Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There's a lot to unpack in that last answer, Minister, but we'll leave that be.
You said something at this committee just a few moments ago that I think most Canadians will find shocking. You said that a chief science adviser who has now been in place for seven months would play no part in looking at the environmental assessment process of the carbon tax. I think that is shocking, but it's also very disappointing. You wouldn't look to the chief science adviser for her advice on a very scientific and evidence-based policy.
Why not, Minister?
