CTUMS variance tables for 2007

Question
Can anyone tell me why the variance tables for CTUM 2005 are available on the Statistics Canada website but 2007 aren't?

2005 seems to be available from http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvDocument&Item_Id=48423&InstaId=22693&ai=1&dis=1 but all I can find for 2007 are the user guides.

Answer
Variability tables for CTUMS 2007 can also be found on the DLI PUMF EFT safe: /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/4440_CTUMS_ESUTC/2007/annual/doc

If you require any assistance with accessing your EFT account, please let us know.

I inquired whether they would be placed online and unfortunately there are no plans to put them online; but they are part of our release package for the PUMF that the DLI receives and uploads to the EFT.

Travel Survey of Residents of Canada – 2006, 2007, 2008 Public Use Microdata File (PUMF) - Revised data

Revised data files for the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC) 2006, 2007 and 2008 PUMF are now available on the DLI FTP and website. Please replace the previous version of these data files with the revised versions.

• The file tsrc2006dat01-12.zip has been replaced with tsrc2006dat01-12-ver2.zip



• The file tsrc2007dat01-12.zip has been replaced with tsrc2007dat01-12-ver2.zip



• The file tsrc2008dat01-12.zip has been replaced with tsrc2008dat01-12-ver2.zip

The author division provided the following information regarding the revisions:

* "The TSRC data has been revised for years 2006, 2007 and 2008. Here is what was adjusted:

* 1. Allocation of private and commercial cottages for years 2006 and 2007

* Data users questioned a substantial increase of private cottages/lodges roofing combined with a decrease of similar magnitude of the commercial cottage/lodge roofing between years 2006/2007 and 2008. We have investigated the issue and found a programming error that derailed the proper allocation of the data to the right accommodation derived variable.

* 2. Reallocation of expenditures for food and beverages for all years

* In the audit report, it was found that one record did not have its food and beverages expenditures (bought in restaurant/store) reallocated correctly. We have investigated this and found that indeed, there was a problem when there were trips with no nights spent in the main destination, no food and restaurant expenditures were allocated to the destination visit record. All of the food bought in stores and restaurant expenditures were being allocated to the other visit records."
