[The DEPUTY MINISTER OF POLICE: Chairperson, if we wanted to manage the police in the national office only, we would not be having what we call the provincial MEC for Police. Members of the Executive Council or MECs are there to see that the police do their work correctly, as well as to support the police, in the province. [Applause.] If you do not support the police, they will always get killed and they will keep having the same problems as they are having. [Interjections.] One is blind to one's own faults. Thank you, Chairperson.]
