Chair, the Select Committee on Finance was fully briefed by Treasury about the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative or Cabri agreement in terms of section 231 of the Constitution. The select committee asks that the House supports it as it is tabled on the Order Paper. Ngiyabonga! Asante! Baie dankie! [Thank you!] [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
Order! I shall now put the question in respect of the Fourth Order. The question is that the report be adopted. As this decision is dealt with in terms of section 65 of the Constitution, I need to ascertain very clearly whether delegation heads are present in the Chamber.
I shall now also allow provinces the opportunity to make their declarations in terms of Rule 71 if they so wish. Is there any province wishing to make any declaration of vote? There is obviously none.
We shall now proceed to the voting on the question. I shall do this in alphabetical order per province. Delegation heads must please indicate to the Chair whether they vote in favour or against or abstain from voting. Eastern Cape?

The House CHAIRPERSON (Mrs M N Oliphant): All provinces voted in favour. I therefore declare the report adopted in terms of section 65 of the Constitution.
Report accordingly adopted in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
