The Statistics Act requires that the Census of Agriculture be conducted every five years in the years ending in 1 and 6; for example, 1996 and 2001. This Act, like all Canadian laws, applies to everyone who resides in Canada. Agricultural operators are, therefore, required to complete the census questionnaire.
