From my perspective the long-form census provides a lot of information about the status of people's wellness and health, their socio-economic conditions, their living conditions, and a number of factors that are going to interplay with women's equality.
I think the more data you have about the wellness of people, and you can actually then desegregate it by gender.... It gives us a sense of things across the country with regional comparators of how women are doing in a number of ways. The more data you have, the more you can actually break it apart.
For example, if you're looking at housing security, you can actually break that apart and say that women from 24 to 35 who live in the Northwest Territories have experienced extreme housing insecurity. Another example would be seeing a real underemployment of women who are 16 to 24, particularly in the Alberta region. You can also look at what kinds of sectors people are employed in.
All of that data gives us a better snapshot on how women are doing across all of our various mandates and portfolios. Of course, those things intersect with vulnerability. As people are more economically secure in a better housing situation, for example, they may still experience domestic violence, but they most likely will not experience it in a prolonged way. They will have more assets to be able to move on in their lives.
