The gap between Canada's wealthiest families and the poorest has widened, several studies showed Wednesday.

The net worth of the wealthiest families rose 19 per cent between 1999 and 2005 while the poorest strata of families saw their situation unchanged, Statistics Canada said in a report that examined labour and income. A Toronto-Dominion Bank report, meantime, found the wealthiest families received almost three-quarters of the total increase in wealth over that time period.
