The Reserve Defence Forces feel that the Minister has an agenda to abolish them. I hope that is not the case. I ask the Minister to reiterate his very strong commitment to the Reserve Defence Forces. He constantly mentions what my party did in government but he has been long enough in government himself to be able to stand over the positions he is adopting. I ask him to stand over the position he is adopting in this regard and to indicate that he has no intention whatsoever of forcing the Reserve Defence Forces to the point of non-existence through the introduction of regulations and key performance indicators with which it is virtually impossible to comply.
