Parliament: 41 Session: 1

FOREST PRODUCTS COMMISSION — AUCTION CONTRACTS

447. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Forestry:

Thank you, President. We are all getting very excited over this side.

The PRESIDENT: I noticed.

Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS: My question is to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Regional Development representing the Minister for Forestry.

(1) Will the minister provide a list of all Forest Products Commission auction contracts, including the name of the holder of the contract, the commencement and expiry date of the auction contract, and the date the holder of the auction contract last purchased jarrah or karri sawlog from an FPC auction?

(2) If not, why not?

(3) If any of the holders of an FPC auction contract also hold another FPC contract, can the minister please provide details of the other FPC contracts held, including the type of FPC contract, the commencement and expiry dates of the contract, and the sawlog and/or other bole volume and species allocated under the contract?

The PRESIDENT: Are you sure that is a question without notice? I call the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Regional Development.

Hon DARREN WEST replied:
