To Mr. Van Bynen's point, I direct the questions. I understand that the minister might want to answer, but she is here in her capacity as minister, and I am directing my questions as a parliamentarian.
It is my job right now to be scrutinizing the estimates, which are about $1 billion, on behalf of my constituents. I did the preparatory work and I get to ask who I want. This is not the minister's show to control. I am asking the person who is in charge of data questions about data, and I would like the answer from him.
If the minister would like to go and do a show at Rideau Cottage tomorrow with the Prime Minister, she is welcome to do that. In the meantime, I would like to have my question answered by Mr. Linklater.
