I want to pursue this a little bit. I heard your first rationale, but I have to tell you, the fact that she's not a lawyer and would write her own brief.... I guarantee you that when I was a cabinet minister, I didn't write my own briefs when they were legal and technical in nature, and we don't expect a minister of health to be able to write a how-to book on how to do brain surgery.
You said it would cause difficulty.... I'm just trying to get some specifics, sir. I'm not hearing good, specific reasons why that causes so much grief, remembering that we're into an era in which less and less often are ordinary people prepared to accept the mystical, deferential powers of anybody, even of the Queen's representative. I'm having some trouble understanding why we wouldn't at the very least ask someone who has incredible power to give us at least a reason why he or she has exercised those powers. I don't understand why that's such a big problem, sir.
Maybe you can help me with that.
