Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to make it very clear on the issue of pharmaceuticals. This was addressed very well by the National Treasury because some pharmaceuticals have specialised bottles that cannot possibly be produced quickly in the country. Protection of local manufacturers is recommended to be progressive. That is why the exemption was brought and the National Treasury supports it.

I propose that we support the exemption for now because progressively, almost everything will be produced in the country.
