Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses for being here with us this afternoon.
My first question is for Mr. Simard.
Mr. Simard, you are a professor and researcher. I believe you use the data from Statistics Canada. So you know how important it is to have reliable and accurate data.
As we know, the minister's decision is to replace the long questionnaire, which is currently mandatory, with a voluntary questionnaire.
Why are you opposed to the minister's decision?
