Mr. Chair, I'm not attacking. I'm just bringing up the facts of the matter. I don't want to agree to a motion that would put the chief statistician in front of me here, given the history that has taken place with your party. I don't know where your party stands on the chief statistician who oversees this information and this process. It's as simple as that. I can't agree to put somebody in front of us right here who could be attacked for something that is supposed to be, basically, part of holding the position and doing their job. That's why I'm questioning that. I want to know specifically whether the Conservative Party agrees with the census or not.
That's a specific thing I'm asking. You don't have to answer it, but it's not an attack. It's a factual thing. I support the long-form census. I support the short-form census. I support the chief statistician. I support the whole department. All those things are on the table for me. I want to know that if I'm supposed to support putting somebody in front of me without the proper tools. I want to know the reasons to be here. It seems odd to me that that's the balance of what you're asking for in this motion.
