Hon House Chair, let me thank members for participating in this important debate. However, I must also indicate to the hon George that we have opened an opportunity for you to debate, discuss, sell and come with an alternative. [Interjections.] No, you said the obvious.
I understand you had a prepared speech, but I think you should have listened carefully to what I was saying, because all that you said is what I had said and acknowledged in my speech. It is important, though, that we also inform you that we have a good relationship with the Bric and Impsa groups or countries. Actually, we have strong relations with Russia and China. I do not think that there is an issue there. What is important about this topic is that we open up discussions and are able to come with issues and alternative policies that can make this country work.
We have done so during other events that we held as a country. Obviously we don't have any room for pessimists in this country. We want people who are positive and want to contribute positively. We are sure that with the 2010 World Cup spirit that we had, we could continue to build this country and realise the growth that we are so desperately looking for as South Africa. I thank you. [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
