BRIAN BURKE AND NEALE FONG - EMAILS
(1) Given that on 12 June 2007 the minister was aware that he had misled Parliament in his answer to the member for Dawesville on 23 May regarding emails between Brian Burke and Neale Fong, why did the minister not immediately make a statement in Parliament to correct the record and say that he was attempting to identify the content of the emails in their entirety? (2) Can the minister confirm that from 12 June 2007 to 20 June 2007 his attempts to obtain a copy of the Burke-Fong emails in their entirety were running parallel and in isolation from any health department efforts to identify this information? Hon SUE ELLERY
