Whether she will take any action against any entities reporting to her

As the Minister I am responsible to ensure, through the Boards and Councils
that I recommend to Cabinet for appointment, proper oversight of public
entities in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. I am also responsible to
recommend Chief Executive Officers of these entities for appointment to
Cabinet. Where failure to adhere to regulations and legislation that govern
these entities, by any of these entities, is brought to my attention,
corrective measures are instituted immediately to ensure compliance.
