There's good news: As members of this committee, we get to ask questions. We do not get to predetermine what the answers are, but I'm sure the minister looks forward to answering it.
I am going to ask that we remember why we are here. Given why we are here, I would like us to continue having a respectful exchange. I would like us to come to the conclusion of this meeting as quickly as possible so that I can start looking forward to Thursday's meeting.
With that, I'm going to restart the clock. You're not starting from the top, but your time of one minute for your question remains.
I'm going to give the floor to Minister MacKinnon.
I'm confident there will be no more interruptions. I'm also confident that Minister MacKinnon will be brief in his response so that Mr. Cooper can continue with his line of questioning.
Minister MacKinnon, go ahead.
