The National Statistics Council has not involved itself in what we would view as operational issues within the agency. If we see problems on things like delivery or process, we'll speak up. Frankly, as I said in my remarks, we don't have the expertise to make a sophisticated judgment about the appropriate case.
However, I will say that as soon as the government announced its intention to make changes to enhance the independence of StatCan, one of the things the working group of which I was a member did was to canvass the former heads of other similar statistical agencies in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. They said they felt a significant element of their independence flowed from their control of their informatic structure, and we passed that forward.
Again, we don't have the capacity or experience to make judgements, but we convey that.
