None, and to the best of my knowledge, never anytime before, either. I sometimes jokingly say I've been chief statistician since Confederation. I haven't been chief statistician since Confederation, but I looked at the record, and to the best of my knowledge, there have not been any.
This is an old act, and I want to call your attention to it again, because I hope we can turn our attention to where we go from here. There is a set of very constructive proposals on the table from the National Statistics Council on moving forward. We are facing a problem. The census is literally around the corner, and we have just days for any alternatives to be considered. The alternatives presented by the National Statistics Council of 40 extremely eminent people appointed by the minister seek to address the issue that the member raised and Munir Sheikh has emphasized, which is the right of the government to protect privacy, to establish the right balance.
They are proposing to address those concerns and at the same time safeguard the integrity of the next census. Give us some time, then, beyond that, for consultation and a thoughtful consideration of alternatives--all kinds of alternatives, international examples and others.
