ATTORNEY GENERAL — CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
314. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the Attorney General:
I refer to the Attorney General's
answer to question without notice 95.
(1) Why did the
Department of the Attorney General seek additional funding from the Economic

activities does the Department of the Attorney General intend to cancel, defer
or in any way change to fund the activities?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The
department did not have a specific budget allocation for the additional costs,
hence the submission to the Economic and Expenditure Reform Committee seeking
the committee's determination on appropriate funding, as is normally
the case.
(2) The
department is making every effort for programs to be funded from existing resources
through other efficiencies and savings. Services to the public will be
unaffected.
