The Household Internet Use Survey (HIUS) was conducted for the seventh time in January 2004 for the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division at Statistics Canada. The annual HIUS collects detailed data on the Internet activities of Canadian households. It reports on Canadians using the Internet and measures the extent of their use, location of use, frequency of use and their reasons for using or not using the Internet. In 1999, data on electronic commerce (e-commerce) from home were provided. With 2003 data, users can study the growth of e-commerce by tracking orders, purchases or use of Internet that influence acquisition of products or services. This survey ended in 2003. Subsequent surveys were conducted under the title Canadian Internet Use Survey.
