The name of the motion for the study says “supporting industries in their transition to greener and more sustainable practices,” and it talks about innovation initiatives. That's exactly the kind of thing that Brookfield Assets is invested in. It's exactly the reason Mr. Carney is here to address the committee.
MP Poilievre is clearly asking questions related to Brookfield Asset Management, which has investments in this exact area and which is the topic of this study. Where Brookfield Asset Management is invested is quite clearly relevant. In addition, it seems to me that an accepted practice in committee is that witnesses don't necessarily determine the topic or the question they want to answer. Since you have said yourself that the time belongs to the member of Parliament, I think the member of Parliament should be allowed to use his time accordingly and the witness should be compelled to answer his questions.
Thanks, Chair.
