  timeout = 200
)

language	"en" or "english" for English and "fr" or "french" for French language versions (default is set to English)
refresh	(Optional) When set to TRUE, forces a reload of data table (default is FALSE)
timeout	(Optional) Timeout in seconds for downloading cansim table to work around scenarios where StatCan servers drop the network connection.
