On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, we can't allow this type of questioning of a private individual who has no knowledge, professional or otherwise, of the skill set within the Department of Finance.
We had Mr. Wright here today tell us of the 50 or 60 people in the communications department, but it is outside their responsibility to write political documents. Therefore, with this type of question, to ask a private individual what kind of skill set is inside the Government of Canada, when we already had two deputy ministers here this morning answering that very question and the answer is on the record, it is not for them to speak on behalf of the Government of Canada.
