Probably in distinction of my colleague, I would say that if a citizen feels so strongly that he or she does not wish to divulge information in the long form to the Government of Canada and simply wishes to fill out the short form, which would be more basic information, I would probably side with that citizen having the right to say, “I do not wish to fill out the long form.
Pour me distinguer de mon collègue, je dirai que, si un citoyen ne tient vraiment pas à divulguer de l'information au gouvernement du Canada en remplissant le formulaire long, mais ne veut remplir que le formulaire court, et ne donner ainsi que les renseignements de base, je serais très tenté, par principe, de prendre son parti.
