In Canada, we have a census that consists of two questionnaires: a short one and a long-form questionnaire. It is mandatory to complete one or the other of the two questionnaires. That is the very definition of a census. Asking a sample of households to complete a long-form questionnaire is a feature of our census.
I'd like to stress again the importance of data quality. You make important decisions on a variety of issues for Canadians and it is essential that we provide you with the data you need to make those decisions. So we're concerned about providing high-quality data.
