"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4725026\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I welcome my colleague from across the way. I enjoy his interjections in the House and I anticipate there will be a good number of them in the coming months.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4725027\" data-originallang=\"en\">Having said that, the member is right that the Harper government did not get rid of the long-form census, but he needs to recognize that the Conservative government did make it non-mandatory. The criticism of the Harper government back then was very extensive, from virtually every sector and every stakeholder that understood the importance of the census being mandatory.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4725028\" data-originallang=\"en\">If the member across the way were to reflect on it, I am sure he would not suggest that it should be non-mandatory. By making it mandatory, we will have better information.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4725029\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I tried to illustrate in the limited amount of time I had, that information is very critical for all levels of government, not to mention the non-profits, the private sector, and many other stakeholders that are in need of the type of information we know Statistics Canada can provide, as long it is afforded the right tools, and one of those tools is a mandatory long-form census.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4725026\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je salue mon coll\u00e8gue d'en face. J'aime bien ses interventions \u00e0 la Chambre et je m'attends \u00e0 ce qu'il en fasse de nombreuses au cours des prochains mois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4725027\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a raison d'affirmer que le gouvernement Harper n'a pas \u00e9limin\u00e9 le questionnaire d\u00e9taill\u00e9 du recensement, mais il doit tout de m\u00eame reconna\u00eetre que le gouvernement conservateur a fait en sorte qu'il ne soit plus obligatoire. Presque tous les secteurs et les intervenants qui comprenaient l'importance du questionnaire obligatoire ont formul\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque des critiques \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard du gouvernement Harper.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4725028\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face y r\u00e9fl\u00e9chissait, je suis certain qu'il ne sugg\u00e9rerait pas que le questionnaire soit non obligatoire. En le rendant obligatoire, nous disposerons de meilleurs renseignements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4725029\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme j'ai tent\u00e9 de l'expliquer pendant mon temps de parole limit\u00e9, les renseignements recueillis sont absolument essentiels pour tous les ordres de gouvernement, ainsi que pour le secteur sans but lucratif, le secteur priv\u00e9 et de nombreux autres intervenants. Ceux-ci ont besoin du type de renseignements que peut fournir Statistique Canada, dans la mesure o\u00f9 celui-ci dispose de bons outils, notamment le questionnaire d\u00e9taill\u00e9 obligatoire du recensement.</p>"
