Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is for Mr. Birn. You mentioned the complex web of sources of data, and you identified that as a problem. You talked about the, in essence, fractured nature of data collection in Canada and how data is kept both by provinces and by the federal government, which can lead to duplication.
Australia has the same sort of problem. There's a federal data repository, and then data is kept at the state level in Queensland, in New South Wales, in Tasmania, and so on and so forth. Australia is a federation, so perhaps there's no surprise there.
You also mentioned the U.S. EIA and spoke very positively of it. The United States is a federation. Is there no problem of the sort of complex web that you've identified here in Canada, the fractured nature of data collection? Does it not exist in the United States?
