The funds are granted based on the Commission's needs. Because its representatives will be appearing before this committee next week, it would be much more appropriate to ask them the question, to ascertain how their operating fund is doing.
However, there is a point on which I agree with you, which is that this is in fact an independent, expert commission. We have confidence in this regulatory body, which is composed of a group of experts who know what they're talking about. The last thing that should be done is to panic as some people have done, exactly.
However, legitimate questions that have been asked and they should be answered. That is why I started by asking the Commission to be as proactive as possible so that information can be distributed to the public. When the opinions of independent experts are paid for out of public funds, my responsibility as the Minister is to make sure that all of the information needed is available to the public. That is what the members of the Commission have done and will continue to do.
