Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Ms. Martin-Laforge and Ms. Sandilands, for being here with us today.
I want to emphasize what you just said on the importance of being fair and respectful of all the minorities in this country. At the same time, we are in a world where Canada needs to leverage the two official languages and the importance of bilingualism, as my colleague was mentioning, which is very important.
I'm listening to you say that it is hard to measure outcomes, and I would agree with that. Knowing that the government is so diversified that it is very hard to put in real outcomes for all to start, I'd like to hear about whether we have the proper data to start with. In order to set outcomes, we need to have data on our minorities for so many topics. At the same time, for the data, we need to identify the gaps, set objectives, put forward the action plan and then bring in the indicators.
When you say that we want indicators, do you think we have sufficient data? Is that what we need to emphasize to get the data of all the minorities in our country? A trade-off that you want to emphasize here is that data will allow us to know where the gaps are and where we need to take proper action.
