Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here today. It's been a great conversation. I think we do agree that there is a lot of data out there. How we collect and then translate that information is something that we are trying to figure out.
We just spoke about different options and different recommendations, picking up on what Marc was talking about, on how we can utilize current assets and current agencies rather than creating an entire new agency to do this. We know that taxpayers are being asked to evermore contribute more to government, and we don't need to continue to grow this government, so that's where I am looking at this on how to go. Stats Canada has a mandate to collect this information and publish it on all sorts of sectors.
How about a different idea, and I open the floor to this. What if we created a user-pay system where those users who want the information can pay into it? We can have that central system that you mentioned, but it is paid for not by taxpayers, but by the people who actually want and need the information.
