The Committees of Economic Development and of Trade and Industry held separate meetings with their respective Ministers regarding the envisaged departmental policy frameworks. The Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry met on 17 June 2009 to consider the Medium Term Strategic Framework 2009 - 2012 of the DTI, Khula Enterprise Finance Ltd (Khula) and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). The selection of these two entities was due to the time constraints of the fourth Parliament in having to pass the new budget votes, as well as the uncertainty around the more complex process of restructuring the affected departments and the subsequent process of realigning their strategic plans and budgets accordingly.
