SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to mandate the Chief Statistician of Canada to transfer to the National Archivist of Canada all census information that has been collected since the 1906 census and that will be collected in every future census. Such transfer is currently prohibited. The National Archivist of Canada may make such information available to the public for research and statistical purposes provided that 92 years have elapsed since its collection.
