Mr. Chairman, I'm sorry. I have a point of order. I'd like to clarify this.
It's my understanding that when the minister appears on estimates we are free to ask the minister anything within the portfolio of public safety. In his opening statement the minister referred to many things that were beyond the estimates, including the pardon bill—all sorts of things. So I think we need to be clear that our questions do not have to be restricted to the estimates; it's established in this Parliament, absolutely, that we can ask questions on the portfolio.
