Abstract: 


The Household Internet Use Survey is being conducted by Statistics Canada on behalf 
of Industry Canada. The information from this survey will assist the Science and Technology 
Redesign Project at Statistics Canada to fulfil a three-year contractual agreement between them 
and the Telecommunications and Policy Branch of Industry Canada. The Household Internet Use Survey 
is a voluntary survey. It will provide information on the use of computers for communication purposes, 
and households' access and use of the Internet from home. The objective of this survey is to measure 
the demand for telecommunications services by Canadian households. To assess the demand, we measure the 
frequency and intensity of use of what is commonly referred to as "the information highway" among other 
things. This was done by asking questions relating to the accessibility of the Internet to Canadian 
households both at home, the workplace and a number of other locations.
