I refer to the recently formed Small Enterprise Network, launched by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia (CCIWA), and ask -
(1) Did the Minister or any of his staff meet with the CCIWA, in relation to the Small Enterprise Network, prior to its official launch on 17 February 2010?
(2) If yes to (1), when and where were the meetings held and who attended them?
(3) Has the CCIWA applied for State Government funding, in relation to the Small Enterprise Network, and if so, what form of funding and will the Government be providing that funding?
(4) Has the Minister or any of his staff received advice as to what effect the Small Enterprise Network will have on the Small Business Development Corporation or Western Australia’s Small Business Centres, and if so, will the Minister table that advice?
(5) Will the Minister assure Western Australia’s small businesses that the CCIWA will not be taking over any or all of the functions of the Small Business Development Corporation or the Western Australia’s Small Business Centres?
(6) If no to (5), why not?
