In spite of the minister's hostile response to my first question, she was afforded equal time to the amount of time I posed the question, even though she didn't answer it. I asked a second question, and she was afforded an equal amount of time to the length of the question. She was able to do with that what she wished. Now, if the minister wants to interrupt me, that, of course, is not in order at this committee.
Chair, could you please provide clarification to the minister that she will be afforded the same amount of time to respond as the amount of time that I posed the question?
