Thank you, Madam Chair.
This is about transparency, and that's what the public wants right now. That's what Canadians are concerned about right now. They feel there isn't any transparency. The government is just throwing things at us, like the issue I raised in recent weeks.
As far as the data are concerned, the government is saying that the information isn't currently collected, but that is precisely why we are proposing this now. We want a dashboard; we want to know whether this is working or not. How can you assess a program when you don't have any data?
This is essential. That's what you do in the private sector. If you want to know whether your product or service is working, you collect and analyze the data. Then you're able to decide whether to keep doing what you're doing. We should do the same thing on our end. I don't understand why the government keeps refusing to collect the data required to properly assess these measures.
