met the guys at Statistics Canada. Basically in order for Stats to
release the data as part of any survey etc they need it to be licensed
to them in a form they can use. Once that is done then Stats can do
with it as they please. They make a lot of money out of producing
surveys by combining data that show where the best location for a new
coffee shop etc. is and that is often the driving force behind their geo
data side.<br>
