Deputy Chairperson, I think the President actually made a public apology and that should allow us to focus on the message. Thank you. Measures put in place by government with regard to proposed subsidy to employers to limit casualisation of workers and perpetuation of disparity between temporary and full-time workers, prevention of exploitation of young people for tax benefits and implementation of subsidy for benefit of young people in rural areas
3. Mr R J Tau (ANC) asked the Deputy President:
(a) What measures is the government putting in place to ensure that the proposed subsidy to employers does not expand a renewed focus on casualisation of workers and perpetuate the disparity between temporary workers and those working full-time, (b) to what extent will the government ensure that young people employed through this programme are not exploited for tax benefits and discarded without prospects for long-term employment and (c) how will this subsidy be implemented to ensure that it also benefits young people in the rural areas?
