Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This raises a number of questions. Why, for instance, was the money not moved prior to the main estimates being submitted so that when we were considering the Department of Education, Culture and Employment we could have more closely questioned the Minister about the plans for the spending of that money? I guess, because the money is planned to be moved, I have to ask you if this Minister is aware if the overall spending or the overall contributions will be made using the same general principles as have been used by Department of Health and Social Services when the money is taken over by Education, Culture and Employment. I would just ask why there is a split between the two and why the money isn't being handled by just one department?
