What don’t we know about Manitoba?

Justin Trudeau has promised to bring back the long form census, and statisticians across the country are eagerly awaiting this campaign promise to be fulfilled. But beyond all the hand-wringing over survey designs and response rates, what does the lack of a compulsory census really mean for us?

The federal government collects basic information like age and sex for everyone in Canada every five years, and it is still compulsory to respond to this survey. In addition, the government used to send out a long form census – containing questions about more detailed attributes like income, ethnicity and language, to one in five Canadians to get more detailed demographic information on the country.

The compulsory long form census was replaced by a voluntary National Household Survey in 2011. Even though it was sent out to more people – one in three Canadians – it had a much lower response rate because it was voluntary.

The lower response rate has led to all sorts of problems in the research community and reduced usually mild mannered statisticians to fits of rage. As Manitoba's chief statistician Wilf Falk puts it, "We do not know what information is good and what information is bad."
