I have a couple more questions. The witness kept saying "the Minister" and "the Minister" but every Department tells the Minister what A, B and C is. It is not a Minister who goes into the Department and states we are going to do 8,000 ha next year. It is the information the officials put together and they advise. Is that not right?
