Thank you, Mr. Chair. Maybe I can get clarification in terms of the mover's intention with respect to the chief statistician, because his party tried to eliminate the long-form census and actually did so under Tony Clement, the former minister of industry. I'm wondering what the relevancy or their intent is with respect to this position, whether they're trying to get rid of the census again or whether or not this is for a witness who they would like to have testify in front of us, given there's a definite conflict in terms of the Conservatives' position on the chief statistician and the Canada census.
