My question is to Senator McKenzie, the Minister representing the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development. Last Saturday's Cairns Post quoted the member for Leichhardt's office as saying:

The department was solely responsible for assessing, recommending and ultimately awarding grants under the RJIP program.

Can the minister confirm that this statement is not true?
