A northern think-tank says the return of Canada’s long-form census bodes well for policy makers in the region.
The Northern Policy Institute is singing the new Liberal government’s praises, for bringing back the high-quality data in time for next year.
President Charles Cirtwill says the mandatory census tells us in a definitive way how things have changed over time, and supports the development of evidence-based policies.
Cirtwill notes the results helps them form policies and helps in long-term planning.
