    We will have to watch what our politicians do, because they what they say and what they then do are not the same things. They can't be trusted and I think we have to boycott the census if Lockheed Martin software and/or hardware is used by Statistics Canada. If they are so incompetent that they can't develop the software in-house and don't have the in-house expertise to purchase the hardware then they, (ipso facto), don't know how to evaluate the security of what they have bought. Asking the wolf to evaluate the hen house security system is not acceptable behaviour.
