Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the Minister would have appeared before the standing committee, as scheduled, then we wouldn't be asking these questions. Unfortunately, he wasn't available. I don't appreciate the Minister asking what is your point. If he was there, then all of these questions would have been asked at the committee level. Unfortunately, he wasn't available. So now we are discussing his budget to get all this information from him, so we can make certain recommendations to the ministry. That is why I am asking all of these questions. We observed that while he was absent from our committee meeting.
Mr. Chairman, those are the reasons we are asking these questions. We didn't have the opportunity to ask our committee meeting. It is only fair to say that we observed these things. That is why we are asking questions now. I don't appreciate the Minister asking what our point is; if you are going to make your recommendation, make it. We are going to wait until we receive that information from the Minister, before we make any type of recommendations. We didn't have the opportunity during the January review when we were discussing this budget. Mahsi.
