Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute
Dr. Kelly de Bruin:
I wish to comment on the Deputy's point that we need to ensure that reaching target goals does not disable the economy. Everybody can agree that is not what we want to do. That is something we are working on. We agree that this needs to be considered and that the economic aspects of the transition to a low-carbon economy are very important and should be investigated. That is something we are working on so I just wanted to say that I agree with and support the Deputy in that regard.
