Should businesses decide to leave this jurisdiction and relocate, it will lead to a loss of jobs and that will impact on the economy. It is important that we should know - although I am not asking that companies be named - and that the Minister and her Department would know of these companies, so that every avenue is explored and no stone is left unturned to ensure they can remain, if at all possible. I would hate to see a scenario whereby an announcement is made that a significant number of small or medium enterprises will relocate as they did not receive sufficient support from Government or State agencies. I respect that the Minister cannot name them.
