Human Resources committee  It will make it quite difficult. I know there was some interest—I think it was in the Conservative supplementary report—to look at the costs of the recommendations, which is of course an important thing to do. And if you're going to do that, you need to look at the “current” and

Human Resources committee  I would say no, but I also want to go on record that we're supportive of the recommendation to take off the threat of jail terms.

Human Resources committee  Taking out the question on unpaid caregiving will certainly have an impact. Well, I don't know if it will have a direct impact on children, but it will take away some important information that we know affects family income. It affects both children and seniors. In my work in T

Human Resources committee  I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean put questions to individuals or do surveys of their own?

Human Resources committee  I find that totally unacceptable. It doesn't make any sense. Not only do we not have the resources to do it, but the purpose of having that kind of information is broad.

Human Resources committee  On your first question, about the impact of removing the long form, I think it will certainly have an impact on our work, particularly when we look at groups that are highly vulnerable.

Human Resources committee  First of all, I would say I'm not a bona fide statistician, but I work a lot with numbers, and I work with others who do. I think we know that things like drivers licences and other kinds of ID don't tell us very much. I don't think at this point we even have access to any aggreg

Human Resources committee  My apologies. That's my fault. I do have the chart in both languages. I just didn't get it there fast enough. It's basically a bar graph. For example, it shows that for recent immigrants the child poverty rate in 1996 was 58%, in 2001 it was 49%, and in 2006 it was 48%. My point

Human Resources committee  Yes. For Family Service Toronto, in planning our own services, whether it's for women suffering family violence or people with intellectual disabilities, we also rely on this data for helping to project our service needs. I'll stop there. Thank you.
