Are debate and discussions taking place within the IBEC family? This issue affects many of its members. I am aware that the banks are significant members of Dr. Ivory's organisation, as well as significant contributors. However, many of its members are suffering as a consequence of the lack of credit from the banks. In spite of the fact that the banks are big contributors, an organisation such as IBEC should be extremely proactive in playing its part to ensure this issue is resolved. I am trying to elicit from Dr. Ivory whether IBEC is on the sidelines or proactive in trying to make this happen.
