********************

For the 2006 Census, two separate rounds of consultations were held. The first round took place in 2002. It incorporated discussions on geography concepts as well as the dissemination program but mostly concentrated on gathering your emerging data needs with respect to the content of the questionnaire. This round of consultations generated approximately 800 comments (please consult the "content consultation report" for more information:

A second round of consultations took place in 2004. Again, discussions were held on as many topics as possible with a focus on the dissemination program. This round generated over 40 in-person meetings and totalled over 1,000 comments (please consult the "dissemination consultation report" for more information: http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/products/reference/consultation/disseminationreport.cfm

In light of the feedback received through previous rounds of consultations, I would now like to invite you to share your thoughts and comments on some proposed changes to the 2006 Census product line. More specifically, I would like to gather your comments on the review of the topic-based tabulations found in the enclosed consultation document.  You will also find information on new proposed products i.e. special interest profiles and historical trends for selected geographies such as census subdivisions. Please feel welcome to forward this email and consultation document to your colleagues and partners.
