In conclusion

Consultation input improves geographic concepts and leads to the dissemination of better-fit data.

This consultation guide was developed to help users convey their ideas and suggestions to Statistics Canada. It presents information related to the current delineation of census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations, includes a history of changes to the concept and the detailed definition of the concepts. Ongoing discussion helps to keep Statistics Canada abreast on emerging data needs.

Your comments will be included in the consultation database and will be referenced by geography and census specialists.
