Mr. Chair, I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, but I do want to say that I highly value the Bureau of Statistics. I find that the information they produce is very good. I don’t find it is a consumable maybe the general public grabs upon. It’s usually for those folks like academics and whatnot and those researchers and boring MLAs that are trying to find a crowbar to complain about government. With that said, I’m very grateful.

I just want to put on the stats that that is a shop burrowed into the hollows of government. It does some good work. I just want to thank them for the information they produce. This area never gets any recognition at all. It’s probably for a good reason they don’t tend to get a lot of criticism either. I said for a good reason because they do a good job.

That said, I do appreciate the work they do. I just want to make a point on the record. I’m really glad they keep the information up to date, especially when I remind the McLeod government about the detail. I just wanted to put that out there.
