Dear Mary:
 
You may also want to look at the Public Health Agency of Canada website.  They cover many health issues including maternity services.  The link for Health Pregnancy and Infancy   is  http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/hp-ps/index-eng.php#hp.
The Canadian Maternity Experiences Survey is a recent publication which may be of particular interest depending on your reason for taking interest in services in Canada....
 
Regards
