(b) the final total cost of the contract?
Although it is anticipated that there would not be a significant number of single purchases that exceed $5,000, the provision of the information would still require considerable research, including an analysis of invoices and payments associated with the activities of the Minister's Office. This would divert staff resources from their normal duties that can not be currently justified. However, if the Member has a specific query I will endeavour to provide a response.
