Ms FORREST question to MINISTER for INFRASTRUCTURE, Mr VINCENT

The minister made some public comments around what may or may not occur with a second Cam River bridge. I understand the report was not going to be provided to the minister until early next year. It appears he might already have it. Has that report been made available to you, minister? When will you release it publicly?

ANSWER

That report is not before me at this point in time. I do not have a time when that will be other than it is pending. With all reports like that, it will go through the proper process of being reviewed by myself and then going to Cabinet. It will become available when it comes out of Cabinet. I do not have a time at this stage.

Ms Forrest - Publicly available?

Mr VINCENT - I do not have a time until it arrives to me. I might look at my shoulder here.

Shortly.

Ms Forrest - Shortly. I like that.

Mr VINCENT - It is being done at the moment.

Ms FORREST (Murchison) - The minister did not address his mind to whether the report would have been made publicly available after the consideration of Cabinet in light of the significant public interest and expectation that we will get to see what has been proposed or not.

ANSWER

I will just seek advice on that to get it right. I almost had it correct. It will go before Cabinet after we have had a look at it and it is up to Cabinet whether it be released to the public then. Thank you.
