We had a consultation period on the action plan for competitiveness. We had a lot of submissions from different sectors including people from various political backgrounds. We have responded to them in the plan. The committee will have its role in holding our feet to the fire in relation to the ambition that is set out across the 80 recommendations, with clear timelines, and the Departments responsible for the delivery of same. There is a lot of work on which the committee's engagement will be helpful as we progress through the plan.
