Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the presenters. That was a great start to our study in terms of the overview and getting a bit of a baseline as we head into a very important area.
First of all, I think that the spring survey is going to be a critical piece of what our picture is. I wonder if you could tell me a little bit more.
You look at people and what they put on their tax returns. Well, I know numerous 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds who will give $50 here and $70 there, and of course that's never reflected, because they haven't kept the receipt or hadn't intended to.
First of all, does the survey give us a picture of those kinds of activities? Do you manage to project dollars and compare that picture to what your Statistics Canada income tax returns say? Does it explore provincial variation at all, and have you gotten in the past any understanding of it? I mean, when I looked at Nunavut, that was a very significant variation. There were significant changes across the provinces. Are some provinces or territories doing something that perhaps could help us in this study in terms of charitable giving?
I think that's a number of questions to start with, but I'd appreciate....
