Mr. Speaker, I spoke earlier about citizenship. I think that filling out the mandatory long form census is about citizenship.
However, my colleague raises an important point. This information talks about the kind of health care that is needed. We do not want to go to a hospital that is primarily a maternity hospital when the needs are for geriatric individuals. We do not want to see that there are not enough police on the streets or that the allocation of police is not what it should be because we do not have the information.
We want schools and communities to be able to plan so that infrastructure meets the changing needs of communities.
What I am hearing from hon. members opposite is that we benefit by ignorance. We on this side do not accept that.
