Industry committee Obviously, we work very closely with the bank, with our colleagues in ISED, and with a number of others—Global Affairs, and so on—to understand where those data gaps are. I think we have a very robust relationship with those entities to identify where, in our context in Canada, w

Industry committee Indeed they are.
November 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Anil Arora
Industry committee I think there are a number of issues that essentially lead to where the government's position is and some of the changes in the legislation. You rightly pointed out that one of the four key elements there is to ensure that the independence of Statistics Canada, and obviously the

Industry committee Mr. Smith left nothing for me specifically, in terms of either advice or documents. You have what I have in terms of his public commentary.

Industry committee The second thing is, of course, that the response rate varies by geography. I wouldn't know off the top of my head what the response rate was for Windsor. For many communities, the response rate may be 100% and in other cases it may be a bit lower, but overall the response rate w

Anil Arora
Industry committee I repeat, the response rate that is being quoted by Statistics Canada as 98% is essentially the questionnaires we got back within the universe of the questionnaires we sent out. There are differences, as I said, between the long form and the short form and within the different ge

Industry committee They have absolutely no say. As I've said up front, we've actually put it in the agreement that they have no say in terms of what we have on there or what happens to it.
