Reverse census change, Catholic bishops urge

[CHIMO]

The country's Roman Catholic bishops have added their voices to the chorus asking the federal government to reverse a decision to scrap the mandatory long census form.

Bishop Pierre Morissette of Saint-Jerome, Que., head of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, has written to Industry Minister Tony Clement urging him to change his mind.

The government has come under fire from opposition politicians, statisticians, charitable groups, social agencies, unions, medical associations and other organizations over the decision to make the long form voluntary.

Munir Sheikh, the head of Statistics Canada, resigned over the issue

So if B'nai Brith would step up to the plate we could see how things stand!
