Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In a different area, the Minister is also in charge of overseeing Affirmative Action. Since we have dismantled the Department of Personnel, there is no independent agency within the staffing process. We are supposed to be putting more emphasis on the managers, deputy ministers and Ministers of their own departments to ensure they increase the percentage of employees with Affirmative Action status in their departments. We have, this is quite some time now since the Department of Personnel was dismantled and we were supposed to increase these figures or percentages through this new process, I would like to know has the percentage of employees with Affirmative Action status actually increased since we have done this?
