Status of Women committee  I am going to let my colleague answer the first question, and I will answer the second.

Status of Women committee  I don't think we have really measured our output of statistics by gender, but I'm pretty sure from the example I gave that, over time, we have increased the amount of sex disaggregated data available. As I mentioned as well, it's our seventh edition of “Women in Canada”. In each

Status of Women committee  Certainly. Initially, I had the feeling that we were perhaps not being as proactive as we should have been, but, as I said, I have written to all the departments in the last few weeks, and I have many examples of departments that use our data. At Statistics Canada, we are organi

Status of Women committee  As often as we can: I think sex is probably one of the key characteristics that's given in all our statistics.

Status of Women committee  If other departments have indicated there's a lack of data, I'm pretty sure they don't know how much data we have. As I mentioned in my presentation, I just did a call last week and had a fantastic response on how departments are using the data. A lot of departments are really us

Status of Women committee  Good afternoon. Thank you for inviting us today. Today is a special day for StatsCan. It's the official 2016 census day, so I'm very happy to be here.

Status of Women committee  Do you mean a match?

Status of Women committee  What I was referring to was really unpaid work, unpaid help. Of course, there is paid help and there are, I think, more women taking care of seniors. Either paid or unpaid, I think women take on a higher burden of supporting or caregiving.

Status of Women committee  I don't have the stats in front of me. It's a good question and I'm sure I can look for that.

Status of Women committee  For most, if not all, of our surveys, we do collect gender, so we can always compare the situation of men and women, including aboriginal women. In 2012 we did the Aboriginal Peoples Survey again, for the fourth time, so we have a breadth of information on aboriginal people and

Status of Women committee  Well, if you refer to access to child care, certainly aboriginal women are also—I would have to check—probably facing the same issue. Aboriginals in general tend to have more children at a younger age, so it can be a barrier to participation in the workplace, and also to completi

Status of Women committee  The notes you have distributed mention a document titled Women in Canada, which contains a whole chapter on aboriginal women.
