Yes, it is. It's a combination of the intrusiveness of some of the questions that are being asked in the 40 pages of the long form and the fact that if you object to some of those questions or wish to decline to answer those questions, the threat is fines and/or jail time, up to three months in jail.
That is in fact used by census takers. I was speaking to a former census taker on the weekend who indicated that they were instructed to use those threats of penalties quite a lot if they encountered resistance from Canadians. So it is part of their repertoire to threaten the jail time, threaten the fines.
For some people who may be new Canadians who have escaped from hideous regimes, they see this as a very real threat. This one census taker told me this story about how people were in tears, absolutely terrified of being deported if they didn't fill out the long-form census. So there are instances of that fear.
I don't think government should be around, for law-abiding Canadians, to instill fear. I think we should encourage people and use non-coercive methods if we want data from them. That's simply our position, and maybe that's a great disagreement that we have with our friends in the opposition.
