AnswerView source ↗
I think it is a great program that is being run there. The Minister for Education and I are engaged in discussions and are trying to identify funding options for the centres so that the program can continue. This was a pilot program established in March 2007, as the member knows. Ms J.M. Freeman : It is still a good program. It still needs to go on, minister. Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I did not say that it was not. The SPEAKER : Does the member for Nollamara want to hear the answer? Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I did not say that it was not. I said previously that I thought it was a good program. The former Labor government was asked for a four-year extension of the program, and that was rejected. It extended the program for only one year. Mr J.N. Hyde interjected. The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Perth for the second time. Will the minister please conclude his remarks. Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I reiterate that the Minister for Education and I are very seriously looking at — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Warnbro for the second time. Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : I think I have concluded my comments. Tabling of Paper The SPEAKER : That concludes question time. However, before we move on, during question time the Minister for Education indicated that she would table a report. I ask her to do that. [See paper 922.]
