Hon Speaker, I would like to thank the hon Deputy President for that response. I must say, hon Speaker, that it was quite difficult to get information on the Net about what the council does, but I think the Deputy President has quite clearly elucidated the functioning of this council.
What I would like to ask the Deputy President is this: Given the fact that the provision of a cost-effective, uninterrupted and available supply of electricity is core to the economic development and the future growth path of this country, as well as to rural development - because there are still many rural areas that don't have electricity - is he satisfied that the work being done by this council is going to contribute in a meaningful way towards ensuring that, 20 years from now, we not only have an alternative energy supply and sources, but will be on a positive growth path?
