Again, I'd like to emphasize that I actually don't know what the minister said. I don't know whether or not what he actually said was misrepresenting whatever advice we may have given him.
The point is that Wednesday morning, when I read the story in the media, they started to cast doubt on StatsCan's integrity. It is what I read in The Globe and Mail. As I've said a couple of times, it doesn't matter to me what the minister said; it is what perception is out there and what Canadians believe in that will have an impact on whether I can do my job.
After that story appeared, by the end of that same day, I had resigned from my job. There's a fairly straightforward process for doing that.
