Subject: RE: Official Information request - Request for Communications regarding Economic Growth Portfolio priorities

Dear Minister Willis,

I trust this correspondence finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to seek clarification regarding communications associated with your Economic Growth portfolio. Specifically, I wish to ascertain whether it is accurate to conclude that no communications have transpired between yourself and the Prime Minister concerning this portfolio.

Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. I await your response with anticipation.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew P
