The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:07): A supplementary in relation to that answer: I am not certain whether the minister is aware, but the minister, where the estimated cost to the public sector initiative exceeds the authority of what is essentially clause 17.11.1 it immediately goes to clause 17.11.2. It is not a matter of whether a senior officer can sign but whether the minister did. Can he please answer whether he did, not a senior officer?

The PRESIDENT: I will allow the first part of the question by way of clarification. Minister.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:07): As I said, I will confirm to the council whether the particular document was signed by me.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I cannot hear the minister. The Hon. Mr Hanson, I gave you some latitude on the last question. Make it a proper supplementary.
