In answer to question on notice 800 (June 2003), I provided a 93-page response on information relating to creditors within my portfolio at that time. To ask for information about each and every advertising campaign for each and every one of the entities under my portfolio for four financial years, would require an unreasonable diversion of Departmental human resources. In providing the response to question on notice 800, I advised that I was reluctant to commit considerable resources to answer questions, unless it relates to data that is ordinarily collected and available in the normal course of operations. If, the member has a specific request regarding costs associated with advertising I would be prepared to consider the Member’s request.
