Because this survey is conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act , all information received from the respondents is kept confidential. The Act is strengthened by the fact that all Statistics Canada staff take an oath of secrecy. No personal information, which could identify respondents or their families, can be given to anyone or any other government department without permission. Even when results are released from the survey, they are in a format that makes it impossible to identify individuals or their families. In both cases, there will be no impact.
Any information provided by respondents is kept strictly confidential.
No personal information that could identify respondents or their families can be given to anyone or any other government department. Preliminary survey results will be available in the winter of 2002. There will be an announcement in The Daily , Statistics Canada s official release bulletin, at that time.
