I will examine the figures that the member for Dawesville put forward because, just as I have learnt from my experiences with the member Vasse, I will not take on face value anything put up by the opposition. The government is putting in the money and it has a comprehensive world-class reform program to get the best value for that money. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! I call to order the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and the member for Roe.
