Should I submit my GRE score although it's not required?

Hello everyone! I intend to apply for the M.Sc. in Statistics at one of the Canadian universities. The department suggests that applicants provide their GRE scores (if they're high enough) though it's not required. I've got 169Q, 148V, and 4.5AWA, and while Q and AWA scores are acceptable, my verbal score is not impressive at all. However, since I'm applying for a quantitative program, I'm not sure whether the admission committee will pay much attention to verbal scores. Should I send my scores anyway? Is there any possibility that low verbal score will hurt my application?
