New data sets at the RDC: 

Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS) - 2020

The 2020 Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS) aims to measure the adoption and use of digital technologies by individual residents of Canada 15 years of age and over, living in the provinces. The information gathered will help to better understand how the Internet and other digital technologies are changing the way we work, play and interact with others.
 
The CIUS examines Internet access and use, the use of Internet-connected smart devices and smartphones, social connections in the digital age, the use of government online services, e-commerce, digital skills, security, privacy and the confidence Canadians place on digital technologies, online work and the changes in use of digital tech as a result of COVID-19. The CIUS also measures barriers to: Internet access and use, online services, and using various digital technologies.
