Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here.
Professor Bala, I read your brief carefully and would like you to help me interpret chart 1 because right after your presentation—it's not that we want you to go—we will be speaking with representatives of Statistics Canada. I really want to discuss the same figures, and yours are interesting. First, I would like to know whether those figures come from Statistics Canada, or whether these are figures that you compiled yourself in order to produce charts 1, 2 and 3.
