Good morning, Madam Chair.
The methodology the office uses is very simple. As the Auditor General said, it's based on public data. You must bear in mind that our methodology focuses solely on intangible goods and services. The $169 million and $247 million figures are not associated with any physical good. They really are conservative estimates. Once again, we're talking about 2019. Our methodology is also based on data gathered by Revenu Québec, which uses Quebec's percentage share of total Canadian consumption of intangible goods and services. Our estimate is very conservative.
