Households and the Environment Survey (HES) 2017
Question:
I have a request from a researcher who would like access to the most recent HES microdata from 2017.
According the website, the main release date for the survey data was January 28, 2019, but a search in the DLI collection and the Statistics Canada website Data catalogue only finds the 2015 survey data.
(I was only able to find the Households and the Environment: Radon awareness and testing 2017 from the STATCAN website)
http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&Id=433427
Could you tell me the main release for 2017 is available, and if so, where I can direct the researcher. Also, will there be a PUMF available for this survey (and if so, when will it be available)?
Answer:
Here is the response from subject matter:
“The release has been delayed and will likely take place by the middle of March.”
The PUMF has also been delayed and there is unfortunately no foreseeable date for its release.

Discrimination at school based on language?
Question:
A researcher is looking for data on discrimination in education (school: elementary, secondary or postsecondary) based on language. We note that various GSS surveys and the Public Service Employee Survey have questions on discrimination based on language linked to work (and even types of discrimination at work in the case of the GSS cycle 30) but not linked to school. Is there anything that we are missing?
Answer:
We’ve received the following response from subject matter:
“It appears that at this time we do not have information of this sort. However, C34 of the GSS will and will be starting collection in April with a scheduled release date of November 2020.”

2016 Census Individuals PUMF Question: Weights Missing
Question:
A researcher here has reported that the 2016 individuals PUMF has no weights for the Stata and ASCII versions. I just checked the SPSS version and that’s the case there, too. I can’t open the SAS file, but I’m not sure if that’s an error with the file or with my version of SAS.
In any event, from SPSS (looks better in a monospaced typeface):
Statistics
Individuals weighting factor
|-|-------|------|
|N|Valid |0 |
| |-------|------|
| |Missing|930421|
|----------------|
Individuals weighting factor
|--------------|---------|-------|
| |Frequency|Percent|
|-------|------|---------|-------|
|Missing|System|930421 |100.0 |
|--------------------------------|
Can anybody offer any insight into this? Would someone mind checking the SAS version?

Can anybody offer any insight into this? Would someone mind checking the SAS version?
Answer:
I’m very sorry for all of the confusion regarding the Census PUMF! I think the issue was simply in my SPSS settings on my computer during staging… It looks as if I’ve been able to correct the weight issue (but please let me know if you notice anything that’s “off”).
I’ve also added the SAS, SPSS, and Stata “Command Files” to the RAW data folder for your use as well. I apologize again for the wait with this – it’s the first time we’ve seen these types of files and wanted to confirm that we could distribute them first!
Hospital-Level Employment Data
Question:
I’ve got a researcher interested in turnover/retention, absenteeism, and injury rates for nurses at Ontario hospitals. I know CIHI has some related data at the province level, but does anyone know of any source more granular? We’ll be looking at the LHIN level too (for as long as Ontario still has them…)
Answer:
We’ve been able to track down the following on our end:
“Please note that we have very limited information on Ontario nurse turnover/retention, absenteeism, and injury rates, however, we have found some information on injuries from the Ontario government Web site that could be of interest for you:
Injuries
https://www.ontario.ca/document/health-care-sector-plan-2017-18/health-care-sector-injury-statistics
Also, we have found some information on turnover/retention, absenteeism from the College of Nurses of Ontario:
Turnover
http://www.cno.org/en/news/2016/december-2016/2016-statistics-reports-now-available/
To obtain additional information, we suggest contacting both of these organisation.”

Labour Force Survey (LFS) – January 2019
We are pleased to inform you that the following product is now available.
Labour Force Survey (LFS) – January 2019
This public use microdata file contains non-aggregated data for a wide variety of variables collected from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The LFS collects monthly information on the labour market activities of Canada's working age population. This product is for users who prefer to do their own analysis by focusing on specific subgroups in the population or by cross-classifying variables that are not in our catalogued products. The Labour Force Survey estimates are based on a sample, and are therefore subject to sampling variability. Estimates for smaller geographic areas, industries, occupations or cross tabulations will have more variability. For an explanation of sampling variability of estimates, and how to use standard errors to assess this variability, consult the Data Quality section in the Guide to the Labour Force Survey.
