Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I actually asked the minister: can the minister confirm that he authorised the IT project to proceed without a fixed budget? The minister has not come to answer that yet, and I see that he has not got very long to do that. Could the President draw him to the question? Could the President also draw him to the question: when did the minister first become aware of the major problems experienced in this project?
