Dear Tracey P.,
Tomorrow, Bill C-626, a bill to amend the Statistics Canada Act in order to reinstate the long-form census and expand the authority of the Chief Statistician of Canada goes to vote.
Our decision-makers will be voting on the future of smart decision-making in Canada.
Thanks to you, me, and the other near 7,000 individuals who already sent letters to their MP, this issue has been recieving a lot of media attention this past week.
Here are a few pieces that have done an outstanding job outlining what is at stake here and why Canada needs better data:
- Why Canada should reinstate long-form census: Scharper (Toronto Star)
- For Competitiveness' Sake, Restore the Canadian Census (Huffington Post Canada)
- Metro Morning: Long-form census (CBC)
- Damage from cancelled census as bad as feared, researchers say (Globe and Mail)
I urge you to share these pieces with your network before the Bill goes to vote tomorrow.
Please join us in this final push to support Bill C-626 and our pursuit of a healthier, safer, and more prosperous Canada by sharing news of why Canadians deserve better statistics and contacting your MP.
You can also join the #ItMakesCensus conversation on Facebook and Twitter as well.
Thanks for standing up for smart decision-making!
Katie Gibbs
Executive Director
