I have just one minute left so I will try to keep it simple.
Whether there are 11 additional questions is not important. I simply want to know whether we can modify or add one or two questions. I suspect the answer is yes.
That said, the committee has some concern as to preparing the questions that will be tested in the field. What happens if, after testing three questions, the results are not what was hoped for? There might not be enough time to manoeuvre, meaning that we would lose the opportunity to do something in the 2021 census.
I have an idea. I don't know if you have heard this before. We are talking about preparing two, three or four scientific questions to obtain the maximum data. You are the experts on this. Would it be possible, however, to work with the francophone community? You mentioned that. Are you open to the idea of working with the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada, with four or five other associations that truly represent what is happening on the ground, and perhaps also with a French-language school board? Would it be a good idea to analyze the questions and to have discussions with two or three groups on the ground? It would not be a consultation strictly speaking, but a discussion with experts on the ground to see if the questions are good. That would increase the likelihood of these questions proving successful in the subsequent test.
Mr. Chair, can the witnesses have another 30 seconds to reply?
