Question Period Notes
About this information
In accordance with the Access to Information Act, the government proactively publishes the package of question period notes that were prepared by a government institution for the minister and that were in use on the last sitting day in June and December.
The question period notes may be partially or fully redacted in accordance with the legislation; for example, if the notes contain information related to national security or personal information. (Learn more about exemptions and exclusions.)
If you find a question period note of interest, you may make an access to information request in order to obtain it.
Farmers back home are working long hours to get their crops in the ground. Many of them have reached out report that statscan workers are going around farm to farm with a 2021 census and are needlessly holding up production. To make matters worse they show up the day before the census is due, making it impossible for it to be filled out on time. This is no way to treat farmers who are in the middle of their busy season.

More stress for Canadians in the middle of this preventable third wave. When will this liberal government stop leaving Canadians (behind)?
The Supplementary Estimates (A) 2021-2022 for Shared Services Canada will be tabled in the month of May 2021 and is the first Supplementary Estimate this fiscal year.
