Mr. Speaker, we are counting everyone. There is still a mandatory census just as there has been since the beginning of this country.
That mandatory census is still going on. It will be going on in May 2011 just as planned. We have a 40-page voluntary long form which will provide useful and usable data as defined by the Chief Statistician of Statistics Canada. Therefore, we are doing our job.
Will the hon. member please explain why he wishes to coerce Canadians to fill out a 40-page form full of private and intrusive questions?
