Description: This report highlights the results of the geography portion of the 2001 Census consultation process. At the June 1998 federal-provincial conference session on the 2001 Census, geography was described as the "cornerstone" of the census. Based on the submissions received in the past year, many users feel the same way. It is the standard geographic areas that determine the framework in which the data will be released. It is the users, through the consultation process, who influence the changes to the standard geographic areas that are recommended for each census. Due to the complexity of geography supplement, catalogue no. 92-125-SPB, was prepared at the beginning of the consultation process to augment the geography section of the 2001 Census consultation guide, catalogue no. 92-125-GPE. In a similar way, this 2001 Census consultation geography report, catalogue no. 92-126-SPB, is a companion document to the 2001 Census consultation report, 92-126-XPE. During the consultation process, users were asked to review the 1996 standard geographic areas and suggest what ones should be deleted, retained with no change, or modified. They were also asked what new types of geographic areas should be added. The order in which the standard geographic areas are presented in this report reflects the four questions asked (deletion; status quo; modification; addition of new areas). Appendix A provides a graphic view of the proposed geographic structure for 2001 Census dissemination purposes.
