Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you both, Mr. Sheikh and Mr. Fellegi, for appearing here.
We have a lot of ground to cover, so I'm going to try to keep my questions short, and I would appreciate if you could try to keep your answers short as well.
Would it be a fair assessment, gentlemen, for me to say that in your role as statisticians, it really doesn't matter to you how the information is collected as long as you get the information you need, but that your position is that you believe, in the census, a mandatory requirement is the most effective way to get the information you request? Would that be a fair statement?
