Thank you for acknowledging that they would be reasonable questions, because that does indicate that for the kinds of questions we have in mind we will be able to access the answers. Could the minister outline the preparation that officials will complete before each estimates to ensure that the secretary and other witnesses are able to answer such questions. For example, the annual report highlights the number of exemptions and the classes of people. But clearly we're seeking now an undertaking from the government that the kind of information that I've asked about will be available.
