I did not say that it was not up to Statistics Canada to make decisions on these issues. In fact, Statistics Canada conducts tests, takes recommendations into account, and assesses the possible options very carefully. That is why I mentioned the census tests; the 1993 and 1998 census included a question on language of education. The 1993 census included such a question, and there were two questions in 1998.
An analysis was done, and following the assessment, recommendations were made as to what was possible or not.
