Well, I think it is critical. I won't speculate on the motive to privatize. I don't think you need to speculate on that. I mean, there's a legitimate reason to look at it. It is intrusive. That's why I'm amazed, when people are asked whether the questions that are floating around are intrusive, that some people are saying they're not. I'm kind of surprised by it, because let's face it, the long form takes 20 or 30 minutes. It asks you private questions.
I personally think it's worth it, and the advisory council thinks it is worth it, because there are benefits from it. But when you're asking people for private information that is taking that 20 or 30 minutes of time, is it the absolute best set of questions? Is it the minimal set of questions? Are they the right sort of penalties? I don't think we're quite there. I think some of those things could be changed.
That's why I'm kind of surprised here. We can go, okay, there are some things that are perhaps not as good as they should be in the long form of the census, but why are we abandoning it? Can we not deal with it and improve that? There are legitimate reasons to question it. There is a legitimate debate that needs to happen here about the intrusion of these questions.
