Thank you very much, hon Smith. I hope the day will come when South Africa will spend more than 1% of its GDP on research and development. The movement of funds from Research, Development and Innovation concerns allocations to new institutions - the Technology Innovation Agency - and then, of course, the rescheduling, as you know, of the programme with respect to the space science programme - the building of the Square Kilometre Array.
As you would be aware from a recent statement I made, we have rescheduled because the global committee on the Square Kilometre Array has indicated that the science points to a need for a redesign of the actual Square Kilometre Array - the dishes and the type of antennae that would be utilised. So, we don't want to proceed to build immediately and use a design that would not make us fit to compete effectively for the bid.
So, it's not a reduction in terms of the programme intention, but it's really a rescheduling. That's the primary part of the change that there is in the Research, Development and Innovation programme's budget. It's not money taken a way; it's rescheduling of our programme of build with respect to our largest intervention, which is the space science programme. [Applause.]
