I refer to answer to question without notice 671 and to the statement that “the minister retained possession of the document in her file that day”. (1) Does that mean the minister retained possession of the file and, with it, the document? (2) Does that mean she retained the document, and separated it from the file? (3) If the latter, why did she separate it from the file, and why did she take the separated document into the House? Hon G.T. GIFFARD

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) The minister was provided with a copy of the document in response to her request for further information as to the instructions given to the Perth urban rail development team in respect to the drawing of the tender for the railcars.
