In fact, I think most parliamentarians would agree that it would be considered inappropriate behaviour on the part of public servants serving the government and serving the ministers if they didn't respond to the rules they were given by saying, “Minister, here's my advice, but you've decided on this policy, so that's what we're going to follow; that's what we're going to implement” What I'm suggesting is, the behaviour we've observed is exactly what you'd expect under the rule given.
En fait, je pense que la plupart des parlementaires considéreraient qu'il est exceptionnel que les fonctionnaires au service du gouvernement et des ministres ne tiennent pas compte des règles qu'on leur a imposées en disant : « Monsieur le ministre, voici mon conseil mais vous avez pris une décision et nous allons la respecter.
