Do you feel then that the minister should be involved? It's pretty hard to take the politics out of politics when you're in politics.
I'm wondering where you're going with the decision-making process on this. Should it all be handled by the bureaucracy? Should the minister not have input at all? I mean, if he has input, then he's going to have decisions on where dollars are spent.
If I understood you correctly, did you tell the committee that in some places they changed this and the decisions weren't much different after?
