I'm not trying to minimize the fact that what happened is very unfortunate and that the loss of the data for those municipalities is not a desirable outcome; I'm not arguing that. Nor is it an outcome that we should dismiss. It's one we're going to make every effort in the 2016 census to reduce to the smallest extent possible. I don't want to trivialize the fact that a significant number of municipalities that would have expected to receive data didn't. It's not something I wanted to happen, and it's something I'm going to seek to avoid to the greatest extent possible in 2016.
