Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the two witnesses.
In my riding and in my colleague Paul Lefebvre's, there is SNOLAB, which is a research centre, and Laurentian University, respectively. I would like to thank NRC very much for its support to these two organizations and for all the work it does. We greatly appreciate it.
My first question concerns data. You said there was no national data. Our committee did a study on national energy data.
To help you in your work, do you have any recommendations for us on data collection for Statistics Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada? Have you ever done a study to see if departments can collect better or more recent data, that is, data that is not five or seven years old? Have you ever made any recommendations in this regard?
