Tuesday, March 29, 2005 International trade in culture goods: Releases recalled2003 and 2004Statistics Canada has uncovered what could be significant errors in the data on the international trade of culture goods released in The Daily of March 29, 2005, May 19, 2005 and May 24, 2005. Due to a technical problem in the data extraction process, many of the values for the import and export of culture goods for the years 1996-2004 - including overall totals and trends - are incorrect. We have fixed the technical problems that produced the errors and have corrected our quality control processes to ensure that they will not happen again. We will replace the news releases once new data and analysis have been produced and validated thoroughly. We deeply regret any inconvenience this error may have caused our project partners at the Department of Canadian Heritage or our other data users. Detailed data tables in the electronic publication Culture trade - goods: data tables (87-007-XIE, free) have been removed from Statistics Canada’s Web site. They will be updated with the revised data. Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 5088.
