Subject: Township fA seguin
Good afternoon, Ms. weeks

As per your telephone caU, the following Is the problem that we are having:
Stats Can's 2006 Census Data for the Township of seguin Indicates an average Household Income (for
permanent households) In 2005 fA $99,336 (with a standard error of $36,356 or 36.6%, compared to
standard errors In other munICIpalities of around 3%)i attached are the tables from the Statscan website
showfng segUin's, Pany Sound's, and the Province d Ontario's Incomes. One of the dissemination areas
within the Township apparently has an average household Income of $226,000, which we find very hard to
believe. FIrstly, we believe that our Average Household Income Is oompletely Incorrect, and does not reflect
the reality of the population In the Township. From there, this ftawed average has been used by the M1nstry
of Rnence In Ontario to determine the Income Threshold Component of our OMPF funding In 2009; the
effect fA this large average Is to 0Jt this portion of our 2009 grant by approXimatley $300,000. We have
asked StatsCan to review the data that was used to calculate this averagei the response, we have just been
Informed, Is that once the data Is released, Statsean does not make changes.
The Ministry of FInance has advised that they will not adjust our grant until Stascan provides more accurate
data. The conversations we have had with Stascan to date Indicate they are surplsed that the Province will
rely on Average Household Income to generate municipal grants. We were hoping thaI: Statscan could make
an adjustment to our eYer1lge Income, and therefore reduce the standard error, which would result In seguin
getting Ifs proper share of provincial funding.

We feel there is an error and that our municipality should not be penalized to this degree. Just to give you
an Idea, the loss of $300,000 to our Township would result In a tax Increase of over 3 percent In 2009, just
for this one Issue. I am sure that Minister Cement understands the sensitivity of taX Increases at this time
and we need his help to resolve It.
• • • • •wouId like to meet WIth Minister Cement as soon as possible, as we have a budget
meeting scheduled for February 2/f19, and this is a huge Issue for our 2009 budget.
If you need any further information, please contact either me_ _

Dear Honourable Minister Prentice;
I am writing to express the Coamty of Vermilion River Council's coocem regarding the
accuracy of the 2006 Federal Census as well as the census process. I would also like to
offer some suggestions for improving the result thus overcoming some of the current
shortcomings and deficiencies.
In 2007 The County of Vermilion River, located in north eastern Alberta, received the
2006 federal census results &om Statistics Canada stating our municipality's population
was 7467 - a decline &om the 2001 Census figure of7524. Not satisfied that this was an
accurate reflection of our population the County of Vermilion River conducted 8
municipal census in the spring of 2008 and determined the population to be 7900, which
reflects an increase of 5.8%. We recognize that there is a two year time frame difference
but even with that we believe that the 2006 census understated the actual case. Since the
majority of our funding from the Federal and Provincial governments is per capita based
you can understand why a municipality is concerned when their census is not an actual
reflection of what exists. Another concern is the length of time (one year) from when the
Federal census is taken 1D1til the infonnation js released to the municipalities. If the
population numbers are illBCCW'ate how can a municipality have confidence in the other
statistical information that is collected? All levels of govenunent rely on the federal
census information to plan and base their programs and decisions oD, consequentially
municipalities are forced to do their own census in order to maximize funding dollars.
We are aware of a mnnber ofAlberta municipalities who have had the same concern and
have done their own census over the last two years. This results in duplication of costs
and effort whereas if a little more effort was taken on the part of the federal Census
process to improve the accuracy, everyone's confidence would be increased.
From our own experience, OW' census workers identified that it was very difficult to find
people at home. Extra effort was required to make contact with the residents to confinn
the nwnbers living in each home. Even with the extra effort there were a few who refused
to be enwnerated and other who were never contacted. We are much more cpnfident that
our workers were able to adUeve a high level ofBCCW'aCy.

Currently there can be duplication of the time and effort if municipalities find they must
conduct a c:ensus to obtain accurate infonnation. We would ask that consideration be
given to possible changes to improve the census process and to improve the accuracy,
possibly by:
1. CommittiDS the resources (financial and time) to achieve an accurate census which
will build confidence by all who usc the information - possibly by working with
municipalities to obtain enwnerators who know the region in which they are doing
their census and are diligent to insure an accurate oount.
2. Coordinating the census with municipalities, allowing each municipality to manage

the census process insuring an accurate enumeration for all leveb of governments'
confidence.
Accurate census numben are I:ritical for all agencies of governments and those who rely
on census data to have confidence when using the statistics for their business planning,
projections and decision making.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: lockheed and census
Dear Hon. Jim Prentice
As a citizen of Canada, I was shocked to discover the connection
between Lockheed Hartin (one of the world's largest weapons
contractors) and the 2006 Census in Canada. Part of the multi-million
dollar bUdget for the Census was awarded in contracts to Lockheed
Martin for census data collection software and services. While some
Canadians protested the American company's involvement in the 2006
Census, most Canadians were unaware of how their tax dollars were
being spent. I find it unethical and unacceptable for Lockheed Martin
to have any involvement in the Canadian Census. This corporation '
directly profits financially from the misery, death and destruction
currently ongoing in Iraq and Afghanistan. By building and sellIng
weapons of war (such as cluster bombs and depleted uranium shells)
that maim, poison, and kill human beings, Lockheed Martin contributes,
to the escalating international violence in our world, and does so
while making billions of dollars.
The bidding for the 2011 Census contract 1s now open, and Lockheed
Martin will certainly be a contender.
I am personally greatly concerned about this issue. Therefore, if
Lockheed Hartin is involved in the 2011 Census, my conscience will not
allow me to participate in the Census. If this American weapons
manufacturer is awarded any contracts for the Census, I will protest
by minimal cooperation methods or by refusing to submit my census
form.
As a Canadian citizen who is dedicated to peace, I request that you do
everything in your power to ensure that Lockheed Hartin receives
absolutely no part of the 2011 Census contract. I ask that the
contract for this census be awarded to companies that have no
connection to munitions, bombs, guns, missiles or any other weapons of
war. Please use your position and influence to ensure that our 2011
Census is not tainted with Lockheed Martin's technology of violence
and destruction.
In the past Canada has been known for Peacekeeping; let's continue to
strive for peace and non-violence in a world that needs it so
desperately, on all levels of business and government.
Sincerely

They are made of sterner stuff.
ey n t 1 ou t e r OrMS ecause they objected to Lockheed
Martin being outsourced by Statistics Canada to upgrade the software and
do a lot of the processing of the 2006 census.
Lockheed Hartin makes its prophets by killing people and I object having

are getting a lot of favorable publicity. Next time

Ifyour client wishes to go ahead, could you please infonn him that the "Highest Level of Schooling"
variable no longer exists. It bas been replaced with "Highest Cenificate. Diploma or Degree". The
"Occupation variable - 1991 Standard Occupational Classification (Historical)" has also been
replaced by the NOC-S. Caution should also be exercised ifyour client plans to compare the data.

O. .nDeI ....tro Now, in indicating well, irs no longer mandatory, well, the bottom line is. The Current
Conservative MP as the chief statistician said, even though It was mandatory, there were CeCRadio
some that found it intrusive and didn't respond. So I would suggest we (Toronto)
could in fact get a much more accurate picture and I would also suggest July 14, 2010
that the information that is being collected in the mandatory census form
will in fact continue to provide the govemment with the information...and
all levets of government, with the information that it needs including
some of the infonnation that she's indicating that we wouldn't have for

Dean Del Mastro I think the main point here, the main point is, why does the The CUlTBnt
Conservative MP government.. why under threat of prosecution is the government CBC Radio (Toronto)
requiring intrusive information about Canadians. I think thafs July 14, 2010
something that if Canadians chose to divulge it, they can and if
they don't want to disclose it. they shouldn't have to.
Dean Del Mastro I can't speak to the total numbers because I don't have that The Current
Conservative MP information but what I can say is we agree with those persons cac Radio (Toronto)
that have came forward and said under threat of prosecution, I'm July 14, 2010
being asked how many rooms are in my house. Under threat of
prosecution, I'm being asked, how long does it take me to drive to
work. Under threat of prosecution, I'm being asked how far am I
from mv iob.
Dean Del Mastro What we are doing is we are extending the short fonn census. It The Current
Conservative MP is mandatory to all Canadian households. Those eight questions cac Radio (Toronto)
on the short form census will be responded to in the same.. the July 14, 2010
same manner as they've always been. We're extending a
national housing survey. The long form census went out to a
much smaller group of Canadians. We're going to extend the

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 51; 1 ~ 2007

TO: The Honourable Jim Prentice
Minister Responsible for Statistics Canada
FROM: Ivan P. FeJlegi
SUBJECT: 2006 Census· release of personal ansus information after 92
years
During the late 1990s, a number of genealogical associations,
researchers and other interested individuals started a campaign to express
dissatisfaction with their inability to access historical census records after 1901.
Following extensive consultation, the Government decided that there was a need to
amend the Statistics Act to eliminate any legal ambiguity concerning the
confidentiality status of historical census records.
The Statistics Act was amended in 2005. The amendment provides for
access to historical census records for the period 1911 to 2001 inclusive, 92 years
after each census. Starting in 2006, the consent of Canadians is required in order for
their census infonnation to be released 92 years after the census is taken. There is
also a provision for a parliamentary review of the administration of that requirement
after two censuses i.e., after the 2011 Census.
The amendment reflects a careful balance between three competing
needs: the desire of genealogists for access to individual census returns, the right of
Canadians to the privacy of their personal information, and the compelling need of
Statistics Canada to be able to reassure Canadians regarding the present and future
confidentiality of their census information without which neither the completeness
nor the accuracy of the reSUlting information can be assured.
2006 Census
The 2006 Census included, for the first time, a question that gave
Canadians the option of choosing to have their census information transferred to
Library and Archives Canada and made publicly available in 92 years. The response
to this question shows that, nationally, 56% of Canadians replied "yes", 32% said
"no" and 12% left the box blank. The question was explicit that a non-response would
be treated as a denial of consent to release census information in 92 years.
... 2

In preparation for the 2006 Census. Statistics Canada agreed to

undertake a number of activities to ensure that Canadians were adequately infonned
about the 92-year consent question. and what their choice of response would mean 10
fuime generations. With nearly 90% of the population providing a clear response. it
is my belief that Statistics Canada lived up to and succeeded in its commitment of
informing Canadians about the importance of answering this question. There is no
evidence to support an argument that Canadians made their choice to either provide
or deny consent other than with sufficient knowledge of the impact of their response
to this question
Current situation
Genealogists are unhappy that only 56% of respondents indicated

"yes" to release of their personal information in 92 years. They partially attribute this
to Statistics Canada not having encouraged Canadians to answer "yes". and to the
wording of the question itself. The British Columbia Genealogical Society has asked
to have the parliamentary review of the administration of the question now instead of
waiting until after the 2011 Census as intended by the legislation. They want the
review now because they feel "the integrity. completeness and future research value
of the 2011 and later Censuses will be compromised" unless the consent provision is
removed. It is expected that other genealogical societies and historical associations
will support this direction. The explicit objective of the requested review is to remove
the right of Canadians to indicate their choice about the future confidentiality of their
census returns.
Statistics Canada has provision for and procedures in place to pennit

people to change the response they put on their 2006 Census fonn to this question.
Forms and instructions are available on the Statistics Canada website. Changes can be
made up to the time of the release of the information in 92 years. To date. 160
individuals have submitted a mJuest to change their original answer. 64% of requests
changed a no answer to a yes. 11% changed a yes answer to a no and the remaining
25% provided the same answer or provided an answer for a question left blank.
Genealogists and historians are free to promote the use of these mechanisms.
Furthermore. Statistics Canada can and has offered to work with genealogists and
historians on the fonnulation of the consent question on the 2011 census form.
Recommendations
1. We find no substantive argument that compels an immediate parliamentary
review at this time. 32% of the population explicitly denied consent, with a
further 12% not having provided explicit consent. Their choice, implicitly or
explicitJy cannot be ignored or discounted. Provisions are in place to allow a
change in response should Canadians feel a need to do so.

2. Statistics Canada continues to work constructively with historians and

genealogists on the wording, instructions, promotional materials and
background information for the 2011 Census. As with any content, this will
be done in the context of maintaining the integrity, data quality, and utility of
the entire Census questionnaire for current and future needs. This does not
require a review and should provide opportunities to further reduce the
number of responses which were left blank.
I have an enclosed a draft letter to the British Columbia Genealogical

Society for your approval and signature that reflects this approach. I have also
enclosed my response for your information.
I would be pleased to provide further information.

The Honourable Maxime Bemier, p.e., M.P.

Ottawa, Ontario K1A OM
Dear Minister:
The Board of Directors of the British Columbia Genealogical Society urges you to support an
early review of the effect of the 'Informed consent' clause in the 2006 Canadian census.
Statistics Canada initially promised that their publicity campaign would encourage Canadians to
answer ·yes" to the "informed consenr question, thus agreeing that the census information they
provide can be available to public access after 92 years. This encouragement did not occur, and
the result for future genealogists will be devastating. They will have access to less than 56% of
the 2006 canadian census, based on the tally of ·yes· responses released by Statistics Canada.
12% of canadians did not answer the question at all. Non-responses have been counted as
negatives. An enumerator visited many respondents. Those enumerators might have advised
respondents of the fulUle research value of Historic Census records and encouraged a positive
response to the 'informed consent' question. It will be a tragic blow to Canadian history if the
2011 census yields the same result We must see a review now!
The census provides a rich and comprehensive picture of Canada's population, and its value to
historians and genealogists is immeasurable. Its integrity is in its completeness.
Bin 5-18, passed in 2005,lmposed an 'informed consent' question for future Censuses.
Historians and genealogists across canada agreed not to oppose inclusion of this clause in order
to expedite access to post-1901 censuses. Also incfuded was a provision for a review of the
clause's administration and effect not later than two years before the third Census taken after the
coming into force of Bill 5-18. We ask that this review be undertaken nCYN, before the integrity,
completeness and future research value of the 2011 and later Censuses is compromised.
Please support our request for a review of this clause and its impact on the information to be
released in future.
Yours sincerely,
Betty Allen Frances Ingram Kenneth liVingstone

I am writing in response to your letter of July 1,2007, addressed to my

predecessor, the Honourable Maxime Bernier, concerning the informed consent
question on the 2006 Census questionnaire.
The Statistics Act requires the consent of Canadians in order for their census
information to be released 92 years after the census is taken. As you are aware,
Statistics Canada released results of this question on March 13lh, 2007.
Nationally, 88% provided a clear response to the question, with 56% of
respondents replying "yes" and 32% replying "no". Only 12% left the question
blank even though the question clearly stated that a blank response meant "no".
In preparation for the 2006 Census, Statistics Canada agreed to undertake a

number of activities to ensure that Canadians were adequately informed about the
92-year consent question, and what their choice of response would mean to future
generations. With nearly 90% of the population providing a clear response, it is
my belief that Statistics Canada lived up to and succeeded in its commitment of
informing Canadians about the importance of answering this question. I have
asked Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi, Chief Statistician of Canada, to provide you with
additional information on Statistics Canada's activities.

While the legislation stipulates that a parliamentary review be undertaken after

two censuses, I understand that the British Columbia Genealogical Society is
requesting that this review be undertaken now. This request is based on concerns
that the low positive response rate in the 2006 Census will be devastating for
future genealogists and that the integrity, completeness and future research value
of the 2011 and later censuses will be compromised.
Although I understand the importance of historical and genealogical research, an

immediate review of the legislation would not appear warranted, given that 32%
of the population explicitly denied consent, with a further 12% not having
provided explicit consent Their choice, implicitly or explicitly cannot be ignored
or discounted.
Statistics Canada has provisions for and procedures in place to permit people to
change the response they put on their 2006 Census form to this question at
http://www12.statcan.calenglishlcensus06/referencelinfolchange.cfm.
Genealogists and historians are free to promote the use of these mechanisms.
Your comments have been provided to Statistics Canada staff working on the
content and planning for the 2011 Census. I would suggest that the British
Columbia Genealogical Society join with other interested historians and
genealogists in working with Statistics Canada on the 2011 Census.
I thank you for writing on this important matter.

POLICY ON RESPONSE TO FORMAL REVIEW REQUEST OF 2006
CENSUS POPULATION AND DWELLING COUNTS
When Statistics Canada releases population and dwelling counts from the census,
data users sometimes question the validity ofthe coUIits for a particular
geographic area such as a municipality (census subdivision) or sub-municipal area
(designated place).
Policy
1. Statistics Canada will investigate each request for fonnal review.
2. In cases Where no significant errors in the population and dwelling counts are
detected, S~cs Canada will confirm the published census counts with a
written explanation.
3. In cases where errors in the population and dwelling counts are confirmed,
Statistics Canada will provide the results ofthe research and the revised
counts. Statistics Canada will also notify the appropriate province or
territory, and any other municipalities or places a:ffeeted,ofthe revised
counts.
4. Statistics Canada Will document the error detected and provide errata
statements for the affected areas. However. Statistics Canada will not correct
the census database and data products if errors are found. Errata statements
will be published on the Statistics Canada website. .
5. Stat,istics Canada will not n>eIlUUlerate a community In order to resolve

formal review. The.census is a major 'lmdertaking tha. is uniquely valuable
because it records dwelling counts and population characteristics for every
municipality in Canada at a single point in time (Census Day) using standard
definitions and procedures.
SupportiDg ~UJDeDtatiOD
When ~ the request for a review ofpopulation and/or dwelling census

counts, Statistics Canada requires supporting documentaJion which substantiates a
potential error. Supporting doCl:lD1e.ntation could be in the form of: .

addresses, b¢lding permits, election lists);
• recent ~ocal census counts, including details ofthe methodology and
concepts used to assess their comparability to those used by Statistics
Canada to ensure coherent results on a nationa1 basis..

counts should b.c made by contacting the nearest Statistics Canada office:

Dear Hon. Bernier:
I recently received correspondence fro for the Municipal District

of Lesser Slave River No. 124, wishing to to my attention his displeasure with how
the 2006 Federal Census had been conducted. _ a l s o stated this should be of
great concem to the federal govemm.ent as his view is shared by multiple municipalities
in the Province ofAlberta.
The Federal number for his oommunity is exactly the same as the previous 2001 number
of2820. _ _ finds this rather odd &IJd there is no means to appeal this number.
Implications of faulty numbers mean reduced grants to the Municipal District and faulty
figures for statistical, developmental and economic purposes. Other municipalities have
forthwith engaged individuals to conduct a municipal census following Alberta
Municipal Affairs process, such as the Town of Sla",e Lake. The cost to conduct a census
is cost the M.D. hoped not to have to expend but is now considering.
concern is that the methodology to do the census was such that multiple
CitizenS were missed. While, some of this is anecdotal, enough of this form ofevidence
has accumulated, which makes a reasonable penon skeptical of the obtained result.
_ _ respectfully IeqUests that considemtion be given 10 allow municipalities to be

engaged in the planning and impJementation of future federal census. Each municipality
knows its geography where its ci1izeDs are located, and how to locate them. This would
ensurethe principle of complctmcss is satisfactorily pursued; something.;}
was remiss in the 2006 census.

Mr. Brian Jean, M.P.

Dear Mr. Jean:
The Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister Responsible for Statistics
Canada, has asked me to respond to your letter of June 4, 2007, in which you brought
to his attention your CO)1cems about the validity ofthe 2006 Census population and
dwelling counts for the Municipal District of Lesser Slave River No. 124.
I would like to assure you that Statistics Canada's primary objective is
to ensure every municipality in Canada has the best lX>ssible count of its lX>pulation
and dwellings so th8l they serve a number ofimportant functions.
Statistics Canada has a process in place to review the lX>puIation and
dwelling couuts in those cases where a commWlity may have serious concerns with
the census results. This process requires a formal request with substantiating
information from the concerned community. I have enclosed a copy ofthe policy for
your information.
I have asked Mr. Mike Griffin, Assistant Director tions for the
Western Region of Statistics Canada to coma the Municipal
District of Lesser Slave River No. 12 Once we have those
details, Statistics Canada will be able to look. into the matter. We will communicate
our findings, including any revisions should they be warranted, to both the Municipal
District of Lesser Slave River No. 124 as well as the Province ofAlberta as soon as
they are available. .

With respect to the concerns expressed in your letter that multiple'

citizens were mi;ssed, I would like tc? outline the process followed in conducting the
Census. A3 a first step, Statistics Canada physically verified each address once and
in some cases twice where there was high-growth to ensure that We had a complete
list of addresses in areas where Canada Post delivered the questionnaires.
Households which were not in a mai1~ut area received a questionnaire from a
Statistics Canada field enumerator. .Asl.y Qousehold not responding within a
reasonable time was repeatedly visited by a Statistics Canada enumerator until a
completed questionnaire was obtained, thus ensuring a good count of the usual
number ofresidents in the dwelling.
A number of additional measures were taIcen in the 2006 Census to

ensure good quality results. These included extending the collection period ,and our
public communications program, as well as reassigning staff from other areas to '
ensure a good quality' enumeration to compensate for the recruitment and staffing
challenges. ' ,
Statistics Canada also conducts a series of studies to estimate how

many persons may have been missed in the Census. The results of these studies,
which will be available in September 2008, are reflected in Statistics Canada's
population estimates. It is these population estimates that include adjustments for the
estimated number ofpersons mj.ssed in the Census that are used in determining
transfer payments to provinces and territories.
Thank you for writing on this important matter. Please be assured

that we take this matter seriously and have devoted e¥ertise and resources
appropriately.
Yours sincerely,
Ivan P. Fellegi

I have been asked to respond to your letter of March 19, 2007, to the Honourable
Maximc Bernier, Minister Responsible for Statistics Canada, concerning the
recently released population figures for the Village of Clinton.
I would like to assure you that the me1hodology used by Statistics Canada in the
conduct ofthe Census is applied consistently across the country, is subjected to
numerous quality con1ro) processes, and provides the best count of the resident
population in May 2006. The same rigor, support mechanisms, and ultimately
door to door enumeration for anyone that did not complete their questionnaires
on-time was applied in 2006 as in previous Censuses.
Statistics Canada worked closely with BC Stats in the certification of the 2006
Census results, taking into account differences between various sources of
information in the definitions and methodology used to determine the population
of a community. According to Mr. Don McRae, Director of Be Stats, "Be Stats
has full confidence in the methodology and quality control measmes applied by
Statistics Canada in the conduct of the 2006 Census. Census data represent the
gold standard in enumeration, and users should not directly compare them to
estimates' from other sources."
Canada 000072

It is important to note that the Census uses a de jure method to count people, that
is at their usual place ofresidence, and does not include people in the community
on a temporary basis-such as students, transient workers, or those staying for
shortoodurations in seasonal dwellings. This method ensures that people are
counted once and only once at their usual place ofresidence, in a consistent
manner across the country.
Statistics Canada conducts a series of coverage measurement studies after each

Census to estiniate the number of people missed in the Census. The current BC
Stats numbers are based on.the 2001 Census data adjusted for persons missed in
2001, and for population change obtained from administrative records (hydro
connections) since 2001. Statistics Canada has been informed that Be Stats will
align its 2006 community population estimates with the 2006 Census once
estimates ofnct census undercount are released by Statistics Canada in fall 2008.
In fact, the Department of Finance uses the population estimates which are
derived from the census population cOunts and the results of the coverage studies
to calculate federal tninsfer and equalization payments to the Provinces and
Territories.
In those cases where a community continues to have serious concerns with the
census results, even after factoring the definition (usual resident population) and
potential adjustments for missed persons, Statistics Canada is willing to review
the situation with the commlmity. In this specific case, discussions" are underway
with Mr. Chris Loat from our Western Regional Office who has been provided
with your boundary expansion map prepared for the BC Government and passed
by order on March 27, 2006. I also \Dlde.rstand that he has been provided some
addresses to confum enumeration. Please be assured that we take this matter
seriously and have devoted expertise and resoU1'CCS appropri~ly.
I would also like to assure y()u that Statistics Canada, and not any private
contractor, was directly responsible tor the coJ1ection, processing and handling of
any confidential data collected during the census. All questionnaires and data
were handled by Statistics Canada staff exclusively at secure Statistics Canada
sites within Canada. The" work that Statistics Canada contl'aCted-out to the private
sector for the 2006 Census was strictly limited to the provision of hardware,
software, printing and support services. As such, no private sector contractor was
ever in possession of completed census questionnaires at any time. The security
000073
· . I" .IIH ,. I -.l
measures and processes in place using contmetor furnished systems were

independently assessed by a Task Force on ITSecurity Verification headed by
the former Auditor General of Canada, Mr. Denis Desautels. The Task Force
concluded that "Canadians can trust that the information gathered during the 2006
Census will be secure."
I trust that this explanation provides you with additional information to assist you
in analyzing the resultS ofthe 2006 Census for your community.
Yours truly,

Dear Colleague:
Thank you for your letters of June 3, 2006, infonning me of the

concerns of your constituents regarding the length and detail of the 2006 Census.
Although I understand the concerns of yoor constituents about

supplying what they view as personal information, I can assure you that all ofthe
information collected by the census is needed and is used only for statistical
purposes. Statistics Canada takes very seriously its legal obligation to protect the
privacy and confidentiality ofevery census respondent. In fact, all census databases,
facilities, and networks containing confidential data are physically isolated from any
networks outside Statistics Canada. In addition, names, addresses and telephone
numbers are not included in the census dissemination database to protect the privacy
ofcensus respondents.
Detennining the questions to be asked in the census is a delicate

balancing act that takes into account the diversity of interests and views that exist
among our population. AU ofthe questions are designed to meet important
information requirements that would be extremely difficult to satisfy efficiently from
other sources. In fact, every question goes through a rigorous consultation, testing,
review and approval process, including that by Cabinet.
Most ofthe questions that appeared on the 2006 Census long fonn
have appeared on many censuses. These questions continue to be essential for
.providing the infonnation needed by governments, businesses, researchers and
individual Canadians to shed light on issues of concern to all of us - employment,
education, training, transportation, housing, immigration, income support, pensions
for seniors, transfer payments, aboriginal issues and many more.

A census questionnaire is seen only by those who have been sworn to

secrecy under the Statistics Act and who actually need to see it This represents a
very limited number of employees. Absolutely no one except authorized Statistics
Canada staff has access to individual questionnaires or information that would permit
identification ofany individual or family. Contractors never have access to census
data. Therefore, even if a request were ever to be made by an external authority to
any contractor for confidential data, it would be physically impossible for a
contractor to comply, given that they are never in possession of census responses.
Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to my attention.
Sincerely,
Maxime Bernier

Julv 8, 2010
Marlene Jennings It appears that evidence-based policy-making is the latest victim of Liberal Party Press
Liberal MP and Harper Conservative ideological-based cuts. At a recent secret Conference
Government ethics cabinet meeting, the Conservatives cancelled the mandatory long July 7, 2010
and democratic reform form census survey that provided information on a broad range of
critic topics such as ethnicity, education, employment, income, housing
and disability. The decision is dangerous and must be reversed.
By making the survey voluntary, its findings will likely be skewed
and rendered irrelevant. Municipalities, provincial governments,
community groups, business and other organizations that depend .
i.
on the data for developing sound policy will be negatively
impacted. Given this government's record of ideological and not
evidence-based decisions, it's clear that having up-to-date
information about Canadians is not a priority for the Harper r
government.
Criticism has been near universal. Amongst those who have
spoken out are: the former head of Stats Canada; the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities; Canadian and Toronto Association of
Business Economists; the Chief Economist at the TO Bank; the
canadian Association of University Teachers representing over
65,000 researchers and academic staff at 122 universities and
colleges across Canada, the Canadian Institute of Planners; and
newspaper editorials from coast to coast are against the change.
Even Stephen Harper's hometown newspaper called it, and I
uote, "outraaeous."
000106
Marlene Jennings The implications cannot be overstated. Every federal Liberal Party Press
Liberal MP and department relies on comprehensive census data. For Conference
Govemment ethics example, it shapes electoral district boundaries and July 7, 2010
and democratic reform Tony Clement has yet to explain if the change that he
critic had his govemment carry out in secret will affect the
next redrawing of riding boundaries which will be based
on the 2011 census data.
There is no doubt that the Tories hoped this decision

would be ignored. It was taken in secret with no
consultation and it was leaked on the eve of national
holidays last week. They can't get away with it that easy.
We won't let them get away with it that easy. We
Liberals are calling on the Minister not only to reverse
the ill-formed decision, we're stating that if he won't
we're prepared to explore the introduction of an
..
i.
amendment to the Statistics Act that would ensure a
comDrehensive mandatory lona form.
Marlene Jennings We're also encouraging researchers, businesses and all Liberal Party Press
f
Liberal MP and Canadians to continue speaking out as they have Conference
Govemment ethics already been doing. Write to Stephen Harper. Write to July 7, 2010
and democratic reform Tony Clement. Write to each and every Conservative
critic MP and express your dismay and your opposition to this
decision.
At the very least, the Minister owes an explanation to all

Canadians.

Marlene Jennings The reason why it's mandatory is because by Liberal Party Press
Liberal MP and ensuring that it's mandatory it ensures that every Conference
Government ethics single one of the 20 percent of Canadians Who July 7,2010
and democratic reform receive it fill it out completely. As a result of that,
critic the data then allows Stats Canada to weight the
rest of the short form data and it guarantees that
the assumptions that can be made are sound
based on sound information. If it's voluntary, you
have no way to properly weight the data that
comes out because the weighting comes from
Stats Canada data, something that Mr. Clement
seemed not to understand when he was Tweeting
yesterday. So I suggest he might want to go and
take a stats course.
Marlene Jennings I think most Canadians were assured that there LIberal Party Press
Liberal MP and was not access to the data by any foreign entity or
any unauthorized individuals. So I don't think
Conference
July 7,2010
i
Govemment ethics
and democratic reform that's an issue. And, let's face it, if it was an issue,
critic why doesn't the govemment just say so? Why
haven't they come clean? Why are they taking this
decision in private, in secret. and then releasing it
on the eve of a national holiday where they hope
anyone will not notice. It's standard Harper modus
operandi. He prorogues the House on the eve of
the new year, hoping no one will notice. hoping
Canadians will not notice. He does this time after
time after time and it's unacceptable. And this is
too·important, this information. It's too important
for our businesses. It's too important for our local
and provincial governments. They use this in
developing their policies to ensure that the
services are getting out to the people who need
them.

Marlene Jennings To my knowledge the form is mandatory and there are sound liberal Party Pre..
Liberal MP and policy and scientific reasons Why it needs to be mandatory Conference
Government ethics because it's only through gaining that data that we can that July 7, 2010
and democratic reform Stats Canada can then properly weight all of the data that
critic comes in and ensure that that information is sound. So any
policy based on it has that level, level of comfort based on
science, based on evidence.
I've been a Member of Parliament for 13 years now. I'm now

going into my -I'm now in my fourteenth year. In that time,
there's been the 2001 census. Just before I came in, there was
the 1996 census based on which the first demographic study by
the McGill Consortium was done for the Black communities of
Canada. There was a second one done on 2001 and then this
last one which came out in March on the 2006. In that time. one,
I have not received any complaints from any of my constituents
or from any other Canadian about the fact that they received the
long form and that it was mandatory. That's the first point
Secondly. I have not heard of any Canadian being charged. My

understanding of the process is that notwithstanding that irs
mandatory, Stats Canada makes every effort to contact the
individuals, to send someone at the individual's convenience to
sit down with them, to assist them in filling out the forms. If
there's a reason why they don't want to fin, to explain to them
the importance of the information there, to assure them of the
privacy, that their personal individual identifiers that allowed
them to be personally identified are protected and that. as a
result of that, they Qet all of the forms back filled out.

Marlene Jennings Je commence a voir queUes sont les raisons possibles et Liberal Party Press

That's typical of this government. They take decisions based on
ideology. They do not base decisions on evidence. And part of
evidence is public consultation. And I say shame on Tony
