Chairperson, the response by the hon Minister is in line with the view strongly held by the portfolio committee that the self-sufficiency of our correctional centres must be promoted so that skills can be developed and inmates can utilise their time in incarceration meaningfully, making reintegration smoother when they are released back into society. We therefore welcome the response by the hon Minister and trust that he will ensure that the timelines will be kept. [Applause.]
