Point of order, Mr. Chairman.
The minister's answer is totally unacceptable, and I know where he is heading. We have specific questions to ask and serious work to do.
Minister, we have 90 minutes. If you don't answer our questions now, you will still have to face a scrum, where you will be asked more questions. And it can also be done during question period in the House.
Would you please cooperate with the members of this committee? Did you, or did you not, require the permission of the Prime Minister to travel, particularly when you went to Washington to meet with Jim Albaugh from Boeing and when you worked with the company before the contract was even signed?
