Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment and they are in relation to the Growing Forward Program administered by his Department.
Would the Minister provide the following information for the previous two fiscal years as well as the current fiscal year 2010-2011:
How much funding has been made available and how much was accessed from this program?
What amounts of funding have been distributed under the Growing Forward Program and who were the recipients whether it was a business, individual or non-government organization? Could this information be further broken down by community?
How is this funding allocated to each recipient? More specifically, how was the funding calculated and designated? What formula was utilized? A base funding approach or other means? Also, provide specific allocation rationale for each individual case so that the justification for each allocation can be accounted for.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The honourable Member for Weledeh, Mr. Bromley.
