New data sets at the RDC: 

Survey of Financial Security (SFS)

The purpose of the SFS is to collect information from a sample of Canadian households on their assets, debts, employment, income and education. It provides a comprehensive picture of the financial health and net worth of Canadians. Information is collected on the value of all major financial and non-financial assets and on the money owing on mortgages, vehicles, credit cards, student loans and other debts.
