National Statistics Council Explained

The National Statistics Council is a Canadian government agency which advises the Chief Statistician of Canada on Statistics Canada’s activities, primarily on program priorities.[1]

The NSC drew media attention as a result of its objection to the removal of the long-form census deployed in the 2011 Census.[2]
