A Erwin: Public Enterprises Dept Budget Vote 2004/2005
So important changes in the overall political economy had to occur before the private sector became interested in these long-term revenue flows and before the state saw it fit to allow the private sector into these essentially public goods.

We will adopt an integrated approach to use transport systems as a catalyst to stimulate new development corridors in various regions of our Provinces.
