With regard to the policy direction, let me first be honest and say that the minister and the government would have to do something very flagrant for an agency such as ours to conclude that it was somehow improper. The fact that I don't regard it as improper may not be a guarantee of its wisdom, but it's a guarantee of its constitutionality, and that I can say with respect to the policy direction.
