<span class="h2">Basic population information</span><div class="i1">Question 1 asks for the name of each person in the household so that no one is left out or counted twice. Names are not put on the census database.<br />Questions 2 to 6 ask about the people living in the household. From these questions we can learn about living arrangements, family size, the number of children living with one parent or two parents, and the number of people who are alone. This information is used for planning social programs, such as Old Age Security and the Child Tax Benefit. It is also used by towns and cities to plan a variety of services such as day-care centers, schools and senior citizens' homes.</div><span class="pg">[p. 5]</span><div class="i1">If you have questions or require further information, please phone the free Census Help Line at 1 800 591-2001.</div><div class="i2"><span class="em">Question 1 -- Name<br />Question 2 -- Sex<br />Question 3 -- Date of birth<br />Question 4 -- Marital status<br />Question 5 -- Common-law status<br />Question 6 -- Relationship to Person 1</span></div>
