I take it from the Minister's answer that nearly $5 million was formerly used as subsidies for businesses that were operated and that this is now coming out of the development corporation. If that is the case, would that indicate that the $6 million capital contribution this year will almost totally be eaten up by business subsidies which will be the same level as what was happening in 1991-92 and that we are not actually any further ahead?
