I'll maybe address my question to Mr. Wycks right off the top, then.

Wayne Smith, the chief statistician at Statistics Canada, said, “The national household survey will produce usable and useful data that can meet the needs of many users.”

My question is to Mr. Wycks of the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association. Can you explain why you as an organization, or you as an individual, feel you are in a better position to comment on the data than is the head statistician at Statistics Canada, who said it will produce usable and useful data?
