Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty is adding his voice to a long-list of politicians and organizations who want to see Canada's long-form census kept in place.
Rafferty says its a vital tool for good policy-making.
"The decision to amend it was shortsighted and was carried out without consultation," says Rafferty. "The government should immediately reverse the changes to the long-form census."
MP's debated an opposition motion yesterday calling for the long-form census to be reinstated.
