Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, Mr. Minister. I would also like to congratulate you on your recent act of bravery in saving a person from drowning. I hope you will be equally brave in recognizing that there is a consensus in Quebec, and even outside Quebec, against your decision.
Here is my first question. In an important notice, stakeholders described the loss of data accuracy resulting from your decision to replace the mandatory form with a voluntary form. Could you tell us whether your department has conducted the necessary preliminary studies to assess the consequences of losing the accuracy of the information?
