^xiWhen comparing responses in 1996 and 2001 to the Ethnicity question in the census, it appears that the Jewish population has decreased from 351,705 to 348,605 at the same time as the total population of Canada has increased. This comparison suggests that the Jewish population of Quebec has deceased from 92,390 to 82,450, while the numbers in Ontario have increased from 191,445 to 196,260. However, the ethnicity question is only one indicator. The responses to the census query on religion will be released in May 2003 and additional community studies are necessary to complement the census results.
