Confidentiality
The Statistics Act protects the confidentiality of information collected by Statistics Canada.
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation.

For this survey, there are data sharing agreements with Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. Shared data will be limited to information from the respective province or territory. Each provincial or territorial Statistics Act includes the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of
information as the Statistics Act.
Statistics Canada has entered into data sharing agreements under Section 12 of the Statistics Act with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Statistics Bureaus of Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Under Section 12 of the Statistics Act you may refuse to share your information by writing to the Chief Statistician and returning your letter of objection along with the completed questionnaire in the enclosed return envelope.
