Mr. Speaker, the minister has been talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Last February, the then industry minister bragged to this House about the high response rate to the national household survey stating, “...indications are very promising with the response rate for both the short form census and the national household survey”.
In reality, 12% of communities have response rates below 50%; statistical evidence of the government's failure.
What will the Conservatives do to correct the glaring problem with the collection of this information?
