It's axiomatic in my mind that it would result in better data if this act is passed for the next census. I agree entirely with Mr. Smith that for 2011 it is too late for this bill. It' has gone too far for it to be reversible. But there is 2016, there is 2021, there is 2026, and all the censuses in the future. They certainly would be better. I'm convinced of that as a professional.
