Mr Speaker, I am making a declaration and I am not quite sure whether it is under Rule 81 or whether it is now under a debate. Nonetheless, I would like to say that, on the basis that we cannot really debate a Bill afresh if it has come from the NCOP, what was interesting to me was the NCOP's insertion of clause 2 about effective economic participation. I think the NCOP was wise to do that, because the object is to create effective economic participation.
We have pointed out that this Bill poses a very serious threat to reracialise South Africa. There is no way that the definitions which have come through in this Bill are not going to end up doing that. The tragedy is that we are going to go back to court and I believe this Parliament should not have to be running to court all the time. We should make laws which are in line with the Constitution. That is why I think the NCOP was very good to add effective economic participation, which is not a racial concept. Thank you.
Motion agreed to (Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus and Independent Democrats dissenting).
Bill accordingly passed.
