Thank you, Minister.

I note that subsection 16(1) gives you the authority as minister to refuse information requested by the committee, and paragraph 8(1)(b) gives you the right to block the committee's review of any matter.

My second-to-final question for you is this. Does the Prime Minister have the power to direct the committee to change reports and remove information from reports before those reports are made public?
