I am keeping my eye on the screen for Questions on Promised Legislation. My first question is for Ms Finn. It is very alarming that after two years, only 7% of the smart regions enterprise innovation scheme fund has been drawn down. We all agree that more needs to be done to support small and medium-sized businesses yet we have a scheme here with only 7% drawdown. Why is that?
