    Establishment of an Economic Council
    In addition to the Shadow Cabinet an Economic Council has also been established. That Council comprises those portfolios which have been determined as the economic drivers that when properly harnessed will fuel Jamaica’s fast paced development in the next PNP Administration. These are:
    i. Development
    ii. Finance, Planning and the Public Service
    iii. Transport and Works
    iv. Energy, Science and Technology
    v. Investment, Industry and Commerce
    vi. Agriculture and Fisheries
    vii. Tourism and Entertainment
    viii. Youth and Culture
    ix. Housing
    x. Lands, Water, Environment and Climate Change
    The Economic Council will be supported by an Economic Advisory Team which will be drawn from leaders in the Private Sector, Academia, Science and Technology and Civil Society. The members of the Economic Advisory Team will include persons who are active locally, regionally and internationally.

    Changes in Parliamentary Leadership
    The following changes have also been made with respect to the Leadership within the Parliamentary Opposition. Mr. Michael Peart, Member of Parliament for Manchester Southern will assume the responsibilities of the Leader of Opposition Business in the House of Representatives. He will be supported by Mr. Fitz Jackson, Member of Parliament for St. Catherine Southern as Deputy Leader of Opposition Business.
    Additional announcements as to the operation and the deliberation of the Shadow Cabinet will be made from time to time.
    These changes reflect our recognition of the national role the People’s National Party must continue to play to safeguard the development of the people of Jamaica and our country’s good standing in the Region and the rest of the world.

    Establishment of an Economic Council? Really? Is this like the "Progressive Agenda" that no one knows about?
