Wayne R. Smith is a Canadian economist who served as the Chief Statistician of Canada from 2 September 2010 to 16 September 2016. He was appointed after his predecessor, Munir Sheikh, resigned in protest over the Federal Government's decision to end the mandatory long-form census. Smith also resigned in protest over concerns about the Federal Government's centralization of IT services. He argued that Statistics Canada needed to control its own IT infrastructure to protect its independence.
