On the other, Parliament allows for the transfer of records under the Privacy Act to the National Archives, where access is allowed after 92 years. If the law is followed, and if, after 92 years, the census is turned over to the archives according to that law, then section 17 of the Statistics Act becomes totally irrelevant because the records are no longer in the custody of the chief statistician.
Si la loi est respectée et que, après 92 ans, les données de recensement sont transmises aux archives conformément à la loi, l'article 17 de la Loi sur la statistique n'a plus aucune pertinence car les données ne relèvent plus du statisticien en chef.
