Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand Mr. Telegdi's concern, but I do not agree with his premise that the bureaucracy has set up and dealt with the point system by itself. The point system is subject to ministerial review. It has been talked about in this committee. It was changed once or twice when the Liberal government was in power. This government has thought about changing it once or twice. I've had two ministers since I've been deputy here, and neither of them is a pushover, and I couldn't change the point system on my own if I wanted to.
So I do not agree with your view that the bureaucrats are running the department.
