"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4971362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question. It is important to recognize the difference between that policy role and the operations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971363\" data-originallang=\"en\">We all recognize the importance of Statistics Canada and the fine work that it does. In fact, I started off my comments by complimenting Statistics Canada, which is an organization that is recognized around the world for the fine work that it does. Anything we can do to make it that much more arm's length in its operations, enabling that high level of expertise that it brings to the table, the healthier and more reliable the information it gathers will be.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971364\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have trust and confidence, as I know our government does, in the fine work that it does. By allowing the distinction, by listening to what individuals like Professor Paul Thomas, and others, have to say, and making that difference, we will have a better collection of data, that is ultimately more reliable than what we currently have.</p>",

Il importe de faire la diff\u00e9rence entre le r\u00f4le strat\u00e9gique et le r\u00f4le op\u00e9rationnel. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971363\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous reconnaissons tous l'importance de Statistique Canada et l'excellent travail qu'il accomplit. J'ai d'ailleurs commenc\u00e9 mes observations en complimentant Statistique Canada, un organisme dont le travail est reconnu \u00e0 travers le monde. Tout ce que nous ferons pour accro\u00eetre l'ind\u00e9pendance dont il jouit dans ses op\u00e9rations et lui permettre de faire intervenir toute l'expertise dont il regorge am\u00e9liorera la qualit\u00e9 et la fiabilit\u00e9 des donn\u00e9es qu'il recueille. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4971364\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je fais confiance, comme le gouvernement d'ailleurs, au travail qu'il accomplit. En \u00e9tablissant cette distinction, apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9cout\u00e9 l'opinion des gens comme le professeur Paul Thomas, entre autres, nous am\u00e9liorerons la collecte des donn\u00e9es, qui seront alors plus fiables que celles dont nous disposons \u00e0 l'heure actuelle. </p>"
