National Population Health Survey (NPHS) Cycle 6, 2004-2005 - Synthetic Files
The National Population Health Survey was designed to collect information on the health of the Canadian population and related socio-demographic information.
It is important to note that these synthethic files do not contain real data and should never be used for analytical purposes. Their only purpose is to assist users to develop and test the computer programs that are to be submitted by remote job submission.

Number of Mothers in Canada
Question
A simple question -- how many women in Canada are mothers -- is proving surprisingly difficult to answer. The census doesn't ask the question anymore, and I can't find it anywhere else. What, if anything, am I missing?
Answer
Take a look at Cansim Table Table 102-4508 Mothers, all ages.

Hazelnut Production Figures for British Columbia
Question
I am trying to find time series hazelnut/filbert production figures for B.C. Could any of you agriculture statistics gurus out there please point me in the right direction. I thought I might have luck in CANSIM, but nothing so far.
Answer
I can't find a time series either, but there is a series of annual reports from the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Lands on this page:
http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/stats/index.htm
Check out Annual B.C. Horticultural Statistics for 2004. Further down the page you can find Selected Fruit and Vegetable Statistics - Berry and Nut Statistics. These tables cover 1991-2003. If a time series database exists I failed to find it.
The Agriculture Division has also indicated that data back to 1977 is available through the Query function in Canada Foods Stats
(http://www.statcan.ca/bsolc/english/bsolc?catno=23F0001XBB).

Occupational Surveillance in Canada: Cause-specific Mortality Among Workers, 1965-1991
Occupational Surveillance in Canada: Cause-specific Mortality Among Workers, 1965-1991
This CD-ROM is the first Canada-wide publication of occupational mortality risks produced in Canada. A previous publication for the province of British Columbia (Occupational mortality in British Columbia 1950-1978) was published in 1986 as Statistics Canada catalogue no. 84-544 (ISBN 0-660-59382-32872-X).
This publication helps identify occupational groups across Canada with excessive mortality due to specific causes. It also provides a Canadian monitoring system to detect previously unsuspected associations between, for example, cancer and occupation and provide a powerful tool for both generating and testing hypotheses.
The publication gives the results of a longitudinal follow-up of the 10% Canadian Occupational Cohort, a sample of 700,000 individuals, both
women and men, in the Canadian workforce during the period 1965-71, linked to the Canadian Mortality Data Base (CMDB) for 1965-1991.
This publication is likely to be of interest to the medical and research community, workers' compensation and safety boards, ministries of health and labour, regulatory agencies and the general public.

Divorce Settlements
Question
A student has been told by a professor that statistics on a given topic exist on the STC website, yet I have found no evidence of it. In this case, it's about the amounts of money people get as a result of divorce settlements. Or am I missing something? I would welcome any advice!
Answer
To the best of our knowledge, Statistics Canada does not collect data on the value of divorce settlements. Our main divorce related statistics are divorces counts from vital statistics.
The closest I found to data on money people receive as a result of divorce settlements were variables on support payments in SLID and the Maintenance Enforcement Survey and a study titled "Why Do Children Move into and out of Low Income: Changing Labour Market Conditions or Marriage and Divorce"
(http://www.statcan.ca/english/research/11F0019MIE/11F0019MIE1999132.pdf).

Hospital Personnel
Question
I have a student who is looking for data on staffing in Ontario hospitals - her question was "Are there any data bases that list staff in hospitals by occupation?" By staff she means members of the health care team -- doctors, nurses, pharmacists etc., and she wants this by hospital if at all possible.
The Statistics Canada publication Hospital Statistics used to contain this information, but I can't find anything since the databases were turned over to CIHI. Anything I'm missing?
Answer
You are right. These data are now collected by CIHI and not by STC anymore.
