It's an important point that goes back to the role of the current National Statistics Council. I'm one of two members on it from Manitoba. We had a few fights break out between Manitoba's statistical agency and Statistics Canada over whether there was an undercount of population. That matters. It means millions of dollars in equalization payments, for example.
Manitoba officials came to me and said, “Let us hear your side. We want to tell you our side of the story.” It turns out that there were methodological disagreements, but I'm saying that's an example of how it helps to have someone in a particular province who's at least somewhat identifiable as a figure of this and who has connections with Statistics Canada but is not on the payroll of Statistics Canada.
That's the kind of thing I would offer as a suggestion for why 10 people is not enough.
