Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before you invite the witnesses to speak, I wanted to read out a notice of a motion:
That the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates conduct a study into the provision of sensitive economic data by Statistics Canada to public servants, ministers, and ministerial staff before it's released to the public; that the committee consider the impact this has on market confidence, given the potential for this sensitive data to be utilized for personal gain before its general publication; and that the committee report its findings to the House.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
