Chairperson, I think it would be good for us all to fight corruption. If anyone has information about corrupt practices, it should be presented to the department. There is nothing the department can do if it does not have information. We have said that we need to work together to fight corruption.
There has been a problem with food parcels. What we are trying to do right now is ensure that we have a standard amount for food parcels so that we don't have people who have expensive food parcels. Issues of nutrition, distance and so forth are going to be taken into consideration in an attempt to ensure that we address the problems that we are experiencing.
With regard to prior elections, I don't know what the member is talking about. It would also have been much easier if we had those forms that were signed by councillors.
