I can see how the information contained therein is useful to various government agencies and private corporations. How many 3 bedroom houses in Calgary vs. Montreal of example, etc. etc.

Having said that, what kind of underwear I wear (or don't), how often I change them, how often I play slap the monkey and my average length of time to uh... completion could also been seen as very useful information to any number of private corporations and/or government agencies. Perhaps the real answer here is to make the long form... the LONG form. Lets ask every conceivable question there is of every single person, that way we'll have all the data, all the time. Wait, that'd take to long. Perhaps installing chips in everyone and cameras in every room of every house would be easier/better.
