Yes, I certainly do. It is about our effort to work together and to share in an ambitious programme for the Executive. The PFG has been designed to make things better; to improve people's lives and their lot; to do better in areas such as health, by tackling waiting lists, the environment and childcare; to grow a globally competitive economy; to provide more social, affordable and sustainable homes; to build safer communities; to end violence against women and girls; and much more. A collective focus and sustained commitment will be required if we are to deliver real and positive differences to people's lives here. That is what, I believe, we are all ultimately here to do. There will, of course, be tough financial challenges ahead, but we know that. We can — indeed, we must — make a real difference by improving people's lives. That is why our focus is all about delivery. For my part, I want to continue to work with all around the Chamber and across our Executive to deliver the positive change that people want to see on the issues that matter most to them and their families.
