Why don't I start with the last question first?
We did come out very strongly at the time of the cancellation. We supported the original long form census. We disagreed with the idea that it should be moved without a careful look at the data quality that could come out of it. We don't think it's a huge issue for the small-business owners, in particular, because a lot of that is trend information.
I think there's tremendous information still within the national household survey. There are some identified weak spots. I think they're pretty well known at this point, but there's still a lot of valuable information. The biggest problem is, to what degree are you able to see trend information from previous census runs, and so on? While we would have preferred to see a continuation of the approach of the long form census, we don't think it is a huge detriment to small firms moving forward, because they want a perspective that looks forward as opposed to one that looks back.
On your first question, it's difficult to say. We haven't had any direct contact with our members about data.gc.ca. I found it....I understand. I've put together website structures and data structures before. I know how challenging it is to present information to a wide audience that has very different needs and interests. It's very difficult to organize that kind of data. We think it's a good start, but the government will have to look at ways of seeing which datasets are used, and also look at it from the perspective of the customer. We think it probably could be improved in the future, but I can't give you any concrete suggestions at this point because a lot of this is trial and error.
