One of the reasons provided by the previous government for cancelling the long-form census was that Canadians were not agreeing to fill it in and that they didn't want anything to do with the census. All of a sudden, we have a response rate of almost 98%. That's as good as it gets, and you didn't need to be persistent with Canadians to obtain this response rate.
