Chairman:

I do not doubt the benefits of the project. The State probably does not do enough for the diaspora, especially in the United States. However, there is considerable concern here and in the United States regarding overruns in the cost of these projects. It is important that a strict attitude is taken to how taxpayers' money is spent.

There appears to be a decline in the number of heritage sites that received State funding. The number of structures and monuments protected and assisted through grants and other mechanisms and ministerial recommendations for protection numbers increased from 142 in 2013 to 548 in 2014 and declined to 29 in 2015. What is the reason for this decline?
