Thank you, Mr. Rota.

I would like to thank the minister and his associates.

My question is to the Minister of WD, Madam Yelich.

Since budget 2007, the core operating budget for WD has been systematically reduced every year. This trend will continue until 2012-13, when the WD budget will have been cut by 48% compared to the final year the Liberal government was in office.

Can you please explain why this department is slowly being eliminated under your leadership?
