Mr. Speaker, the Conservative head count in our far north is already under way without the long form census.
As Elisapee Sheutiapik, the mayor of Iqaluit, told the industry committee this summer:
—to keep Canada strong, we need to know how the country is changing, where people live, work, and raise their families. This census helps us do that.
Poverty, hidden homelessness and education are serious challenges for people of the north. How does the government plan to address them with only a head count survey?
