Good morning.
It's nice to see you again, Janet. Congratulations on your re-election.
To build on the discussion you had with Mr. Lessard, you don't have to convince this side of the table. We believe the mandatory long-form census is the way to go and we should continue with it. It's the other side.... It was Mr. Savage who brought this forward for our discussion here.
One of the issues seems to be this whole question of how you make people comply. It's the question of whether we put people in jail, whether we fine them. There's always the scenario presented to us of the single mother of three children who doesn't fill in the form: do you put her in jail, and that kind of thing?
This is obviously an issue for the government at this time, how you punish those who don't comply. I don't think anybody can come up with an example where somebody actually has gone to jail because they haven't filled out the long-form mandatory.
Maybe one of you could talk to us a bit concerning that particular issue.
