The entity to which she refers does not exist. I think what she is trying to say is that the Investment Attraction Agency has a board, which does not go by the name she has just described it as.

HAMILTON-SMITH:</by>  —good government depends on both sides of the house understanding the issues, reading their briefs and being able to ask and answer competent questions. I would appeal to the deputy leader to do her homework. If she wants a brief on the Investment Attraction Agency, I am happy to provide it, but get the terminology right.</text>
        <text id="20160209dc8af648a87f489eb0000620">To get to the point, I will say that, if she is referring to the board of the Investment Attraction Agency, chaired by Rob Chapman (and I think she is but if she could just check her homework a little better we will clarify that), I can tell her that the government will have more to say about that in coming weeks. You know what: we are going to put together a very good board for the Investment Attraction Agency and I know that the opposition is dying to know more about it so all will be revealed when the government is ready.</text>
