Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I have a couple of questions for Statistics Canada. This has been an interesting voyage I've seen over the years. I was part of the complete count in 2000 when I was a city councillor. I found that was particularly important, especially for regions like mine where we have a lot of immigration, multiculturalism, different languages and cultures, and so forth. We actually did the door-to-door canvassing campaign. I was tasked with that by the mayor at that time to help be part of that process.
The value of the long-form census was clear. I would like you to explain the difference between a short-form census and a long-form census with regard to the quality of the data, and what the data could subsequently be used for.
