I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) All publication costs were paid for by ExxonMobil excluding Department of Environment and Conservation staff time. (2) The amount is $47 694.50 including GST. (3)–(4) I table the attached 1992 policy statement of the former Department of Conservation and Land Management, which is under review. The sponsorship was considered by senior officers of DEC and approved by the director general. [See paper 3652.]
