Madam Chair, I have a point of order. There is no rule to that effect. Witnesses who appear before the committee can talk about what they want. It's their presentation, and the government should not try to prevent a witness from giving his presentation. This witness is using examples. We are not going to start splitting hairs in two, three or four. In my view, the point of order which my Conservative colleague is trying to make is certainly inappropriate. The witness should be able to make his presentation anyway he wishes.
