Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech and comments.
There is one thing bothering me about this whole business of Statistics Canada. I believe we all agree on the importance of having reliable and objective data that can be compared over time. However, I am rather troubled by the fact that the chief statistician resigned in most vehement protest over the Liberals not keeping their promise about the independence of Statistics Canada.
Does my colleague share this concern? What does this say about Liberal promises?
