          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS:</by>  During yesterday's question time, I was asked a question by the shadow minister from the opposition about who the government is leasing the generators from. The government has a contract with SAPN to provide that service with APR Energy. The government's option to purchase the generators is directly with APR Energy. That is a response to a question from the shadow minister, Mr van Holst Pellekaan.</text>
