Statistics Canada is abandoning the long-form for the 2011 census and turning over to the National Household Survey (NHS) a voluntary long form without the "check-off" question for authorizing release of the individual census questionnaire in 92 years (the required length of time by Canada for releasing such information). There has been much "discussion" about this controversial decision. The Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology will be meeting once again on the issue of the removal of the mandatory long form from Canada's Census of Population. The meeting is scheduled for Friday, 27 August 2010 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Ottawa time. Panel members have yet to be announced. The meeting is to be televised and should be available on your local CPAC television channel, as well as on the Parliamentary Webcast (ParlVu) at click here. Gordon A.
