The media unit is being used extensively and will continue to be used extensively. As the honourable member would know, there is always a balance between those matters responded to directly by the minister’s office and those responded to directly by the department through the media unit.

There is a quite considerable amount of work being done by the media unit and it will continue to be a valuable part of the department.
