          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:04):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. As I said earlier in response to somebody else's question, we are actually undergoing a review. The Hon. Steven Joyce has been here doing a review. I expect we'll see a slight tweaking from a regional focus to a sector focus as we move forward. Rather than have information that is under review and potentially not accurate, the decision has been made not to have that information available at the moment. I am not quite sure of the connection with the business growth fund and the regional strategies. I am not quite sure what the connection is. I didn't understand that part of the question, Mr President. Maybe the honourable member might like to ask a supplementary to give me some clarification.</text>
