Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today. This has been extremely interesting and very important testimony.
I'd like to extend a special welcome to Ms. Bota from Red Deer. As an Albertan, I know she's been going through a very cold snap like the rest of us, so congratulations on surviving.
The first question I have is around data. I'm going to ask everyone, but I'd like to start with Ms. Allen, if I could.
Ms. Allen, you spoke about Canada being a data-poor country. That's very interesting to me, but I'm curious. Could you expand on that a little? Why do you think that is? What attempts have been made to Statistics Canada and to the federal government to increase our data? What are those key pieces of data that are missing? If you could expand on that a little bit, that would be wonderful.
