Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
And thank you, Minister, for appearing here.
I have a few questions, but I guess, primarily, I want to go back to something you said in your opening statement. You said that the population estimates provide a more accurate picture of population than the census does.
Now if the intent of the bill is to try to get to a representation by population formula that is more reflective of the population—that's the key right there: what is our population?—can you give assurances to the committee or explain why you're suggesting the population estimates would be more accurate than the census data we would be receiving?
