We collect data for two reasons. First, we want to know whether a particular approach is effective or not and whether we want to continue down that path. Sometimes it's not clear immediately; sometimes it takes a couple of different versions of it, or tweaks to it.
Second, we provide our data throughout government. We also do studies so that we can provide information to our colleagues in different departments and to our provincial and territorial partners. As minister, if I saw a trend that a specific approach was not successful year after year, then I would say we should try something else.
Sometimes it's very difficult to apply what we've learned in one community to another community. For example, what might be successful in the Northwest Territories might be a terrible plan for Toronto. We have to be really careful that we're not applying the lessons that we learned from one area to a completely different area. I have a lot of faith in my department and Linda's ability to do that.
Did you want to add a couple of words, Linda?
