Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to try to share my time with my colleague.
I have a number of questions, but I want to thank all of you for being here today.
Mr. Fellegi, I know that in your role as chief statistician you were instrumental in promoting in the statistics the agenda of women's unpaid work, gender equality, and violence against women, and we all thank you for those efforts.
I have two questions. We heard from Statistics Canada at the end of their presentation just before this. I think I have the quote correct. They say they will not get the same data but will meet the usability requirements. I would welcome your comment on that, which is of considerable concern.
My other questions are to all three groups. The consultation guide, as I understand it, did not mention unpaid work in any way. On the unpaid work, as I understand it, the issue came not from public consultations but largely from private consultations that were held. I'm curious to know whether women's groups got any notice from Statistics Canada, in any way, on the issue of unpaid work and the fact that the removal of question 33 was under consideration, because it seems that it was not part of the overall consultation process. I'll open that up to you.
Dr. Fellegi.
