I have a supplementary question. If

My previous answer stands: we are still in negotiations. No,
I will not be releasing information to the public until we conclude those. The
Auditor General said that was an acceptable process to go through.
An opposition member interjected.
Ms M.J. DAVIES :
Yes, he did. Go and read it. I will work with the Treasurer and other arms of
government to ensure that we can provide as much information post–the
negotiations as possible.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Albany, I call you to order for the first time. I am surprised it is
the first time.
