Mr. Speaker, my second set of written questions is for the Minister of Finance, the Honourable Floyd Roland. They also relate in part to this area.
- The Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment has advised that revenue from government diamond certification is being "ploughed back into a marketing fund" used for diamond promotion. Does this mean that diamond certification is no longer subject to appropriation by this Assembly?
- Is the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment's decision about diamond certificate fees in compliance with rules of our Financial Administration Act?
- Could the Minister advise whether there are other types of revenues directly channelled into spending?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
