Question:
Would anyone possibly have an updated SPSS syntax file to share for the newly released PCCF that is based on Aug 2018 postal codes? We have a copy of the .sps for the June 2017 release but thought I would inquire in case someone’s updated the syntax for the new release?
Answer:
Yes, we are publishing these under “Other documentation” on Odesi. See for August 2018 …

"Statistics Canada Data Viewer"
Question
At the Ontario DLI meeting in December, representatives from STC mentioned the ongoing vendor-driven development of a Statistics Canada Data Viewer. Do you have an idea of what the timelines for this product look like? I imagine a lot of it will be dependent on the release of the data products through 2017, of course, but even a season/year (e.g., Fall/2017) would be good to know.
Answer
We are working closely with a contractor now and hope to have something available in the late summer/early fall of 2017. I will be able to provide an more accurate schedule in a couple of months.

DLI Logo Images
Question
The DLI Survival Guide table of contents indicates that there should be a downloadable version of the DLI logo somewhere, but I have yet to find it. Could it be made available, please?
Answer
We are in fact working with Dissemination to put back up the new graphic identifier.
In the interim, it is available through the DLI EFT site here

Financial Performance Indicators
Question
The FPI product - on the main product page http://www.statcan.gc.ca/bsolc/olc-cel/olc-cel?catno=61-224-XCB&lang=eng it states at the bottom:
"Free access
This product may also be accessible for free at these libraries.
These data are available at no additional charge to Canadian educational institutions participating in the Data Liberation Initiative."
Does this mean that I can hand over this product to someone outside of the University community?
What has happened - an employee of a company not associated in any way with the University called StatCan talked to a representative who in turn gave them my name and contact information. I'm a little confused - can I give it to her or not?
Answer
External clients may use the DSP copy of Financial Performance Indicators but they are not authorised to use the DLI copy of this product. The DSP copy has national level data whereas the DLI copy also includes lower levels of geography. The DLI copy is covered under the DLI licence and may therefore only be used by authorised users.
Thank you for letting us know that an external user was referred to you by the National Contact Centre, we will look into this. Generally, only members of the academic community would be referred to the DLI Contact in a member institution for information about a DLI product. I suspect that in this case the intention was to refer the user to a DSP library.
