Thank you for your question.
I think there are a number of possibilities. I do not have a clear-cut opinion on how to proceed, but I think centralizing information is extremely important in order to have consistent data.
Above all, I think it is vital to have national standards and a federal institution to make sure we have statistics for Canada and for all the provinces so we can have energy data for each province. The first thing to do, I would say, is for the federal government to set national standards that the provinces would follow.
Could certain aspects be decentralized? Absolutely, but I do not think that is necessary. The National Energy Board is based in Calgary, and there is no problem with that. A statistics office could be based in Toronto, Ontario, or in the Maritimes. The key is having detailed, national coverage of the various issues, something we do not currently have.
