With respect to our colleague's comments, I would begin by saying that what is involved is not future programs. We are speaking here about studying existing projects. Then, we are being asked to help the minister understand the cuts. There is a genuine problem here in that the cuts have already been made.
If I may make a suggestion to our friends opposite, I would say that we need to ask the minister to determine why she made these cuts. She must be able to answer that. It is not up to us to determine why she did it if she herself does not know. She is the person who took this political decision. It is up to her to give a cogent response. This morning, she did not have the answers. It is up to her now to determine why she took this decision.
