DLI PRESENTATION

This presentation discusses the challenges and strategies in producing Public Use Microdata Files (PUMFs) for surveys at Statistics Canada. Key highlights include the necessity of evaluating survey costs, adjustments in PUMF content, and limited software tools. The presentation also emphasizes the commitment to producing legacy survey files dating back to October 1998, while seeking additional financial support for continued PUMF creation and documentation. Effective communication with the Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) is essential for addressing priorities and gathering feedback on produced files.
