Mr. Chairman, it is a matter of a cabinet decision. It is in the cabinet record. We do not talk about the process of cabinet decisions. They are within the confidence of the privy council. That is a tradition of this government and all previous governments. It is part of our system. The government stands and stands for its decision. This is a decision of the Government of Canada.
The member is trying to probe within the decision making process of cabinet. That is a matter that is in the confidence of cabinet.
