Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister.

Bill C-36 actually moved the statistical analysis and collection from Statistics Canada to Shared Services.

Do you still support that decision? It is what led to the problem we have now. It's a new data collection, and you're describing it in House of Commons testimony as a “pilot project”. Are you going to confirm right now that this is absolutely a one-time thing that's happening, or now that it's moved to Shared Services this is actually the practice that was in the legislation?
