With respect to the census, I note in the document prepared by the Library of Parliament that the population here is more mobile than in the rest of Canada. That means there are a lot of people moving around.
Furthermore, we need accurate numbers to show how many have French as their mother tongue and how many have a knowledge of French, in order to support the programs the minority communities need.
Do you think, either collectively or individually, that a reliable census that provides a lot of details and answers to questions about the population you are serving, is important to have?
