Thank you, Chair.
My amendment is that Bill C-36, in clause 2, be amended by replacing line 30 on page 2 to line 12 on page 3 with the following:
4.1 The Chief Statistician shall determine the methods, procedures and operations that are implemented by Statistics Canada in carrying out its mandate.
4.2 The Minister may provide written recommendations for the consideration of the Chief Statistician on the statistical programs that aim to collect, compile, analyse, abstract and publish statistics on all or any of the matters referred to in section 22.
