Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My first question is for Ms. MacDonald-Dewhirst.

At the start of your presentation, one of the things you mentioned was data collection, an important factor that allows you to clearly see the areas where you have labour shortages.

Agriculture is not part of the Labour Force Survey, the LFS. Do you feel that the survey is not precise enough to allow you to exactly assess the needs of and fluctuations in the agricultural sector?
