Thank you, Mr. Speaker. An important factor in some financial arrangements with the federal government are territorial population statistics. There are currently two different versions of these statistics. The federal government relies on the figures from the 1991 Statistics Canada census. However, these figures are substantially lower than those prepared by the bureau of statistics. The bureau of statistics uses a combination of information from deaths and births to health care card applications and returns to assess the population.
