Thank you very much.
Thank you for taking the time to be here today. I remember the last time you were here, when we spoke about the importance of a school to a region, to a community. Education is a big part of the vitality of a community. It's really important.
The decision made in the British Columbia case for the right to go to school, to have good numbers, to have good data, I think is important. I think it should ring a bell for this government that right now we don't have good data. With regard to saying that the province has the responsibility, they have other politiques that make it not a priority for them to have good data.
I want to hear from you on why you think it's so important for the federal government to have good data and to make them public so that you can access them and say, “You see? These are good numbers. We need services.” Perhaps you could explain why it is so important.
