For the 788 businesses in Halifax that signed up for Get Your Business Online and the 143 businesses that have published websites online for the first time, they would probably say that the value proposition was something they'd never seen before. It's hard to know why businesses in the United States have seen it. I haven't seen a good comparative analysis.
I previously implied this, but I'll be more direct in answering your question. I actually think there's a lack of national statistical research. We did quite a bit of quantitative research in 1995 on ICT adoption and broadband deployment in this country. For various reasons, a lot of the research has stopped. It would be nice to start it up again, not only to get the picture in Canada but also to make international comparisons and contrasts. In a way, it comes back to this committee as something to think about in terms of its recommendations. For businesses and government, good decision-making is premised on good numbers, and I don't think we have good numbers in this regard for Canada.
On the digital literacy component in particular, I'd pick up on the last question, if I could. I know you have limited time.
