Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. My first question is for the chief statistician, Mr. Smith.
In your statement, you said that you do not know if the data collected will high quality data. However, I understand that you are taking the necessary steps to collect high quality data.
First, do you believe that the data you will collect through the census will be scientifically based? Second, does the new methodology used have a better or worse scientific basis than the one used in the last census?
