Title: The Mandatory Census: Tension Between Individual Rights and the Public Good
Author: Deonandan, Raywat
Abstract: The discontinuation of the Canadian long-form mandatory census presents a crisis for data users. Examined as a tension between the need to preserve individual civil liberties and the need to curtail those liberties for the public good, the census crisis presents an opportunity for a public discussion on the specifics of our national values, beliefs and expectations.
