- Enquête canadienne sur l'utilisation d'Internet
(source: Statistique Canada / via CultureLibre.ca, 17/06/08)
Près des trois quarts (73 %) des Canadiens âgés de 16 ans et plus, soit 19,2 millions, ont utilisé Internet à des fins personnelles au cours des 12 mois ayant précédé l'enquête. Il s'agit d'une hausse par rapport à la proportion d'un peu plus de deux tiers (68 %) enregistrée en 2005, lorsque l'enquête a été menée pour la dernière fois.
Pour la première fois, l'enquête englobait les jeunes âgés de 16 et de 17 ans. Ils ont été à l'origine de près d'un point de pourcentage des cinq points d'augmentation de l'utilisation d'Internet observés entre 2005 et 2007.
