All right.

We know that, in terms of labour, we need to work in partnership with the provinces. Even if the funding is there, we need to find the labour for our abattoirs. In my constituency, I have seen several abattoirs close down, not because they wanted to, but because they had no succession plan and no one was there to take over.

Have you experienced the same thing with your former suppliers?
