DEPARTMENT OF WATER — CAPITAL WORKS
I have a supplementary question. Do these cuts to critically important projects not show that the minister is not strong enough to stand up for his portfolio and defend projects like the infill sewerage program? Mr R.F. Johnson : That is not a supplementary question. The SPEAKER : I judge it to be a supplementary question. The way I heard it, it was phrased as a question. Dr G.G. JACOBS
