I just PMed Azure on that topic. Most Canadian have no idea the lengths Statistics Canada goes through to protect the privacy of the data we are given. That is foremost out of a duty and respect to the respondents, but also out of self-preservation. If there were to be a leak of private information, people would have legitimate reasons to be fearful of responding and that would result in undersampled data as well. Our ability to provide a quality product depends on the trust of the public.
