Oh no! I sort of lost track of his business enterprises.
I want to agree with Mr Swart that red tape in any form is something that we need to get rid of. I think South Africa has made some progress, but I will also agree that a lot more progress needs to be made in order to create conditions for business to thrive. Red tape, however, is not the only problem that we have. There are many challenges in respect of creating entrepreneurship and enterprise-mindedness among our population. Other departments have that as their brief to ensure that they meet those challenges.
I would like to thank the Deputy Minister for his support in the few weeks that we have been in this job and I look forward to working with the various parliamentary committees under Mr Mufamadi's leadership and, indeed, with all of you, to ensure that we can discuss frankly the challenges that we face, the answers that we have, as well as the answers that we don't have. And all of us may contribute to this process if we want to. That is the open invitation that I put to you, to find those answers where we lack them.
I would like to thank the officials of the Treasury, Sars, the various financial regulatory bodies and DFIs that report to the Ministry. There is a wonderful spirit of energy, innovation and dedication that I hope you will applaud when I finish my speech. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
