Under the Statistics Act, Statistics Canada is mandated to collect, compile, analyze, abstract and publish statistical information relating to the commercial, industrial, financial, social, economic and general activities and condition of the people and promote the avoidance of duplication in the information collected by departments of government. The use of administrative data allows Statistics Canada to improve data quality and meet new and ongoing statistical needs, while reducing data collection costs and the response burden on Canadians. The purpose of the Administrative Data Pre-processing Project (ADP) is to support the mandate and modernization of the Census, Regional Services, and Operations Field by centralizing and automating reception, pre-processing, and deidentification activities related to administrative data at Statistics Canada.
A privacy impact assessment for Administrative Data Pre-processing Project (ADP) was conducted to determine if there were any privacy, confidentiality or security issues with this initiative and, if so, to make recommendations for their resolution or mitigation.
In accordance with data acquisition agreements between Statistics Canada and external Data Providers, Demeter, a by-product of ADP, will pre-process administrative data assets by means of performing a collection of automated activities. As part of these activities, prior to making the data available for analysis, Demeter will deidentify the data by isolating all direct personal information elements from the other microdata contents. Direct personal information elements removed during pre-processing will be stored in an access-restricted secure storage environment for further deidentification activities to be applied by downstream linkage systems; such as the assignment of longitudinal identifiers and/or code-sets.
Introducing efficiencies to mitigate existing gaps allows internal operations to effectively support socioeconomic indicators and empirical based decision making. Though, what remains paramount is that the processes put into effect remain secure and transparent to meet the expectations of Canadians in the wake of an ever growing digitally driven society and economy. Modernizing our infrastructure allows us to revisit the ways in which we approach the handling and storage of direct personal information elements, ensuring that the privacy of Canadians is protected and uncompromised. The operationalization of modern infrastructure, such as ADP, allows for Statistics Canada to remain a trustworthy source of national statistical information for the benefit of all Canadians.
Given the nature of administrative data contents, direct personal information elements are often present and require deidentification. In the event that an administrative data reception includes personal information, deemed employees must consult with the respective Data Steward to identify variables within the schema for deidentification. Internal data availability and usage cannot continue until the respective schema has been approved by the Data Steward. Supporting a modernized metadata driven process, all subsequent receptions adhering to the approved schema are automatically deidentified by using metadata captured within the approved schema.
Implementing ADP does not introduce new methods of gathering data from Canadians. Instead, ADP leverages existing secure infrastructure to allow for the reception of administrative data from external administrative data providers into a modernized cloud based system. The use of administrative data allows Statistics Canada to improve data quality and meet new and ongoing statistical needs, while reducing data collection costs and the response burden on Canadians. Supporting the reception of administrative data, ADP further reduces operational costs by automating ingestion and validation activities. All data ingested by Demeter are transitory, in that microdata is not stored within the system following the successful completion of pre-processing activities.
The PIA identifies the level of potential risk (level 1 is the lowest level of potential risk and level 4 is the highest) associated with the following risk areas:
Program or activity that does not involve a decision about an identifiable individual.
Risk scale: 1
Social Insurance Number, medical, financial or other sensitive personal information or the context surrounding the personal information is sensitive; personal information of minors or of legally incompetent individuals or involving a representative acting on behalf of the individual.
Risk scale: 3
Private sector organizations, international organizations or foreign governments.
Risk scale: 4
Long-term program or activity.
Risk scale: 3
The program’s use of personal information is not for administrative purposes. Information is collected for statistical purposes, under the authority of the Statistics Act.
Risk scale: N/A
The personal information is transmitted using wireless technologies.
Risk scale: 4
In the event that an administrative data reception includes direct personal information elements, delegated Data Stewards must identify variables within the schema for deidentification. Applying a metadata driven approach allows for each reception thereafter, by default and without exception, to be deidentified through the use of metadata captured within the approved schema. Introducing this new process to support the collection and handling of direct personal information ensures that the privacy of Canadians remains at the forefront by limiting the presence and circulation of personal information to the reception and deidentification stages.
There is a potential risk that, in the event of a privacy breach, there would be an impact on the individual or employee. While microdata is not stored in Demeter in perpetuity, transitory microdata containing direct personal information elements is stored up until deidentification has occurred. Should the process fail, such microdata is accessible by a limited number of deemed employees in order to resolve the issue. The potential risk of a privacy breach is significantly reduced in comparison to the traditional methods of administrative data pre-processing.
Yes, there is a potential risk that, in the event of a privacy breach, there would be a reduction in the public’s trust of the institution, an impact on the participation of critical Data Providers, and the Agency’s ability to provide Canadians with essential socioeconomic and statistical measures.
This assessment of the Administrative Data Pre-processing Project (ADP) did not identify any privacy risks that cannot be managed using existing safeguards.

Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).
Include:
Exclude:
Include:
Exclude:
Report the value of the projects expected to be put in place during the year. Include the gross expenditures (including subsidies) on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Include all capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees as well as work done by your own labour force. Include all additions to work in progress.
New Assets, Renovation, Retrofit, includes both existing assets being upgraded and acquisitions of new assets.
Definition: Used fixed assets may be defined as existing buildings, structures or machinery and equipment which have been previously used by another organization in Canada that you have acquired during the time period being reported on this questionnaire.
Explanation: The objective of our survey is to measure gross annual new acquisitions to fixed assets separately from the acquisition of gross annual used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole.
Hence, the acquisition of a used fixed Canadian asset should be reported separately since such acquisitions would not change the aggregates of our domestic inventory of fixed assets, it would simply mean a transfer of assets within Canada from one organization to another.
Imports of used assets, on the other hand, should be included with the new assets (Column 1) because they are newly acquired for the Canadian economy.
Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.
Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated.
Report the value of residential structures including the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
Exclude:
The exclusions should be included in the appropriate construction (e.g., non-residential) asset.
Building construction represents any permanent structure with walls and a roof affording protection and shelter from and for a social and/or physical environment for people and/or materials.
For example, building construction represents expenditures on aircraft hangars, factories, hospitals, hotels, office buildings, railway stations, schools and shopping centres.
Report the total cost incurred during the year of building construction (contract and by own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others.
Include also:
Engineering construction encompasses the direct or indirect conveyance of people, machinery, materials, gases, and/or electrical impulses. It also includes free standing structures which contain or restrain such objects either as part of such conveyance or separately and independently.
In addition, the cost associated with significantly altering any terrain in the preparation for specialized use of that terrain will fall under engineering construction.
Report the total cost incurred during the year of engineering construction (contract and by own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Include also:
Report total cost incurred during the year of all new machinery, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Any capitalized tooling should also be included. Include progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made. Receipts from the sale of your own fixed assets or allowance for scrap or trade-in should not be deducted from your total capital expenditures. Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.
Include:
Capital expenditures for software should include all costs associated with the purchase or development of software.
Include:
Research and experimental development (R&D) comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge – including knowledge of humankind, culture and society – and to devise new applications of available knowledge.
For an activity to be an R&D activity, it must satisfy five core criteria:
The term R&D covers three types of activity: basic research, applied research and experimental development. Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view. Applied research is original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific, practical aim or objective. Experimental development is systematic work, drawing on knowledge gained from research and practical experience and producing additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes or to improving existing products or processes.

Include:
Exclude:
Include acquisition costs and fees for oil and gas rights (include bonuses, legal fees and filing fees), and oil and gas retention costs
These expenditures include geological, geophysical and seismic expenses, exploration drilling, and other costs incurred during the reporting period in order to determine whether oil or gas reserves exist and can be exploited commercially. Report gross expenditures, before deducting any incentive grants, incurred for oil and gas activities on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees. Exclude the cost of land acquired from other oil and gas companies.
Include capital expenditures on buildings such as office buildings, camps, warehouses, maintenance garages, workshops, and laboratories. Fixtures, facilities and equipment that are integral parts of the building are included.
Include all infrastructure, other than buildings, such as the cost of well pads, extraction and processing infrastructure and plants, upgrading units, transportation infrastructure, water and sewage infrastructure, tailings, pipelines and wellhead production facilities (pumpjacks, separators, etc.). Include all preconstruction planning and design costs such as development drilling, regulatory approvals, environmental assessments, engineering and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, as well as site clearance and preparation. Equipment which is installed as an integral or built-in feature of a fixed structure (e.g. casings, tanks, steam generators, pumps, electrical apparatus, separators, flow lines, etc.) should be reported with the construction asset; however, when the equipment is replaced within an existing structure, the replacement cost should be reported in machinery and equipment (sustaining capital).
Include transportation equipment for people and materials, computers, software, communication equipment, and processing equipment not included in the above categories.
