Good morning, Mr. Chair, and thank you.
Good morning to each of our witnesses.
I have just a couple of questions for clarification.
In terms of FNSI, what was the rationale for the development of this new, I believe you used the words, “crown corporation”? I know in the past there's been some angst, I guess, about Statistics Canada and the work they have conducted, particularly on reserves. There were some debates about the accuracy of the information and how it was being relayed.
Is that part of why FNSI came about or are there other reasons? What's the mandate of FNSI itself? I just want some clarification on that.
