The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM House of Assembly The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM: At this point in time, it's very difficult to put a sum on the impact on the particular industries, but it has certainly cost the government about $17 million in eradication processes to deal with the outbreak. It's very hard to put an actual number on what it has actually cost industry at this point in time. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right!
