Thank you.

I'll just continue on that line of coherent data and data that's the same across the country.

Statistics Canada is a federal agency. We have institutions like universities and colleges that collect data, and they're being overseen by provinces that perhaps are collecting data.

Can you give us an idea of the scope of that difference? Are we dealing with differences between different universities and colleges versus Statistics Canada, or do the provinces have different datasets that need to be standardized as well across provincial boundaries? How difficult is this?
