Statistics Canada is considering releasing data from the last census on transgender and non-binary children, a groundbreaking move as no other national statistics office has done so. The data, collected for the first time in the 2021 census, has sparked debate among experts and advocates. Some praise the collection of data, but question the reluctance to release it. Others express concern about potential harm to gender-diverse children and youth, and question the accuracy of parents making judgments about their childrens gender. The agency is exploring an age cutoff for releasing the data and is seeking public feedback on the potential release or non-release.
