The Chair Liberal John McKay

Let me say that we are straying into the realm of political questions. The minister was here to answer political questions. The officials are here to answer questions pertaining to the estimates.

I'm losing my sense of humour. If you could ask questions pertaining to the estimates, particularly on how we're going to reconcile the votes with the expenditures table, that would be useful. Asking officials to answer quasi-political questions is not appropriate.
