Thank you, Madam Chair. CIHI is fairly structured in how they report information and they request information from us on all their indicators, and we provide them every piece of detail that we can. Then they go through their analysis process and present their information. They present it in different categories such as hospital-based categories as well as a territorial category. Some information at a territory level, our numbers are such that they can be recorded. Whereas maybe at a hospital level, if they’re too small then they’d be self-identifying so that they may not be reportable. They have some really stringent criteria on what degree of number they will put forward and what degree of number they won’t. That’s where some of the discrepancy, if any, may exist. But we will continue to provide CIHI with their data on a regular basis. They’re an important institution, important organization for helping all jurisdictions in Canada make evidence-based decisions, and we will continue to contribute data to them and everything they ask for. If we can provide it, we will.
