Traditionally,
the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) had been the source of Statistics Canada's
annual income estimates. Starting with data for the 1998 reference
year, the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) became the major source
of annual cross-sectional income estimates, in addition to producing longitudinal
income data.
