But I have a very relevant question here....
I hear her heckling across the way. She doesn't like the thrust of the questions. But this is the reality: it's my assertion that scientists should stick to synthesizing the science and let the economists synthesize the economic data. Let those who are relevant in their jurisdictions synthesize it, because they have the expertise to do so. At the end of the day, it is the realm of policy-makers to try to synthesize all the relevant facts in making policy decisions.
I think Mr. Zwiers has been respectful of that line today. I'm not sure some of our other witnesses have done so.
Mr. Sauchyn, I should say that you have as well; I think there was a particular question about this.
Mr. Chair, that question is entirely relevant to the discussion.
