EU scolds Harper government for StatsCan controversy
From the Montreal Gazette:
The European Union’s statistical gurus have taken the Canadian government to task for denting the professional independence of Statistics Canada through the census debate.
In the newly released report, the European Statistical Governance Advisory Board decries the government’s decision to replace the mandatory long-form census with a voluntary survey, citing Canada as a cautionary tale of statistical agencies losing their traditional autonomy.
I wonder how long we have to wait for someone to reverse that stupid decision.
