I thank the Minister of State. I want to put on the record our appreciation to the ambassadors of Malawi and Mozambique and their support staff. I also thank Elaine Hollowed from the Department, who has been most helpful.
With regard to leveraging the potential of the private sector, the major representative organisations are good at lobbying the Government on many issues, as we all know. Perhaps if they had a particular stream in their work they could pull things together.
