CBC NEWS, July 16,2010: Faith groups are the latest contingent to complain about the federal government's decision to cut out the long-form census.

Both the Canadian Jewish Congress and the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada have written to the Conservative government to voice their concerns.

They say they rely heavily on the data from the census to better serve their communities.

Questions on religion are included in the long census every 10 years, with the next such version coming up in 2011.

However, Industry Minister Tony Clement said he has received dozens of letters supporting the move to replace the long-form census with a voluntary household survey.

The Canadian Medical Association Journal also criticized the Tories for what it calls a decision based on "ideology."

The traditional census is an "essential tool" in the planning and delivery of health services, the journal said.

Census: Is it an invasion of privacy?

Industry Minister Tony Clement says he is willing to testify before a House of Commons committee about his decision to scrap the mandatory long-form census.

Opposition parties have said they want to convene a committee this summer to question Clement about the change.

Several groups, including the Canadian Medical Association, have criticized the move, which they say will hurt the quality of census data.

But Clement told reporters in Montreal Thursday that many Canadians have complained the long-form census violates their privacy.

He said his office has received dozens of letters in the past 48 hours supporting his decision.

The federal privacy commissioner said Wednesday only a handful of complaints were filed about the census in the past decade.
