The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:14): Supplementary question: I think the member may have misunderstood me.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:15): As I have already mentioned, all of the arrangements around the centre for excellence are currently in the early stages of development.
