Does a physical condition or
mental condition or health
problem reduce the amount
or the kind of activity this
person can do:
(a) at home?
(b) at work or at school?
(c) in other activities, for example,
transportation or leisure?
I'm shocked as a nation we have managed to make it these past few years without this kind of vital self reported information
I'm not saying we don't need good information... But anyone who thinks the long form census was vital in the form exactly as was including all the asinine questions it asked... never actually ever looked at what or how the information was asked/reported .

I'm confused, what exactly is the problem with those series of questions? I get that there's going to be some margin for error due to self-reporting but at lot of that info is incredibly vital for urban planning, delivery of services, etc.
