NDP Call Emergency Debate

Once again the census takes center stage as the NDP feel an emergency debate is needed in order to determine the "integrity of the census". The Leader of the NDP, Jack Layton, is clearly worried about the changes made to the census by the Harper government, so much that he wrote a letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons. He is requesting that a debate should be scheduled next month when the House of Commons reopens. The main thing in question is that the census would be made "voluntary," with the clear issue being the lack of accuracy and  reliability in the results. So far these new proposed conditions to the census have been met with a lot of resistance as all major parties have rejected the notions made by the Conservatives. Apparently Mr.Layton has had enough. If this does see a debate, it should make for an interesting feud. It is definitely something worth watching as fall programing returns.
