I just want to be clear. I have heard some feedback from some of the chief financial officers in each department that they'll come to a committee meeting for us to deal with estimates but they have no concept of what the questions might be, on what topic. They can be anywhere within the estimates. And of course, as you said before, when the minister is here, it's mostly politics. We're able to ask the staff or the bureaucrats questions. Are the senators and parliamentarians there required to submit their questions in advance in writing before they show up at the hearings? Is that an accurate statement?
On April 4th, 2012. See this statement in context.
