Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for coming today, a beautiful summer's day, and for giving it up to be here. Obviously this is a very important issue.
I'd like to start with Mr. McLeish on a question regarding the Statistical Society of Canada. From what I understand, you have members who work in various areas of statistics gathering and reporting. Who exactly are the members of your society? Maybe we'll start off with that. Can you give us just a brief overview?
I realize that we don't want to take up too much time, but this way we'll establish where you're coming from.
