1.
In 1995, the transportation equipment industry is included in "other manufacturing" because of data quality constraints.
2.
Detail of the expenditure breakdown by type of environmental protection activity is only available for the listed industries.
3.
Before 1997 the wood products industry was included with "other manufacturing".
4.
Before the 1998 reference year establishments were selected based on the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC). However, beginning with reference year 1998, industry selection was based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). For further information, see Statistics Canada, 2001, Environmental Protection Expenditures in the Business Sector, catalogue no. 16F0006X.
5.
Operating expenditures on wildlife and habitat protection are included with operating expenditures on reclamation and decommissioning.
6.
Before the 1998 reference year, pipeline transportation was included with gas distribution systems.
7.
As of reference year 1998, the Survey of Environmental Protection Expenditures is conducted every two years.
8.
Operating expenditures on wildlife and habitat protection are included with operating expenditures on other.
9.
Before 2000 the fabricated metal products industry was included with "other manufacturing".
