I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) No. Speeding fines include both on-the-spot speeding infringements and speed camera infringements. The commitment given at the election was to spend all money raised from red light cameras and Multanovas on road safety. We will account fully to the Parliament on this. In 1999-2000, $32 700 288 was received from speed and red light cameras. The final report for road safety initiatives receiving funding in 2000-01 will not be available until after final accounting procedures are completed in August 2001. In 1999-2000, the breakdown of items of expenditure from both the road trauma trust fund and sponsorship moneys was as follows: priority areas, including workplace road safety, regional initiatives, seniors initiatives and youth and schools initiatives received $636 600; research, $515 638; community education, $5 493 358; community involvement, $1 860 000; coordination, $1 159 820; enforcement, $3 108 493; trauma services, $640 000; and other projects $249 493.
