I really appreciate the question. I'll go over it very quickly.
It's not that we use the UN Human Development Index, used by others to compare countries. Somebody had the bright idea about 15 years ago to ask if we could do an index that would compare first nations and other communities, so we have developed—and this is well before my time—something called the Community Well-Being Index, which is the same idea. Pick three, four, or five different numbers, run them through an index, and you will get a sense of the relative states of communities, and if you do it more than once you will start to see whether communities are trending up or trending down.
We have the 2006 data on the Internet, and they would have been the basis for the comparisons that were done. We fully intend to pursue one with the 2011 census data, which we haven't got from Statistics Canada yet, because they've just been in the field, but we hope to be able to do that. Then you're going to have some interesting trend lines for the people who like to crunch numbers and do the analysis.
What it lets you do is precisely that kind of community-by-community comparison. If we find two communities 50 miles apart, one trending up, the other trending down, we can start asking why. What are the factors and conditions? It gives the policy analysts and policy wonks a lot to work with. It gives evaluators a lot to work with. We have the resources secured to do that, and we fully intend it to be available to Canadians and parliamentarians as a way of evaluating progress in this area.
