The Honourable Michael Chong says that he did not have an opportunity to obtain data or responses, but we do have the opportunity of having you with us today. Bill C-278 was tabled in the House on May 12, 2006. That is almost a year ago. Your department therefore had an opportunity to undertake studies in order to respond to Mr. Chong's concerns. Did the government ask you to undertake a study—you're bringing us all the statistics—or did it indicate to your department that it had concerns?
On March 1st, 2007. See this statement in context.
