Skills for All

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:39): In her answer, the minister said that people were selected because of their best skill set for the job. Is she now telling us that she does not know exactly what the job is that she asked them to do? She cannot tell us the terms of reference.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Point of order.

The PRESIDENT: Point of order.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: This is in no way a supplementary question. The answer was given. It is incumbent upon the honourable member to listen to it, not to ask for it to be repeated.

The PRESIDENT: Does the honourable minister want to answer that question? It is up to you whether you want to answer it.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:40): I have answered the question.
