The Minister mentioned that the seven things to which I referred as priorities are catalysts in certain areas. I was looking at the submission process on the departmental website. If I was a member of a youth organisation or an advocacy group like ICTU or USI and had put together a document on the youth sector and on youth unemployment, it does not make it easy for me to make that submission.

All I ask today is that the Minister issue a press release so that these groups know that the submission process is open. It is a targeted need and I do not want to make a political point about it because it is important to me and it affects my peer group. Could the Minister meet these groups or make sure that they are aware of the submission process because it is a big issue in the economy and society?
