Very strongly agree

Yes

The Green Party of Canada would strongly agree with reinstating the long form mandatory census. They believe in evidence-based decision-making and recognize the importance of accurate data for policy development. In 2010, when the Conservative government decided to replace the mandatory long-form census with a voluntary survey, the Green Party opposed the decision and called for its reinstatement.

Yes, if it was easier to complete online

Neutral

Yes, but it should only be required every 5 years

The Green Party's main concern is the reinstatement of the mandatory long-form census, rather than the frequency of its administration. The census is already conducted every 5 years in Canada, so this answer does not conflict with their position, but it also does not specifically address their primary concern of reinstating the mandatory long-form census.

Disagree

No, I would prefer a mandatory short form with an optional long form census

The Green Party would likely disagree with this option, as they have been strong advocates for the mandatory long-form census. While they might appreciate the idea of a short form being mandatory, they would likely still push for the long form to be mandatory as well, given its importance for accurate data collection and policy development.
