4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

Fertilizer Shipments Survey – Canadian Retail Distributors Report

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted on behalf of Fertilizer Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to produce statistics on shipments of fertilizer in Canada by manufacturers, wholesale distributors and major retail distributors. This information is essential to support Canada's international reporting obligations of inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

Mandatory participation

Given the important uses of its results, participation in the Fertilizer Shipments Survey is required by law.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Fertilizer Shipments Survey – Canadian Wholesale Distributors

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted on behalf of Fertilizer Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to produce statistics on shipments of fertilizer in Canada by manufacturers, wholesale distributors and major retail distributors. This information is essential to support Canada's international reporting obligations of inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

Mandatory participation

Given the important uses of its results, participation in the Fertilizer Shipments Survey is required by law.

Business or organization and contact information

1. Verify or provide the business or organization's legal and operating name and correct where needed.

Legal Name
The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.

Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.

To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

2019 submissions

Distributions of household economic accounts (DHEA) (001-2019)

Distributions of household economic accounts (DHEA) (001-2019)

Purpose: DHEA provides household distributional statistics of income, consumption, savings and wealth based on national accounts estimates. Information on disparities among households that is consistent with macroeconomic indicators enriches the understanding of economic developments and allows for a more complete assessment of the risks associated with, for example, rising inequality of income, consumption, savings and wealth.

Output: DHEA is released annually, providing distributions by income quintile, by age group, by province/territory and by household type. Additional distributions will be made available to users as new source data is exploited and the estimates are developed.

Evaluating the Information Content in the Business Outlook Survey (002-2019)

Evaluating the Information Content in the Business Outlook Survey (002-2019)

Purpose: To evaluate the information content in the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook Survey. This will be achieved by linking data of all firms in the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook Survey (BOS) to Statistics Canada's Business Registry and administrative firm data sources (specifically the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File) over the period 2000-2017. The goal of this project is to compare the information content of the BOS to Statistics Canada administrative data sources and how administrative data can complement the survey.

Output: Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and linked analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada's policies and standards. The linkage will be performed at Statistics Canada by Statistics Canada staff, and the link files will be kept in a secure, password-protected server. Access to direct identifiers and linked files will be restricted to Statistics Canada staff whose assigned work duties require such access. All direct business identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. External researchers can only access the linked data in the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research, on Statistics Canada premises, and under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees. The linked file will be retained in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, until no longer required, at which time it will be destroyed.

The impact of Intellectual Property on the Canadian Economy (003-2019)

The impact of Intellectual Property on the Canadian Economy (003-2019)

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to examine the role individuals play in the generation of intellectual property, in the leveraging of that intellectual property to drive firm performance, and in the diffusion of the skills for innovation across the economy. The project will inform the Government of Canada's Innovation and Skills Plan and Intellectual Property Strategy, particularly in the areas of skills development, the diffusion of knowledge, and intellectual property awareness among individuals from various socio-economic backgrounds.

Output: Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and linked analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada's policies and standards. All direct business and individual identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. External researchers can only access the linked analysis file in the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research, on Statistics Canada premises, and under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees. The linked file will be retained in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, until no longer required, at which time it will be destroyed.

LASS 2016 to Census 2016, Census 2011 and NHS 2011 Linkage (004-2019)

LASS 2016 to Census 2016, Census 2011 and NHS 2011 Linkage (004-2019)

Purpose: The resulting data from this microdata linkage will be used by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation to better understand the housing, dwelling and other complementary characteristics of a cohort of Canadian veterans, who have been identified as an at-risk population in the latest national housing strategy.

Output: The resulting aggregated data will be disseminated in a tabular format. Only non-confidential aggregated statistics and analytical output that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act and any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Linkage of the National Dose Registry to cancer and mortality outcomes, an update (005-2019)

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to the update the linkage of the National Dose Registry to the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) and the Canadian Vital Statistics Death (CVSD) database with the aim to continue to assess long-term health effects that may be related to occupational exposure to radiation. Occupational health and safety legislation establishes thresholds for occupational exposure, as well as workplace and personal protective measures, in order to minimize the hazards related for those whose work includes exposure to radiation. The effects of occupational exposure to radiation are not always apparent in the short term and may take several years to manifest themselves. As such, it is important that epidemiological studies are performed to help establish any long term health effects that may be linked to radiation exposure.

Outputs: The linked de-identified data will be available to deemed employees of Health Canada within the Federal Research Data Centre (FRDC) and to other researchers within the Research Data Centers (RDC). Results of the study will serve to better inform the general public on cancer and mortality outcomes related to occupational exposure to radiation and will provide policymakers, employers and employees with information that may be used to guide health and safety legislation or workplace practices relating to occupational radiation exposure.

Municipal Wastewater Systems in Canada (MWSC): Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Effluent Regulatory Reporting Information System (ERRIS) linkage to Census Data (006-2019)

Purpose: The main objective of this project is to assign a population served value to records of wastewater (sewage) systems reported to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) via the Effluent Regulatory Reporting Information System (ERRIS), as required under the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulation (WSER). The linkage will be on-going.

Output: The record linkage of census and WSER data is necessary to produce tables of population serviced by public wastewater (sewage) systems. These new tables will facilitate Canada's reporting obligations to the Organization for Economic Cooperative Development (OECD) and support new indicators for the Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI).

Adding Gender to the Corporations Returns Act (CRA) database (007-2019)

Adding Gender to the Corporations Returns Act (CRA) database (007-2019)

Purpose: The Corporations Returns Act (CRA) program was identified as a potential source of information regarding gender diversity on corporate boards. Although the CRA does compile information on board governance and control, it does not collect information on the gender profile of the directors. The results of a record linkage between the CRA data and the Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE) combined with imputation methods permit the integration of a sex field onto the CRA database. Statistics on the composition of corporate boards and more specifically on women having a governance role on boards of directors can then be produced. While information of this nature is produced by the private sector, their observations focus on boards of publicly traded corporations. The CRA provides information on board composition of public, private and government businesses. The CRA data compiles this detailed information at the enterprise level but also at the legal entity level. This provides further insight into the overall gender distribution of governance roles within the entire corporate structure and not solely from the top executive board of the enterprise. This initiative is aligned with the priorities of the Government regarding a diverse and inclusive Canada and also contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as part of achieving gender equality.

Output: Only aggregate statistical outputs and analyses will be released, subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act. Disclosure control rules will be applied in order to safeguard the privacy of individual Canadians' personal information. Data validation processes will be established in order to ensure the accuracy of all disseminated materials, including tabulations and analytical products.

Between and within-firm earnings inequality in Canada (008-2019)

Purpose: This paper will combine business data with data on individual earnings to study trends in earnings inequality from 1998 to 2017. This study will investigate earnings at the individual as well as the firm level to determine the extent to which overall inequality levels are driven by earnings disparities between different firms and within firms.

Output: All access to the linked microdata file will be restricted to Statistics Canada personnel whose work activities require access. Only aggregate data that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Findings will be used in research papers and in presentations at workshops and conferences.

Indian Register linked to tax data, (Longitudinal Indian Register Database (LIRD)) (009-2019)

Indian Register linked to tax data, (Longitudinal Indian Register Database (LIRD)) (009-2019)

Purpose: By combining the Indian Register (IR) with annual tax data, this database would allow First Nations governments and organizations, analysts, and government departments to better understand the income trends of the Registered Indian population, as well as the impact of various policies. Due to its longitudinal design, this database is able to provide economic indicators over time, accompanied by various socio-demographic characteristics that add depth and nuance to analyses. Specific cohorts can be followed and the effects of policies or programs can be more accurately measured. Since this database combines administrative data sources, response burden is reduced compared to a survey with similar content. Furthermore, administrative databases, such as this one, are not affected by sample size limitations and are able to produce reliable estimates at a detailed level.

Output: Only aggregate statistical outputs and analyses will be released, subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act. Disclosure control rules will be applied in order to safeguard the privacy of individual Canadians' personal information. Data validation processes will be established in order to ensure the accuracy of all disseminated materials, including tabulations and analytical products.

While the database is being developed and tested, and its analytical potential is being explored, preliminary statistical outputs will be shared for discussion and engagement purposes only. During this feasibility phase, outputs will be released to Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) / Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), as well as to First Nations Governments, communities, and organizations, either on request or as part of planned engagement activities. Subsequent broader release of finalized statistical outputs will be considered in collaboration with stakeholders.

2016 Census of Population linkage to income tax files and benefits records to monitor tax filing behaviour and take-up rate of various benefit programs (011-2019)

Purpose: The purpose of this linkage is to obtain information on possible barriers to families and individuals receiving various benefits programs, and to provide more direct evidence on the take-up rate for these programs. Receipt of many government benefits is contingent upon filing an income tax return. This project will provide analysis of T1 tax filing profile and take-up rates of various benefits programs according to socio-demographics characteristics, analysis of the incidence of benefit take-up and the benefit receipts according to income levels, and analysis of the characteristics of the non-filers or those who do not receive the grants.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated tables, conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Confidentiality rules for the Census would be applied to all products before release.

The Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) (012-2019)

The Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) (012-2019)

Purpose: The objective of this initiative is to create a linked database that will support research on the relationships between labour market, income and hospitalizations including financial outcomes experienced by individuals and families following hospitalizations resulting from accidents and acute illness. The proposed linkage will combine data on acute inpatient hospitalizations with data on income and employment. The resulting analytical files will support a broad program of research related to income and hospitalizations including research on the economic consequences of ‘health shocks’ for individuals and their families and the implications for income, labour and health policies. The de-identified linked files will be made available to researchers through the Research Data Centres Network.

Output: Methodological and analytical findings resulting from these linked data will be used to prepare research papers for publication. Only non-confidential aggregate statistics that will not result in the identification of an individual person, business or organization will be released outside of Statistics Canada and the Research Data Centres.

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to create a linked dataset that will allow the study of women’s perinatal health at the population level, including the ability to assess the differences across various sociodemographic parameters. In order to achieve this purpose, information from the Canadian Vital Statistics Birth Database (CVSB) and the Canadian Vital Statistics Stillbirth Database (CVSS) will be used to create a cohort of mothers (Mothers File). The Mothers File will be linked to various administrative datasets including: the Immigrant Landing file, the T1 Family File, the long form Census (2001, 2006 and 2016) and the National Household Survey (2011) to add sociodemographic information about mothers. The Mothers File will also be linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) to examine maternal morbidity before and during pregnancy. In addition, the Mothers File will be linked to the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database (CVSD) to identify maternal deaths and study association between maternal mortality and maternal morbidity during pregnancy. Finally, a linkage of the CVSB and the CVSS to the CVSD will be undertaken in order to identify infant deaths and study the association of infant mortality with indicators of perinatal health among various subgroups.

Output: The linked data will be available to deemed employees with approved projects to use in a Research Data Center (RDC).

Linkage of Atlantic Indigenous Businesses to the Linkable File Environment (017-2019)

Linkage of Atlantic Indigenous Businesses to the Linkable File Environment (017-2019)

Purpose: The Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC) is conducting research on establishing benchmarks for the Digital Technology Industry in Atlantic Canada. This research project is being conducted on behalf of TechImpact and is funded by Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), Nova Scotia Business Inc. and Opportunities New Brunswick.

The proposed project would link a database of approximately 500 companies in Atlantic Canada that fit the definition of the digital technology sector to Statistics Canada administrative databases to build a simple profile of APEC client firms. The digital economy in Atlantic Canada is evolving rapidly but its size and impact are largely unknown. There are several sub-segments of Atlantic Canada’s digital economy that appear to be growing rapidly, such as big data and the internet of things, e-health, and cloud computing, e-commerce and cyber security. These industries are not adequately identified within the standard Information and Communication Technology (ICT) definition or within Statistics Canada’s new Digital Satellite Account. The LFE analysis of APEC’s custom database will provide important baseline and recent growth parameters that are not available currently. With a better understanding of the size, scope and growth dynamics of digital technology firms, governments and other organizations that support their growth, including training and education institutions, incubators and accelerators, and financing organizations, can make better policy decisions and ensure support services are of sufficient scale and appropriate design and scope.

To do so, APEC firm data are to be provided to Statistics Canada’s Centre for Special Business Projects for the linkage. The database provided to Statistics Canada will include: business name, mailing or street address, city/town, province, postal code, business phone number, and website address (if available).

Output: The output will be in the form of a profiling table which will present aggregate economic indicators such as the total revenue; sales; profits, exports and the number of employees by Atlantic province and by sector. The linked APEC list of businesses will be housed at Statistics Canada’s Centre for Special Business Project (CSBP).

A research dataset will be produced and the full integrated database will be used by CSBP to produce a custom-designed table of non-confidential aggregate statistics for the client. The output of this project will not be sent to the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research (CDER).

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Linkage of Nova Scotia NSBI (cohort_2018)) Businesses to the Linkable File Environment (018-2019)

Purpose: The proposed project would link a cohort of Nova Scotia businesses to Statistics Canada administrative databases to produce a statistic table based on the list of businesses in the cohort provide by Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI).

Information provided by the Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI) will include company name, and company address. These will be matched to businesses on the BR.

A dataset will be produced and the full integrated database will be maintained in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Centre for Special Business Projects (CSBP).

Output: The output will be in the form of tables which present a series of descriptive statistics for both all enterprises in Nova Scotia and for the cohort of enterprises provided by NSBI. The tables of interest will include: year by year changes in export value from 2014 to 2018; new exporter firms from 2014 to 2018; payroll changes year by year from 2014 to 2018; diversification of export markets.

These tables will be produced at the four digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) level if possible, although some industry results will only be at the three or two digit NAICS levels because of confidentiality reasons.

A table production dataset will be produced and the fully integrated database will be used by Statistics Canada’s Centre for Special Business Projects to produce a custom-designed table of non-confidential aggregate statistics for the client. The output of this project will not be sent to the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research (CDER).

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Digital Technologies, Firm Performance and Human Capital (031-2019)

Digital Technologies, Firm Performance and Human Capital (031-2019)

Purpose: Innovation in the form of adopting digital technologies has the potential to increase economic prosperity but also brings disruption. A lack of data means that policy makers and researchers struggle to evaluate best how to maximize the benefits and contain the negative impacts of these technologies. This project will link the Aberdeen Enterprise Technologies Indicators (2007-2018) database, from which detailed measures of technology adoption can be derived, to Statistics Canada’s Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (2001-2018), Census 2006 and 2016, and the National Household Survey 2011. The linkage to the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics database, Censuses and National Household Survey will allow the examination of how investments in digital technologies affect firm-level performance, employment and skill-levels within firms. The linkage with the Postsecondary Student Information System (2010-2018) data will allow the examination of how local firm-level digital technology investments affect current, potential and future employees’ educational choices. In particular, researchers are interested in enrollment in and graduation from information technology-related disciplines.

Output: Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and linked analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada's policies and standards. The linkage will be performed at Statistics Canada by Statistics Canada staff, and the link files will be kept in a secure, password-protected server. Access to direct identifiers and linked files will be restricted to Statistics Canada staff whose assigned work duties require such access. All direct business identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. External researchers will be able to access the linked data, without direct identifiers, on Statistics Canada premises, under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees. The data will be available in the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research (CDER) only.

Canadian Income Survey Plus (033-2019)

Canadian Income Survey Plus (033-2019)

Purpose: The purpose of this linkage is to improve the quality of income-related information produced by the Canadian Income Survey (CIS) by drawing income information from virtually all of the Labour Force Survey (LFS) sample. The CIS, which is collected from a sub-sample of the LFS, provides annual income and low income statistics for various family types, demographic characteristics and geographies. The linkage of the LFS sample to the Administrative Personal Income Masterfile (APIM) will improve the quality of income and low income estimates, without increasing response burden or survey costs. Furthermore, this larger sample will allow the release of more detailed estimates, particularly for small populations that are difficult to capture in the CIS sample.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated data and analytical products that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Canada Act and any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Linked analytical datasets (without any personal identifiers) will be accessible through the Research Data Centres.

Characteristics of Firms that Hire Temporary Foreign Workers: A Case Study of Meat Products Manufacturing and Fish and Seafood Product Industries. (035-2019)

Characteristics of Firms that Hire Temporary Foreign Workers: A Case Study of Meat Products Manufacturing and Fish and Seafood Product Industries. (035-2019)

Purpose: This study aims to better understand the characteristics of the firms’ use of the Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) Program, and the impact of TFWs on the Canadian labour market. The study will focus on two industries, the meat products manufacturing industry and the seafood product preparation and packaging industry.

Data from ESDC’s Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) database on the firms that used TFWs in these two industries during the 2008 to 2018 time period are linked to the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD) for the same years. The LMIA database provides the identity of the firms using TFWs, and CEEDD provides data on the firms’ characteristics and employees’ earnings data.

The linked database is used to: compare the characteristics of firms that use TFWs to those in the same industries that do not; model the number of TFWs used per firm; and to examine the employment earnings differential between employees in firms that have used TFWs and those in firms that have not used TFWs.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. The information will be presented in the form of tables of regression results and summary statistics related to the project’s goal of evaluating the TFW program.

Linkage of Canadian Space Agency data to the Linkable File Environment (036-2019)

Linkage of Canadian Space Agency data to the Linkable File Environment (036-2019)

Purpose: The proposed project would link the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Database to Statistics Canada administrative databases to produce statistical tables based on the list of companies with space-related activities in Canada.

Information provided by the Canadian Space Agency will include company name, company address; financial information (revenue; R&D expenditures…). These will be matched to businesses on Statistics Canada’s Business Register (BR).

A dataset will be produced and the full integrated database will be maintained in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Centre for Special Business Projects (CSBP).

Output: The output will be in the form of tables which present a series of descriptive statistics for enterprises surveyed by CSA in sectors of space-related activities. The tables of interest will present the mean of sales; employment; export; revenue by year, province and NAICS.

A table production dataset will be produced and the fully integrated database will be used by Statistics Canada’s Centre for Special Business Projects to produce a custom-designed table of non-confidential aggregate statistics for the client.

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Census shelter residents linkage project (037-2019)

Census shelter residents linkage project (037-2019)

Purpose: Employment and Social Development Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation have requested a data linkage of shelter residents to better understand the income and housing situations of persons enumerated in shelters during the 2011 and 2016 Census cycles. The linked file will be used for the development of analytical research projects that will aid in determining how to support the vulnerable Canadians in maintaining safe, stable and affordable housing.

Output: All access to the linked microdata file will be restricted to Statistics Canada personnel (including Statistics Canada deemed employees) whose work activities require approval and access. Research reports and presentations to various groups will be generated from the analysis file. Only non-confidential aggregate data or tables conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada's policies and standards. All direct identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. The analysis file will be made available to Statistics Canada researchers, and to deemed employees at the Statistics Canada Research Data Centres under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees. The analysis file will be retained in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, until no longer required, at which time it will be destroyed.

The out-of-pocket burden of cancer care for patients and survivors in Canada (038-2019)

The out-of-pocket burden of cancer care for patients and survivors in Canada (038-2019)

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to better understand the full scope and magnitude of the economic burden of out-of-pocket costs paid by cancer patients and survivors. To that end, the Survey of Household Spending (SHS) will be linked to the Canadian Cancer Registry. This linked cohort, as well as a case-matched control cohort, will be linked to the T1 Personal Master File (T1PMF), to health administrative databases such as the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) and the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS), and to the Canadian Vital Statistics Deaths Database (CVSD).

Output: All access to the linked microdata file will be restricted to Statistics Canada personnel (including Statistics Canada deemed employees) whose work activities require access. Only aggregate data that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Findings will be used in research papers and in presentations at workshops and conferences. Statistics Canada will also explore opportunities to collaborate with the client, as well as other partners, on data releases on this topic.

Receipt of disability benefits by Canadian adults with disabilities: a longitudinal study using linked data from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) with historical income statistics from T1 Family File (039-2019)

Receipt of disability benefits by Canadian adults with disabilities: a longitudinal study using linked data from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) with historical income statistics from T1 Family File (039-2019)

Purpose: This study will examine the feasibility and validity of linking the CSD to longitudinal data from the T1FF. This data could be used to inform policy stakeholders and to address important research questions. The data aims to provide the most up-to-date information on the use of disability benefits by Canadians aged 15 and over whose daily activities were limited due to a long-term condition or health-related problem. Second, socio-demographic characteristics of beneficiaries will be described. Thirdly, we will examine the association between disability characteristics (type, severity, and duration) and disability benefit receipt.

Output: a report and presentation deck on the validity of linking the CSD to longitudinal data from the T1FF will be prepared.

If successful, non-confidential aggregate data will be used for possible dissemination products such as research article(s), presentation decks, and/ or reports to stakeholders as well as a linked data file available in the RDCs.

British Columbia Basic Income Project: The Potential Impact of a Basic Income on Child Outcomes (040-2019)

British Columbia Basic Income Project: The Potential Impact of a Basic Income on Child Outcomes (040-2019)

Purpose: This project is part of a large study of the potential impact of a Basic Income as a policy tool for British Columbia. ‘Basic Income’ refers to a program of transfer payments, through which the government would guarantee that everyone has income that exceeds a specific minimum level. For example, through the Guaranteed Income Supplement and Old Age Security, people over age 65 in Canada are guaranteed to have an income no lower than $18,000 a year.

The project will estimate the impacts of existing transfers on childhood educational outcomes as a basis for predicting the impact of a Basic Income. The key research question is: do changes in transfer income for parents (including transfers from Income Assistance and Employment Insurance) affect children’s educational attainment, future success in the labour market, and future receipt of benefits?

The results of the study will have direct impacts on policy deliberations and, ultimately, on the form of the transfer system aimed at helping the most vulnerable in our society. The results would also likely serve as an input to discussions in other jurisdictions, including at the federal level.

Output: The linked analysis file, with all identifiers removed, will be made available to researchers with approved projects in the Statistics Canada Research Data Centres (RDCs) who are deemed employees of Statistics Canada.

In particular, for the purposes of the BC Basic Income study project, each researcher involved with the project will prepare a report. The reports will be disseminated in three ways:

1) They will become part of the overall project report to the BC government.

2) They will be compiled as chapters in a book on analysing basic income which, it is anticipated, will be published by the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) and sold publicly.

3) Researchers may convert their reports into academic papers, which they will submit to peer reviewed journals.

Feasibility study for identifying persons living in shelters using administrative data (041-2019)

Feasibility study for identifying persons living in shelters using administrative data (041-2019)

Purpose: To study the feasibility of providing more timely and frequent data sources for persons living in shelters by using administrative data.

While the Census can provide data for persons living in shelters, the Census only collects data every 5 years. By linking administrative data with the Dwelling Universe file, it may be possible to develop techniques to identify a certain portion of persons living in shelters using administrative data, which is available on an annual basis. An assessment of these methods will be performed by linking to Census data (2006 to 2016).

This would provide a timelier source of data to study persons living in shelters.

Output: Statistics Canada will prepare a set of analytical tables, containing only aggregate data which conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act and any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act.

Multi-use proposal for the 2016 Census long-form and the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) linkage project. (042-2019)

Multi-use proposal for the 2016 Census long-form and the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) linkage project. (042-2019)

Purpose: This project is intended to facilitate timely access of approved researchers operating in Statistic Canada’s Research Data Centres to detailed 2016 Census long-form characteristics data linked with annual snapshot files from the Longitudinal Administrative Database (LAD).

Output: Only non-confidential aggregate statistics and analyses conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

All products containing linked data will be disseminated in accordance with Statistics Canada's policies, guidelines and standards. Outputs from this linkage will include a wide range of analysis and standard data tables, as well as custom tabulations.

The Role of Firms in the Integration and Impact of Immigrants and Temporary Residents in Canada (043-2019)

The Role of Firms in the Integration and Impact of Immigrants and Temporary Residents in Canada (043-2019)

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to study: the career paths of immigrants and temporary residents; the role of firms in facilitating the integration and assimilation of immigrants to Canadian economy; and the impacts of immigrant and temporary residents on firm growth, international trade, innovation, and local labor markets. To carry out the project, a linked file consisting of immigrants and temporary residents in the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), a 20% sample of the Canadian-born population in the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD), and businesses in the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD) will be created. Existing linkages do not provide information on the employers where immigrants and temporary residents work. Results from this project can help Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada assess and improve the effectiveness of immigrant and temporary resident programs and develop policies to attract and retain the right skill and talents needed for new digital economy.

Output: Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and linked analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada’s policies and standards. All direct business and individual identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. The linked file will be retained in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, until no longer required, at which time it will be destroyed. External researchers can only access the firm-level information in Statistics Canada’s Researcher Data Centers (RDCs) that remove any direct identifiers and identifiable information. The firm-level information is transformed into categorical variables to prevent the identification of firms from the aggregation of the individual-level data. Only non-confidential aggregate statistics and analyses conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Linkage of power generation enterprises to the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP) (044-2019)

Linkage of power generation enterprises to the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP) (044-2019)

Purpose: The proposed project would link a database of approximately 400 firms affected and not affected by the clean energy transition to Statistics Canada administrative databases.

The clean energy transition presents both opportunities and challenges to Canadian workers, as some sectors are likely to contract, and some expand, when greenhouse gas policies are applied. An obvious example is in the electricity generation sector, where reducing greenhouse gas emissions may involve closure of coal-fired generating plants, and expansion of renewable power generating facilities. For example, in Canada, power generated by coal generating plants has decreased substantially since 2000 especially due to the phase-out of coal generation in Ontario, whereas power generated by wind has increased from near zero in 2005 to 6 percent of Canada's electricity supply as of 2018.

Statistics Canada’s Centre for Special Business Projects (CSBP) would like to examine how the clean energy transition is affecting Canadian workers but, more specifically, on how rapid changes in regulation, prices, and technology in the electricity generation sector have affected workers in this sector. Also, a special attention will be on the phase-out of coal fired electricity generation in Ontario as well as the rapid expansion of renewable generation across the country.

Consequently, with the mandate letters in mind, two research questions will be investigated:

  • What are the transitional impacts of coal-plant closure on employee outcomes?
  • What are the economics implications of renewable energy development?

To do so, data of firms affected and not affected by the clean energy transition will be provided to CSBP for the linkage. The database provided to Statistics Canada will include: business name, mailing or street address, city/town, province, postal code, business phone number, and website address (if available).

Output: The output will be in the form of an analytical document. The linked list of businesses will be housed at Statistics Canada’s Centre for Special Business Projects.

A research dataset will be produced and the full integrated database will also be maintained in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Centre for Special Business Projects.

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Financial statements, March 31, 2019

Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019, and all information contained in these statements rests with the management of Statistics Canada (the agency). These financial statements have been prepared by management using the Government of Canada's accounting policies, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the information in these financial statements. Some of the information in the financial statements is based on management's best estimates and judgment, and gives due consideration to materiality. To fulfill its accounting and reporting responsibilities, management maintains a set of accounts that provides a centralized record of the agency's financial transactions. Financial information submitted in the preparation of the Public Accounts of Canada, and included in the agency's Departmental Results Report, is consistent with these financial statements.

Management is also responsible for maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial information is reliable, that assets are safeguarded, and that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in accordance with the Financial Administration Act and other applicable legislation, regulations, authorities and policies.

Management seeks to ensure the objectivity and integrity of data in its financial statements through careful selection, training and development of qualified staff; through organizational arrangements that provide appropriate divisions of responsibility; through communication programs aimed at ensuring that regulations, policies, standards, and managerial authorities are understood throughout the agency and through conducting an annual risk-based assessment of the effectiveness of the system of ICFR.

The system of ICFR is designed to mitigate risks to a reasonable level based on an ongoing process to identify key risks, to assess the effectiveness of associated key controls, and to make any necessary adjustments.

A risk-based assessment of the system of ICFR for the year ended March 31, 2019 was completed in accordance with the Treasury Board Policy on Financial Management and the results and action plans are summarized in the annex, which can be found at the end of the notes to these financial statements.

The effectiveness and adequacy of the agency's system of internal control is reviewed by the work of internal finance staff, who conduct periodic assessments of different areas of the agency's operations, and by the Departmental Audit Committee (DAC), who provide advice to the Chief Statistician on the adequacy and effectiveness of the agency's risk management, control and governance frameworks and processes.

The financial statements of Statistics Canada have not been audited.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended March 31

1. Authority and objectives

Statistics Canada (the agency) was established in 1918, pursuant to the Statistics Act. The agency received full departmental status by order-in-council in 1965.

The agency is a division of the public service named in Schedule I.1 of the Financial Administration Act. The minister responsible for Statistics Canada is the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, who represents the agency in Parliament and in Cabinet.

The agency's mandate derives primarily from the Statistics Act. The act requires the agency — under the direction of the minister — to collect, compile, analyze, and publish statistical information on the economic, social, and general conditions of the country and its citizens. Statistics Canada has a mandate to coordinate and manage the country's statistical system.

The agency's mandate has two primary objectives:

  • Provide statistical information and analysis of the economic and social structure and functioning of Canadian society as a basis for the development, operation and evaluation of public policies and programs. This information is used for public and private decision-making, and for the general benefit of all Canadians.
  • Promote the quality, coherence, and international comparability of Canada's statistics through collaboration with other federal departments and agencies, with the provinces and territories, and in accordance with sound scientific standards and practices.

The agency reports on the two core responsibilities described below.

Statistical information - The agency has a responsibility to produce objective high-quality statistical information for the whole of Canada. The statistical information produced relates to the commercial, industrial, financial, social, economic, environmental and general activities and conditions of the people of Canada.

Internal services - Internal services are groups of related activities and resources that are administered to support the needs of programs and other corporate obligations of an organization.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared using the agency's accounting policies stated below, which are based on Canadian public sector accounting standards. The presentation and results using the stated accounting policies do not result in any significant differences from Canadian public sector accounting standards.

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

(a) Parliamentary authorities

The agency is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to the agency do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since authorities are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the Statement of Financial Position and in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position are not necessarily the same as those provided through authorities from Parliament. Note 3 provides a reconciliation between the bases of reporting. The planned results amounts in the "Expenses" and "Revenues" sections of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position are the amounts reported in the Future-oriented Statement of Operations included in the 2018-19 Departmental Plan. Planned results are not presented in the "Government funding and transfers" section of the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and in the Statement of Change in Departmental Net Debt because these amounts were not included in the 2018-19 Departmental Plan.

(b) Net cash provided by Government

The agency operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by the agency is deposited into the CRF, and all cash disbursements made by the agency are paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by the Government is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements, including transactions between federal government departments.

(c) Amounts due from or to the CRF

Amounts due from or to the CRF are the result of timing differences at year-end between the time when a transaction affects authorities and when it is processed through the CRF. Amounts due from the CRF represent the net amount of cash that the agency is entitled to draw from the CRF without further authorities to discharge its liabilities.

(d) Revenues

  • Revenues received for special statistical services are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt. These amounts are recognized as revenue in the period in which the services are rendered and related expenses are incurred.
  • Other revenues are recognized in the period the event giving rise to the revenues occurred.
  • Revenues that are non-respendable are not available to discharge the agency's liabilities. While the Chief Statistician; is expected to maintain accounting control, he has no authority regarding the disposition of non-respendable revenues. As a result, non-respendable revenues are considered to be earned on behalf of the Government of Canada and are therefore presented as a reduction of the entity's gross revenues.

(e) Expenses

  • Transfer payments are recorded as an expense in the year the transfer is authorized and all eligibility criteria have been met by the recipient.
  • Vacation pay and compensatory leave are accrued as the benefits are earned by employees under their respective terms of employment.
  • Services provided without charge by other federal government departments for accommodation, employer contributions to the health and dental insurance plans, and workers' compensation are recorded as operating expenses at their carrying value.

(f) Employee future benefits

  1. Pension benefits — Eligible employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, a multi-employer pension plan administered by the Government. The agency's contributions to the Plan are charged to expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental obligation to the Plan. The agency's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.
  2. Severance benefits — The accumulation of severance benefits for voluntary departures ceased for applicable employee groups. The remaining obligation for employees who did not withdraw benefits is calculated using information derived from the results of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance benefits for the Government as a whole.

(g) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are initially recorded at cost. When necessary, an allowance for valuation is recorded to reduce the carrying value of accounts receivable to amounts that approximate their net recoverable value.

(h) Non-financial assets

  • All tangible capital assets and leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $10,000 or more are recorded at their acquisition cost. Tangible capital assets do not include immovable assets located on reserves as defined in the Indian Act, works of art, museum collection and Crown land to which no acquisition cost is attributable; and intangible assets.
  • Consumable supplies include items held for future program delivery and are not intended for resale. These supplies are recorded at the acquisition cost. If there is no longer a service potential, the supplies are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

(i) Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities which may become actual liabilities when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. If the future event is likely to occur or fail to occur, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made, a provision is accrued and an expense recorded to other expenses. If the likelihood is not determinable or an amount cannot be reasonably estimated, the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

(j) Contingent assets

Contingent assets are possible assets which may become actual assets when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. If the future even is likely to occur or fail to occur, the contingent asset is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

(k) Transactions involving foreign currencies

Transactions involving foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollar equivalents using rates of exchange in effect at the time of those transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported on the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position according to the activities to which they relate.

(l) Measurement uncertainty

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at March 31. The estimates are based on facts and circumstances, historical experience, general economic conditions and reflect the Government's best estimate of the related amount at the end of the reporting period. The most significant items where estimates are used are the liability for employee future benefits and the useful life of tangible capital assets. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimated. Management's estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.

(m) Related party transactions

Inter-entity transactions are transactions between commonly controlled entities. Inter-entity transactions, other than restructuring transactions, are recorded on a gross basis and are measured at the carrying amount, except for the following:

  1. Services provided on a recovery basis are recognized as revenues and expenses on a gross basis and measured at the exchange amount.
  2. Certain services received on a without charge basis are recorded for departmental financial statement purposes at the carrying amount.

3. Parliamentary authorities

The agency receives most of its funding through annual parliamentary authorities. Items recognized in the Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position and the Statement of Financial Position in one year may be funded through parliamentary authorities in prior, current, or future years. Accordingly, the agency has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:

Total accounts payables and accrued liabilities 79,357 84,754

5. Deferred revenue

The agency has the authority to expend revenue received during the fiscal year. Deferred revenue represents the balance at year-end of unearned revenues stemming from amounts received from external parties, which are restricted for specific statistical services. Revenue is recognized in the period in which these expenditures are incurred or in which the service is performed. Details of the transactions related to this account are as follows:

6. Lease obligation for tangible capital assets

The agency has entered into agreements to lease photocopiers under capital leases with a cost of $110 thousand and accumulated amortization of $104 thousand as at March 31, 2019 ($110 thousand and $81 thousand respectively as at March 31, 2018). Obligations for the coming years include the following:

7. Employee future benefits

a) Pension benefits

The agency's employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan ("the Plan"), which is sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2 percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with Canada/Québec Pension Plan benefits and they are indexed to inflation.

Both the employees and the agency contribute to the cost of the Plan. Due to the amendment of the Public Service Superannuation Act following the implementation of provisions related to Economic Action Plan 2012, employee contributors have been divided into two groups – Group 1 relates to existing plan members as of December 31, 2012, and Group 2 relates to members who joined the Plan as of January 1, 2013. Each group has a distinct contribution rate.

The 2018-2019 expense amounts to $48,546 thousand ($47,801 thousand in 2017-2018). For Group 1 members, the expense represents approximately 1.01 times (1.01 times in 2017-2018) the employee contributions and, for Group 2 members, approximately 1.00 times (1.00 times in 2017-2018) the employee contributions.

The agency's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.

b) Severance benefits

Severance benefits provided to the agency's employees were previously based on an employee's eligibility, years of service and salary at termination of employment. However, since 2011 the accumulation of severance benefits for voluntary departures progressively ceased for substantially all employees. Employees subject to these changes were given the option to be paid the full or partial value of benefits earned to date or collect the full or remaining value of benefits upon departure from the public service. By March 31, 2019, substantially all settlements for immediate cash out were completed. Severance benefits are unfunded and, consequently, the outstanding obligation will be paid from future authorities.

The changes in the obligations during the year were as follows:

Severance benefits
  2019 2018
(in thousands of dollars)
Accrued benefit obligation - Beginning of year 22,852 21,710
Expense or adjustment for the year -1,308 4,077
Benefits paid during the year -2,264 -2,935
Accrued benefit obligation - End of year 19,280 22,852

10. Contractual obligations and contractual rights

a) Contractual obligations

The nature of the agency's activities may result in some large multi-year contracts and obligations whereby the agency will be obligated to make future payments when the services/goods are received. Significant contractual obligations that can be reasonably estimated are summarized as follows:

Contractual obligations
  2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and subsequent Total
(in thousands of dollars)
Acquisition of goods and services 4,610 10,582 2,573 0 0 17,765
Total 4,610 10,582 2,573 0 0 17,765

b) Contractual rights

The activities of the agency sometimes involve the negotiation of contracts or agreements with outside parties that result in the agency having rights to both assets and revenues in the future. They involve sales of goods and services. Major contractual rights that will generate revenues in future years and that can be reasonably estimated are summarized as follows:

Contractual rights
  2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and subsequent Total
(in thousands of dollars)
Sales of goods and services 2,981 479 0 0 0 3,460
Total 2,981 479 0 0 0 3,460

11. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

a) Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities arise in the normal course of operations and their ultimate disposition is unknown.

Claims and litigations

The agency records an allowance for claims and litigations where it is likely that there will be a future payment and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. In 2018-2019, the agency did not have any contingent liabilities.

b) Contingent assets

The agency discloses contingent assets that are likely to be realized. In 2018-2019, the agency did not have any contingent assets.

12. Related party transactions

The agency is related as a result of common ownership to all government departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. Related parties also include individuals who are members of key management personnel or close family members of those individuals, and entities controlled by, or under shared control of, a member of key management personnel or a close family member of that individual.

The agency enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms.

a) Common services provided without charge by other federal government departments

During the year, the agency received services without charge from certain common service organizations related to accommodation, the employer's contribution to the health and dental insurance plans and workers' compensation coverage. These services provided without charge have been recorded at the carrying value in the agency's Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position as follows:

Common services provided without charge by other federal government departments
  2019 2018
(in thousands of dollars)
Accommodation 35,973 36,605
Employer's contribution to the health and dental insurance plans 38,458 44,754
Worker's compensation 76 88
Total 74,507 81,447

The Government has centralized some of its administrative activities for efficiency, cost-effectiveness purposes and economic delivery of programs to the public. As a result, the Government uses central agencies and common service organizations so that one department performs services for all other departments and agencies without charge. The costs of these services, such as the payroll and cheque issuance services provided by Public Services and Procurement Canada and audit services provided by the Office of the Auditor General are not included in the agency's Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position.

b) Other transactions with other federal government departments and agencies

14. Comparative information

With the introduction of the new Treasury Board Secretariat Policy on Results, the reporting structure has changed from the previous Program Alignment Architecture to the new Departmental Results Framework. As a result, expenses for 2017-18 and 2018-19 could not be prepared on the same basis. The 2017-18 expenses are presented by Program in accordance with the previous Program Alignment Architecture, whereas expenses for 2018-19 are presented by core responsibility in accordance with the new Departmental Results Framework.

Annex to the Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Statistics Canada for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 (Unaudited)

1. Introduction

This document provides summary information on the measures taken by Statistics Canada to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), including information on internal control management, assessment results and related action plans.

Detailed information on the agency's authority, mandate and core responsibilities can be found in the Departmental Plan for the 2019-2020 fiscal year and the Departmental Results Report for the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

2. Departmental system of internal control over financial reporting

2.1 Internal control management

Statistics Canada has a well-established governance and accountability structure to support departmental assessment efforts and oversight of its system of internal control.

A departmental internal control management framework, approved by the Chief Statistician and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), is in place and includes:

  • organizational accountability structures as they relate to internal control management to support sound financial management, including roles and responsibilities of senior managers in their areas of responsibility for control management;
  • values and ethics considerations;
  • ongoing communication and training on statutory requirements, and policies and procedures for sound financial management and control; and
  • regular updates to and monitoring, on at least a semi-annual basis, of internal control management as well as the provision of related assessment results and action plans to the Chief Statistician, senior departmental management and the Departmental Audit Committee (DAC).

The DAC provides advice to the Chief Statistician on the adequacy and effectiveness of the agency's risk management, control and governance frameworks and processes.

2.2 Service arrangements relevant to financial statements

Statistics Canada relies on other organizations for the processing of certain transactions that are recorded in its financial statements, as follows:

2.2.1 Common arrangements
  • Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), which administers the payment of salaries and the procurement of goods and services, and provides accommodation services;
  • Shared Services Canada (SSC), which provides information technology (IT) infrastructure services to the agency;
  • The Department of Justice Canada, which provides legal services;
  • Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, which provides information on public service insurance and centrally administers payment of the employer's share of contribution toward statutory employee benefit plans.
2.2.2 Specific arrangements
  • Public Services and Procurement Canada provides Statistics Canada with the Common Departmental Financial System (CDFS) platform to capture and report financial transactions.

Readers of this annex may refer to the annexes of the above-noted departments for a greater understanding of the systems of internal control over financial reporting related to these specific services.

3. Departmental assessment results during fiscal year 2018-2019

The following table summarizes the status of the ongoing monitoring activities according to the previous fiscal year's rotational plan.

Progress during the 2018-2019 fiscal year
Previous fiscal year's rotational ongoing monitoring plan for current fiscal year Status
IT general controls under agency management controls, operating expenditures, financial close and reporting, and payroll and benefits Completed as planned; no remedial actions required
Budgeting and planning, and direct and precise monitoring controls Completed as planned; remedial actions started

In the 2018-2019 fiscal year, Statistics Canada conducted a fraud risk assessment in addition to the progress made in ongoing monitoring.

The key findings and adjustments required from the current fiscal year's assessment activities are summarized in subsection 3.1.

3.1 New or significantly amended key controls

In the current year, there were no new or significantly amended key controls in existing processes which required a reassessment.

3.2 Ongoing monitoring program

As part of its ongoing rotational monitoring plan, the agency completed its reassessment of direct and precise monitoring controls, IT general controls (ITGCs), and the financial controls within the business processes of budget and planning, financial close and reporting, operating expenditures, and payroll and benefits. For the most part, the key controls that were tested performed as intended.

4. Departmental action plan for the next fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years

Statistics Canada's ongoing rotational monitoring plan over the next three fiscal years, based on an annual validation of the high-risk processes and controls and related adjustments to the ongoing monitoring plan as required, is shown in the following table.

Ongoing rotational monitoring planFootnote *
Key control areas 2019-2020 fiscal year 2020-2021 fiscal year 2021-2022 fiscal year

Footnote *

The length of the ongoing monitoring plan is at the discretion of the agency and will depend on how often the agency conducts its risk-based assessment. For example, a plan could cover a one-, three- or five-year cycle. A three-year cycle is presented for illustrative purposes. Statistics Canada is in the last year of its ongoing rotational monitoring plan, and as such is conducting its risk-based assessment in the summer of 2019-2020. Therefore, the ongoing rotational monitoring plan above may be adjusted based on the results of this risk assessment.

Return to footnote * referrer

In addition to the ongoing monitoring rotational plan, the agency plans to conduct additional design and operating effectiveness testing in 2019-2020 over anti-fraud controls identified in the fraud risk assessment. Further, the agency plans to conduct risk assessments on the following new financial management business processes in line with the policy on internal controls over financial management:

  • Budgeting
  • Forecasting
  • Costing
  • Investment planning
  • Cabinet submission including CFO attestation.

Ongoing follow-ups will be performed on the previous years' testing recommendations. In addition, the business process narratives will be updated and design and implementation testing will be performed as required. The services of an external consultant have been retained to provide independent, objective advice and to help complete the ongoing monitoring plan.

Fertilizer Shipments Survey – Canadian Producers

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted on behalf of Fertilizer Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to produce statistics on shipments of fertilizer in Canada by manufacturers, wholesale distributors and major retail distributors. This information is essential to support Canada's international reporting obligations of inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

Mandatory participation

Given the important uses of its results, participation in the Fertilizer Shipments Survey is required by law.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.
