Mr. Speaker, apparently the hon. member did not hear the question about Ontario and Quebec.
Ontario and Quebec together represent two-thirds of the Canadian economy. They represent together two-thirds of the Canadian population. Maybe I need to quote again for the hon. member. Ontario and Quebec are saying, “We believe that the decision by the federal government to eliminate the census long form was a mistake”.
Again, Ontario and Quebec are pleading with the government to reinstate it. What is the government's answer to Ontario and Quebec?
