Under Canada's Statistics Act, any information acquired by Statistics Canada under that act is strictly confidential. It cannot be demanded by the courts or the police. Anybody who's going to be in contact with that information has to be sworn under the Statistics Act. They're subject to jail terms and financial penalties in addition, obviously, to being fired if they were to willfully or negligently disseminate that information.
As Mr. Masse pointed out, at one time we looked at using an external firm on our site under our supervision. In the process, we ultimately backed out of that; it did not happen. We've completely taken over the operations that the firm used to do. In 2011 and in the current census, there's no outsourcing to a private sector company. In 2016 the only organization involved in our operations for the census or for any of our other collection operations is Shared Services Canada.
