Mr. Chair, knowing the restrictions and the limitations that the minister is legally faced with, I was simply going to add, in response to a well-placed suggestion by my colleague, Mr. McTeague, that, “in as far as the Minister is permitted or allowed by law to discuss”. So we're also putting that, knowing very well that the minister will respond, “I am sorry, I am not permitted to discuss based on”--as the parliamentary secretary said--“confidential information”.
