I thank the witnesses for the presentation. Public representatives are kept aware of this issue every day of the week. I missed the presentation by the officials of the Department. They may have addressed the issue I raise. Last year, there was uproar when the cuts were announced. It was feared that community employment schemes would close. How many, if any, schemes closed when the cutbacks were made? Have participants encountered difficulty in progressing their training following the cutbacks?
