Mr. Sheikh, I am among many who believe that your integrity, sir, is very much intact, and we thank you for that. But I want to ask you, what led to the resignation? Was it that the minister had forced you, out of the question of principle and integrity, to do something such that you, as an independent arm's-length civil servant of some 38 years, decided that the future of the census at Statistics Canada was very much at stake? Why were you forced to resign, sir?
