Canada enquiry

You asked

How many of your staff went to Canada within the last year and the grades and job titles of each person.

The cost of flights, hotels, other transport and allowances of each persons visit.

We said

Note that these costs relate to an in depth collaborative inquiry with our peers at Statistics Canada. A number of staff attended as the inquiry was conducted through a series of activities running in parallel. All efforts were made to minimise costs and the value that was drawn from the work will be of major benefit to the organisation.
