The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Could you please do it again, Hon. Mr Wade? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council The Hon. S.G. WADE: Perhaps if she wasn't interjecting she might be able to listen better. Given the widespread concerns, why did the ACIL Allen evaluation of the Skills for All program fail to analyse the financial performance of the program and the financial impact on registered training organisations? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council The Hon. G.E. GAGO: I thank the member for his important question. The ACIL Allen evaluation looked at the key objectives of Skills for All and evaluated the scheme's ability to meet those, and it did that within the parameters of the objectives of Skills for All. It is a fairly comprehensive report. It is publicly available. If the honourable member has any other particular queries, I am happy to take those on board.
