According to Statistics Canada, Canada's population in 2006 was estimated to be 31 612 897. This represents a growth of 5.4% since the 2001 estimate of 30 007 094. Almost all of Canada's population is concentrated in a narrow band along the country’s southern edge. The population is also concentrated by province: Ontario and Quebec contain between them 62% of the total population.
