This point of order normally comes from Mr. Davies. There's always a surprise in this committee.
I'll do whatever the committee wishes, but I don't want criticism of the government and government policies. Those questions should be directed toward the minister as opposed to these witnesses. I think it is fair for these witnesses to explain policy, maybe how it came about, but I don't want them to get into it from either side, either the government side....
But you're experienced witnesses. I'm sure you'll be able to handle yourselves.
I've spent enough time on that.
Welcome, again. Mr. Linklater, you may proceed. You have up to eight minutes, sir.
