Latest On Census

Posted on Monday, May 10 at 06:49 by sthompson
So the latest news, and I will do my best to speak to Stat Can and get the official story today, is that Lockheed Martin people were actually FIRED on Friday due to opposition from Canadians and MP Bill Blaikie.

HOWEVER, an insider contacted me last night and says that those people are being HIRED BACK to help with testing.

I'm contacting Bill Blaikie and reporters working on the story with this so we can get it confirmed, and I'll let you know if that is in fact true.

And I still have no clear word on whether LM is still involved with the main (2006) contract at all, and if so how (hardware/software or no involvement?) so again, I will let you know.

Keep checking back here for developments. The only thing that is clear is that the pressure is definitely working and Stat Can IS having to respond to the concerns of Canadians.
