I ask that each agency nominate a representative to a working group in the interim period to see what the avenues are. If money is the problem, let them identify it as such and let us look for the funding under the national development plan or whatever. This is a national asset. It is a national primary route in the rail network and it needs to be supported. If there is a problem, we need to deal with it and grasp the nettle, as the Chairman said. A working group should be established in the next couple of months and it can make recommendations to the committee. We can then add our voices to try to support them. We need to find solutions.
