I have not as yet established the Advisory Council of Business Leaders. However, I am in receipt of ongoing advice from the heads of the enterprise development agencies that report to my Department, as well as from business leaders and representative groups around the country. This has assisted in framing the Government's response to the economic situation and difficulties, which are being faced by business.
