Chairperson, the hon Minister of Trade and Industry is calling for structural change in the economy. This is not an easy thing to do and we need to be realistic about the Minister's goals. The task the Minister has set has a difficult path ahead. It is not going to happen overnight; it largely hinges upon the national Ipap, and resources must be made available in order for this to become a reality.
Minister, I would like to extend a word of caution that there are factors over which we don't have any control, especially the global economy. It is important that all the agencies that are called upon to function optimally need to be brought to the party.
In the case of the cluster of sectors you have identified, your structural policy for each of these sectors has to be very important. Hon Minister, you have a difficult task ahead. I thank you.
