I think you could get started tomorrow and do some meaningful work. If you have the capacity to say to folks in the federal government, in the finance department and Stats Canada, “Do your best”, a lot could happen.
Now, you may well get important information going through this--I don't know--but my guess is that you'll walk away having heard the pros and cons, that there is no conclusive information and no guarantee that it'll all work out well.... I still think you should do it, because I think you could make progress, even despite those uncertainties.
Whether you make that decision tonight or five months and many hours of your time later, I think you should still make the decision.
