Chairperson, I'd like to thank the Deputy President for his comprehensive reply to my question. I'd also like to ask the Deputy President if I could please have a copy of that for our committee.
Deputy President, as you stated, the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform is a new department, and it has a budget of only some R500 million. Now, as I understand it, this department is there to initiate projects, and there will then be co-ownership of these projects through health, public works, co-operative governance, etc.
Have certain monies been earmarked or ring-fenced to assist the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform via the other departments, such as Public Works, that may have to come to assist, or is this going to be just part of their budgets? I'm worried that with the pressures on all the other departments they will not have sufficient funds or can't assist this new department. Thank you.
