Thank you, deputy minister.

I wasn't aware of that change, or else I wouldn't have asked that question.

Finally, I see a line item for about $500,000 on funding for a business data lab. Why does ISED need $500,000 to fund a data lab? Is Statistics Canada not sufficient?

See context to find out what was said next.
