Yes. I'll do so very quickly by summarizing the remarks made earlier by Ms. Lanthier, the president of the FCFA. She said that a census is just a tool that helps develop public policies.
Mr. Généreux spoke earlier about influencing the cabinet. The federal government is currently exploring the development of public policies that will take the form of a new action plan or roadmap. As part of this initiative, it's certainly appropriate to review the way we use the best tools available, such as a census, to create the strongest possible public policies that address existing issues.
I want to add a final comment about the census. Last year, we noticed how much Canadians rushed to fill in the census form. It was unique, and I don't know what the public meant to tell us through their actions. Moreover, people were disappointed to receive the short form, and I must say I was as well.
To paraphrase Ms. Lanthier, I'm curious to know exactly how much it would cost Canadians, in terms of time and interest, to answer two or three more questions.
