          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:25):</by>  In terms of the minister's answer, does the minister in that process, where she referred to independent assessment and so on, ever see the list of proposed grants before they are approved? And does the assistant minister ever provide advice about proposed multicultural grants through that process?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4362">The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:26):</by>  Just like any other grants by government, the minister or assistant minister representing the portfolio will sign off the recommendation by the assessment panel with the grants. Do I see the list? Of course I see the list. I see the list of recommendations by the assessment panel as to which organisations qualify for assistance and will fit the criteria of funding. Those guidelines have been followed accordingly, and I sign off on the recommendations by the assessment panel.</text>
