Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon.
One of the census questions has to do with ethnic identity, although the government has agreed that the response can be “Canadian”. I think that since the diversity of our country is endlessly expanding, this question is no longer relevant.
For example, my six-month old son is of Chinese, Dutch, English and Scottish descent. To identify him as anything other than Canadian would be absurd.
In light of our diversity, does the hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon think that such racist questions and answers still have their place?
