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. Why can't statscan send surveys in the mail on time instead of driving around rural Saskatchewan

Last week Allan in my riding received his census form in the mail only to learn that it must be completed online by this week. Allan and other constituents, particularly seniors, don't have a computer in their home. And with public health restrictions in place, they can't go to a library or a friend's house to access one. More stress for Canadians in the middle of this preventable third wave. When will this liberal government stop leaving Canadians (behind)?
