Hon Speaker, you see, the question of prescribed assets is very relevant to the original question by the way because it has to do with the economics, and that is what the question has opened to. I think you need to take this opportunity to give direction to the country because the idea that pension fund investments cannot be used in a time of crisis is completely ridiculous.
President, the NDP, which you were at the centre of composing, has obviously dramatically failed. It promised to reduce
unemployment to 14% by next year. You and I know that that has already gone. It is not time to conceptualise a new microeconomic framework which by the way is going to place the state at the centre of economic production and control. Historically, there is no country in the world - be it in the West, the East or the Global South that has ever developed without the state being at the centre of production and control. Shouldn't we pursue that economic route because your NDP has dramatically failed? [Interjections.]
