Mr. Speaker, I do not know how many times I can explain this.
With respect, the hon. Leader of the Opposition has given us a list and it has been forwarded to Statistics Canada. I do not know from what he is reading. I would be happy to look at it if he wants to pass it over to me. It certainly did not originate with me.
I can assure him that members of Parliament from all parties who submitted names through their contact person for census commissioner were disappointed with the results of the testing process.
In order to at least give some opportunity to those many people whose names were submitted-and there are many others that have to be hired because those lists would not be adequate-we have asked Statistics Canada to give priority to the qualified people, after testing, that have been submitted through members' offices.
That includes the names the Leader of the Opposition submitted from Roberval.
