Thank you very much, Lloyd.
Again, thank you for your presentation. Congratulations on your new position.
During yesterday's fall economic statement, Minister Morneau announced some amendments that will be made to the Statistics Act.
One of them that I'd like you to comment on, to reinforce the independence of StatsCan, is the appointment of the chief statistician to a fixed five-year renewable term based on merit.
How will this change benefit the person in this role?
