MINING EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES — FRACCING PROCESS
I refer to the answers to my question on notice 3903 and my questions without notice 583 and 610 in which answers were refused due to commercial-in-confidence sensitivities, and I ask the minister whether he has written to the Auditor General’s office to advise of this refusal to answer in Parliament?
