Yes.
We've just heard from one of the witnesses in terms of a response, but let's try to keep to seven minutes in the opening round and five throughout.
Again, I do want to say that certainly Ms. Griffiths can answer to anything she wants, but when it comes to departmental officials, if you're asking for policy advice and policy direction, Mr. Cullen, that's our job. I mean, that is why we're having this study, so that we can recommend policy to the government. The purpose of the witnesses in this hearing is to get information for us to base those questions on the policy.
I think you got a very good answer to your question. I just don't want to put particularly departmental officials on the spot to have to respond in terms of policy answers. They're here to provide technical information. I think they've done a very good job of that. And there's lots more room for questions, too, because there was considerable difference amongst the witnesses, even, in some of the data they provided.
So if we want to nail down technical areas, and differences of opinion on technical questions, I suggest that those kinds of questions would be helpful to the committee. It's our job as committee members to make policy recommendations; it's not particularly the job of government officials.
