Mr. Speaker, I want to be very sure I understand what you have just said. I think it was very informative.
In other words, you are saying that the Minister of Veterans Affairs could respond today because the government allowed him to do so, but that the Minister for International Trade could not, because the government did not wish him to do so. It prevented him from doing so, but it could have allowed the Minister for International Trade to respond to the question had it so wished.
I know that the government finds this annoying, but that would have been possible, right? That is what you are saying?
