I am grateful for the Seneschal's attention, but I am trying to establish whether or not the presented information is correct.  I believe it is accurate, but I also don't want to get going on a line of inquiry if I'm just starting off with bad data.

I know it's frustrating to see me ask the same question, but believe me when I say that it's far more frustrating to have to ask that question over and over.  And that's especially true when it's something that's really important, like this issue!

As I said, I think this is an accurate rendition of the recent public record on immigration.  Can we just confirm that this updated representation of the public record is accurate, as verified by the Minister of Public Records (or the Seneschal on his behalf)?

Tagging in for the Minister of Public Records here.

The Government reiterates the Minister's previous comment:

QuoteThe Member opposite is, by his own admission, a big fan of data and letting numbers speak for themselves, and I think it is fair to say that they do. In light of the fact that the he appears to agree with one of the main points that the Government has been making the entire time -- namely, that there is no single "silver bullet" to fixing the immigration issue -- I will withhold further comment on the numbers or descriptions thereof and let them simply speak for themselves.

If the Member wishes to draw inferences from the data, he is entitled to do so, but the point of Terpelaziuns is to get information from the Government, not to ask for an opinion on an MZ's math or drawing skills, or to engage in Socratic dialogue. (Again, I wonder whether the Member understands that Parliamentary traditions of Question Time are different from the kind of questioning that goes on before committees in the US Congress.)

The Member is also entitled to ask this question, once again, in a new Terp - asking the same Terp over and over again seems to be the fashion. But it might be more useful if the Member would actually get to the point of what he thinks this data shows, and maybe the Government will comment on that.

If the minister would prefer, and considers that the supplementary question has already been answered, then I can make a new thread. It's unclear to me where we are with this, and I think this is a pretty urgent issue. It's also possible that the minister just doesn't have time in this week, in which case I am happy to be a little more patient.

@Munditenens Tresplet , hopefully you are checking your mentions: I wonder if you might weigh in? I'll be happy to accept any ruling, because I really do actually want to continue this line of questioning.
