Mr. Chair, it would seem to me that we're getting into some very, very big hypotheticals here. I don't know what the line is in terms of what officials can answer and what would be better asked of a cabinet minister, but it seems that we've strayed over this line with that question.
I remember a former prime minister saying that if my grandmother had wheels she could be a bus. I think we're going to the “if, if, if”, and how far do we want to go on this? I don't think it's fair for the officials to to answer that question; I think that a cabinet minister certainly would be able to do so.
