I'll go to the front. You've raised an enormous issue, and I tried to emphasize in my testimony earlier that what matters is the Canadian statistical system. The census is critical because it's the foundation and the benchmark against which we track everything else. The reason that the changes, the independence, and the trust are so important, is that it's not just a question of whether we should do a single survey, change a question in the census, but also, where do we get administrative records? Will provinces...? When you're into issues like homelessness, you need social data, education data, and health data to become the trusted repository of information that may be collected, particularly through administrative records. That's what I think is really at stake here.
