I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) A communications officer coordinates the project as a minor part of that officer’s responsibilities. (2) The estimated cost of the project is nil in 2004-05; $22 819 in 2005-06; and $30 000 in 2006-07. (3) As outlined in the answer to question without notice 725, the strategy is ongoing. (4) As the strategy is still in the consultative phase, it is not clear what final form aspects of the strategy will take. As the project develops, the suitability of each aspect for tabling will be assessed. (5) Not applicable.
