Mr. Chairman, I wanted to go back to the definition of objectives. It does not say anything about that transfer at all, nor does it say it in this item. I wonder whether it is just an oversight on the part of the government, or did they want to make it obvious?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The transfer decision was after the review of the Standing Committee on Finance on child day care so that is why there is no explanation in these budgets. Thank you.

How long after the finance committee reviewed it before Christmas, did the department decide to transfer that program?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The procedure which will be used is the transfer of the day care program will be tabled in this House through Supplementary Appropriation, No. 1, which I believe is to be considered after the break and will come into immediate effect for the new financial year assuming the Assembly approves that transfer.

Mr. Chairman, as a matter of process, I wonder if we can, in this House, delete that amount and transfer it back to Education. Is that possible? It is required that we do it through a supp.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Given that this budget is also approved through an act and the supplementary appropriation which will be coming to the House, supp one will also be an act, perhaps it is easier, as those documents are already in preparation I believe it will achieve the same result by dealing with it in supp one.

Mr. Chairman, there is no mention of that with regard to the main estimates by the standing committee. Was the standing committee consulted about this transfer?

Mr. Chairman, when we appeared in front of the Standing Committee on Finance Members were informed that this program was being transferred to the Department of Education, Culture and Employment Programs.
