I want to speak to the issue of relevance, because this is the second point of order on it.
I take your point about the witness not being the individual responsible for the subject matter at hand.
Generally, members of committees do not have specific rules governing the nature of the questions they can put to witnesses, other than the general requirement of relevance. Clearly, this line of questioning is relevant. In fact, the minister herself, in her opening remarks, talked about the forced labour bill with respect to the estimates. That's why she was here.
I think it's entirely in order for a member of this committee to ask questions of witnesses about this. They may not be able to answer them, but I think this is entirely relevant.
