“Madam Chair, I am very protective of my time. I guard it as if it were a pearl. We note that, in the budget, $229 million has been cut from Statistics Canada. I understand that the government has decided to invest elsewhere in science and research, but the last person to make such significant cuts to Statistics Canada was Stephen Harper, as part of his effort to ensure that Parliament and parliamentarians could develop public policies with fewer open data. What does that say about his commitment to science?”
