Introduced as a private member’s bill. (These don’t often become law.)
Third reading (House), as of June 3, 2015
(This bill did not become law.)
This is from the published bill. The Library of Parliament often publishes better independent summaries.
This enactment amends the Statistics Act to protect the privacy of Canadians by requiring their consent for the release, after 92 years, of the information that they provide in a census-related household survey, to remove the imprisonment penalty from two of its offence provisions and to provide that a term of imprisonment is not to be imposed in default of payment of a fine imposed under those provisions.
All sorts of information on this bill is available at LEGISinfo, an excellent resource from the Library of Parliament. You can also read the full text of the bill.
