The Committee once again agreed to focus on selected sectors and departments: those expected to be prioritized over the medium-term or those that have experienced specific budgeting and performance challenges. These are reflected on in the report. In preparing for the MTBPS, the Committee drew on a range of submissions including government's "Towards A Fifteen Year Review", and reports of the Auditor-General (AG) and the Financial and Fiscal Commission (FFC). The Human Science Research Council (HSRC) and the Public Service Commission (PSC) were also invited to present on relevant research and findings.
