Mr. Chairman, I think I am saying the same thing as Ms. Lee. I am not saying we will do our own and hand them the data, but we need to have Northerners working with Stats Canada. Stats Canada, from what I can gather, follow much the same system in small communities in the North as they do in small communities in the south. They knock on the door. If people answer, they will try to fill out the form with them. If they are not home, they hang it on a doorknob and ask that you send it in. That does not work in our communities. We need to convince them that we will work with them to get a way that is more effective that does not distort their statistics in the long run. Thank you.
