Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. d'Entremont, you said that you would like to see the demographic weight preserved in New Brunswick.
Are you aware there's a StatsCan warning box saying that on census data, “Data users are advised to exercise caution when evaluating trends related to mother tongue and home language that compare 2011 Census data to that of previous censuses”? This is because of the changes to the way that this census was done and the abolition of the long-form census.
Here's my question for you. On the data we have, are they reliable enough to use to go towards the preservation of the demographic weight in New Brunswick?
