No, I refer to the capital. This whole venture was put into place because it was to be off-balance sheet and the only way to raise money to put into the infrastructure and provision of water services.

Is it the Department's plan or does it envisage that this new company will raise all the money on the markets, or is it the Secretary General's expectation that the Department will have to continue to finance that capital input from taxpayers' money?
