Burma has also announced that it will conduct a census in 2014. Although some groups, including Human Rights Watch, have indicated this could have a positive effect there, affecting the ethnic areas, other groups are concerned that the census will further isolate groups by excluding ethnic minorities, such as the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim group of immigrants.
In your view, since the recent 2011 election of a nominally civilian government and the 2012 byelection of the bicameral legislature, will further isolation of ethnic and religious minorities be a key issue for concern? Additionally, what work can be done by the Canadian government to prevent the isolation of ethnic and religious minorities?
