Mr. Speaker, I see that the minister is getting ready for skating weather, because he is skating around this issue and will not address it.
The law says that he must be notified, but the minister says he was not. The minister is either incapable of managing his own department or officials were hiding things from him.
We know that Statistics Canada makes over $100 million a year selling data to corporations. Did Statistics Canada choose not to tell the minister its plans because it wants to sell this data to large international businesses?
