Newcastle. I would like to know about the restriction imposed on job creation by minimum wage rates in line with these job opportunities here. On the one hand, you are doing a fantastic job of creating job opportunities, but, on the other hand, should we not be looking at opening the opportunities where we have restrictions such as minimum wage rates which chase the work overseas or to other countries?
