That would definitely be of interest. With regard to the census, will it contain any additional questions that might be pandemic-related? It will be an interesting census to look back on in years to come given the changes people have gone through over the past few years. Will there be questions on the increase in people working from home or anything else that could be pandemic-related?

I am also interested in any change to the religion options. Previously there were options for different religions and "No religion" in the responses. Will there be an option to select "Atheist" or "Agnostic"? The Minister of State might give more detail on that.
