Yes, that's the way the system works. You basically get what you're given. But we're also politicians, and we use our judgment as well.
As I said in my opening, I kind of pushed this issue of prisoners because I felt it was going to the legitimacy of the mission and it was important for us to deal with it. In the department, some people felt, you know, why we were spending as much time on this at that time, but I think everybody came around to recognizing its importance.
So our job as politicians is to put in our political input, but our job as ministers is to listen to our officials and basically base our conduct on the good advice we're getting from them.
