Very strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported the reinstatement of the long-form mandatory census. In 2010, when the Conservative government decided to replace the mandatory long-form census with a voluntary survey, the NDP criticized the decision and called for its reinstatement, arguing that it would lead to less accurate data.

Yes, the information is vital for economists, scientists, statisticians, and the government to accurately make important policy decisions

The NDP strongly agrees with this statement, as they believe that the information collected through the long-form mandatory census is vital for various stakeholders, including economists, scientists, statisticians, and the government, to make informed policy decisions. This is one of the main reasons they have called for its reinstatement.

Strongly agree

Yes, if it was easier to complete online

The NDP would likely support making the long-form mandatory census easier to complete online, as it would encourage more people to participate and provide more accurate data. However, their primary focus is on reinstating the mandatory long-form census, regardless of the method of completion.

Neutral

Yes, but it should only be required every 5 years

The long-form census in Canada is already conducted every 5 years, so this statement aligns with the NDP's position on reinstating the mandatory long-form census. However, the frequency of the census is not the main focus of their stance on this issue.
