Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Recently, the Chair of the Official Languages Committee, Mr. Steven Blaney, gave an interview to a CBC journalist. The interview concerned the topic of today's debate. The journalist pointed out that community organizations—I am thinking here of Ms. Sheutiapik, Ms. Kenny and any community organization—should themselves pay to go and get the information that will be missing because these questions will become voluntary, given that this is their area of expertise. Otherwise, there will no longer be data continuity from one census to another. Mr. Blaney replied that indeed the main stakeholders concerned will have to do so, because they are in a position to do so.
Ms Kenny, would the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne be able to go and get the missing information? We understand the scientific aspect of things. Continuity will be broken from one census to another. Do you have the necessary means to go and get the missing information from one census to the other, to help the government to respect its own laws?
