MP Bill Blaikie Continues To Question L-M Census Contract

I want to the ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he has had a chance to look at this Lockheed-Martin file and whether he can tell the House today that this contract will be rescinded and the census will be done in Canada, by Canadians, where it belongs? Hon. Andy Mitchell (Secretary of State (Rural Development) (Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario), Lib.): Mr. Speaker, the reality is that this is a Canadian subsidiary that will be conducting the census. The information will be maintained in Canada. It will be conducted in Canada. It will be a Canadian enterprise providing a valuable service to Canadians, which we have always done in terms of the census.
