在 2011 年的保守党政府宣布,由于隐私问题长篇普查将不再是强制性。它将取而代之的是只会收集基本人口数据的短格式普查。人口普查的竞争对手包括公民自由倡导者认为长篇普查是太创和侵犯人的隐私权。恢复自愿普查的拥护者争辩说,没有强制性的长形式普查很难跟踪收入不平等的趋势,在就业市场、 劳动力短缺和人口结构变化的移民成果。

Have meaningful questions to non-invasively track immigrant job outcome, income inequality and etc.

No, privacy outweighs statistics
@39QBZZ73yrs3Y
provide an online option
@39PSKCQ3yrs3Y
Yes. Citing "privacy concerns" as the reason for its removal served as a distraction to allow other forms of privacy invasion to be instated.

Now that bill c-51 passed, the government gets all the information they could want through spying on us via internet and telephone as well as satellite surveillance and video monitoring. The government has way more information about Canadians now than ever before so reinstating the long form in the census is a non issue I feel is used by the candidates to distract from other more difficult to talk about issues like getting rid of bill c-51!
@39FWSFD3yrs3Y
Not having the long form is a disgrace to Canadian citizens. It must be reinstated. We can not collect or find out information about the basic demographics of this country.
