I refer the minister to his reply given the day before yesterday to question without notice 175. (1) Does the minister’s answer mean that the government was not concerned about a breach of cabinet confidentiality involving a sensitive commercial matter? (2) Why was no action taken, such as a risk-management exercise, to determine how information concerning cabinet’s deliberations was leaked and to minimise the risk in future? Hon KIM CHANCE
