Thank you.
Minister, subsection 5(1) of the act governing the committee says that the Prime Minister hires and fires the members of the committee and they hold office at his pleasure. Furthermore, subsection 6(1) of the act gives the Prime Minister the power to determine the committee chair.
Do you, Minister, have the right to refuse the committee's request for further information and do you have the right to block a committee's review of any matter?
