I thank the member for some notice of this question. The level of detail required cannot be provided in the time frame provided. I request that the member put the question on notice. Hon Norman Moore: The parliamentary secretary should be blushing from ear to ear with that answer after her performance in opposition. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH: There is no point in my blushing. Hon Norman Moore: I know there is no point because she has a different view having changed sides! The PRESIDENT: Order, members!
