Residential Telephone Service Survey, 2013
Abacus Data Network
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2015-01-14 The Residential Telephone Service Survey (RTSS) has been conducted since the fall of 1996. The RTSS monitors residential phone penetration rates. Initially, the survey was sponsored by Bell Canada to assess reasons why certain households did not have telephone service. Later, with the increased popularity of cellular phones, the focus of the survey switched to the types of telephone service used by households. Survey results will be used by statisticians to calculate chances of reaching households by telephone.

Employment Insurance Coverage Survey, 2011 [2013]
Abacus Data Network
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2013-07-16 The main purpose of this survey is to study the coverage of the employment insurance program. It provides a meaningful picture of who does or does not have access to EI benefits among the jobless and those in a situation of underemployment. The Employment Insurance Coverage Survey also covers access to maternity and parental benefits. The survey was designed to produce a series of precise measures to identify groups with low probability of receiving benefits, for instance, the long-term jobless, labour market entrants and students, people becoming unemployed after uninsured employment, people who have left jobs voluntarily and individuals who are eligible, given their employment history, but do not claim or otherwise receive benefits. The survey provides a detailed description of the characteristics of the last job held as well as reasons for not receiving benefits or for not claiming. Through the survey data, analysts will also be able to observe the characteristics and situation of people not covered by EI and of those who exhausted EI benefits, the job search intensity of the unemployed, expectation of recall to a job, and alternate sources of income and funds. Survey data pertaining to maternity and parental benefits answer questions on the proportion of mothers of an infant who received maternity and parental benefits, the reason why some mothers do not receive benefits and about sharing parental benefits with their spouse. The survey also allows looking at the timing and circumstances related to the return to work, the income adequacy of households with young children and more.

Households and the Environment Survey, 2013
Abacus Data Network
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2015-03-16 The objective of the survey is to provide context to scientific measures of air and water quality, and greenhouse gas emissions, by gaining a better understanding of household behaviour and practices with respect to the environment. Since the HES was first conducted in 1991, environmental priorities and concerns have changed for Canadians. The quality of drinking water, the impact of residential pesticide use and the impact of hazardous waste on human health are only some of the newer issues that have moved to the forefront of Canadians' collective consciousness. Changes in environmental practices and behaviours are reflective of these growing concerns. In order to gauge these changes, the HES measures some of the same environmental variables that were measured by the HES in previous cycles; however other environmental practices have been measured as well.

Survey on Smoking in Canada - 1994-1995
Abacus Data Network
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2010-07-23 The first cycle of the Survey on Smoking in Canada was conducted by Statistics Canada between April 20 and June 1, 1994. This was the first of four quarterly surveys on cigarette smoking, and was done with the cooperation and support of Health Canada. The three remaining cycles took place in August and November 1994 and February 1995. The respondents from the first cycle were re-contacted for cycles 2-4. The core set of questions about current smoking behaviour were repeated in each cycle; but each cycle also had a new set of questions focusing on a particular area of interest about smoking. The major objectives of the survey are: (1) to measure prevalence of cigarette smoking and amount smoked, (2) to measure changes in prevalence and changes in amount smoked, (3) to measure the effect of price on prevalence and on amount smoked, and (4) to measure these items in ways that are consistent with past surveys and planned future surveys. The secondary objectives are to gain some insight into attitudes toward cigarette smoking and behaviours related to smoking.

The file provides data for Canada, the provinces and census metropolitan areas and includes information on a wide range of topics, including water quality concerns; consumption and conservation of water; energy use and home heating and cooling; pesticide and fertilizer use on lawns and gardens; recycling, composting and waste disposal practices. It also provides information on the socio-demographic, income and labour force characteristics of the population.

Public Service Employee Survey, 2008 [2012]
Abacus Data Network
Statistics Canada. Special Surveys Division — 2012-03-22 The Public Service Employee Survey was designed to solicit the views of Public Service employees on their work environment and overall job satisfaction. Employees expressed their opinions on their work units, their communications with their supervisors, skills and career aspirations, client services and labour management relations. General information such as age, gender, years of service and province of work were collected and questions were asked on specific themes such as staffing fairness, official languages, health and safety, harassment and discrimination and retention issues. The results were aggregated at the department and Public Service-wide levels. The survey ensures a measurement capacity between the 1999, 2002 and 2005 questionnaires. In 2008, the 2005 questionnaire was used as the basis for the survey. New questions were added to construct an employee engagement model that will be used to evaluate each organization. As well, the scale of the response category was increased from 4 to 5 to include a neutral category
