I thank all the witnesses for attending today's engagement with the committee. We will be following up with the approved driving instructors stakeholders' forum and Mr. Fred Reilly and will ask them to come before the committee, which they have indicated they would be interested in doing, or to give us a detailed submission. This would be in terms of our deliberations on putting forward a report to both the RSA and the Department of Transport on how to deal with the backlog of more than 155,000 people, many of them young, 100,000 of whom are waiting for a test and 55,000 of whom are waiting for a theory test. The question is how that can be expedited. I thank the witnesses.
