Hon Speaker, Comrade President, the hon Singh's question presupposes that liberal labour and market policies are an effective tool for achieving higher economic growth rates, whereas we all know that those liberal policies precipitated the global economic crisis of 2008 and 2009.
Will the President share with the House why the 53rd National Conference of the governing party, the ANC, reaffirmed the creation of a mixed economy by a capable developmental state as the policy to attain higher economic growth rates and a better life for all? Will the President also reconfirm his government's commitment to labour rights as human rights, like all the property rights? Thank you. [Applause.]
