To all -- I am combining this message -- and so readers will not think the questions being asked on the 2006 census are new -- except for Question 53 -- check http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/datalib/censusq.htm This is a chart of all questions asked from Confederation to 2001. The 2006 questions URL is in Gordon's message.You will note there is a great similarity!! However, please answer YES to #53 -- there will be transcribers in 2098! These will likely be our descendants -- my granddaughter is already interested1 Also, matterial available for Letters to the Editor -- not everyone uses computers! Muriel M.

For those who have any concerns about what will be asked on the upcoming Census, the questions to be asked, and the reasons they are being asked, are available on the Statistics Canada website available at http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/info/questions/index.cfm Information provided here is for the long form only, and there are 53 questions. There are only 8 questions on the short form -- these include questions 1 through 6, question 16, and question 53 as shown for the long form. Ensure your place in the history of Canada. On Census Day 16 May 2006, answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. Ask everyone you know to do so as well. Gordon A.
