Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister Responsible for Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. Earlier, she stated that her department was responsible for the overall coordination of mining yet the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism just stated that he wasn't aware of the establishment of this office to handle industrial benefits from major projects. I guess this confirms my concern that the mining initiatives of this government aren't being coordinated.
My question to the Minister is, how has the coordinated government approached the mining initiatives when the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism isn't even aware of this initiative that she announced on Friday, regarding the establishment of an office for handling industrial benefits?
