Census Statistics from Income Tax

WHEREAS it is felt that the most recent census data as it pertains to the north central region of British Columbia does not accurately reflect the actual population; AND WHEREAS many financial matters, such as transfer payments and allocations as they relate to all forms of local government are based on the census population figures: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that UBCM and the provincial government lobby the federal government to develop a method of ascertaining the correct census population figures by correlating and integrating the population based on information from income tax returns.
