Introduction

This introduction is intended to provide an overview of the process of collecting science expenditure data; definitions of and explanatory notes on natural sciences and engineering, social sciences and humanities, scientific and technological activities, performance sectors, and other terms used are given in subsequent sections.

The collection of science expenditure data is organized by the Investment, Science and Technology Division (ISTD) of Statistics Canada. This exercise was formerly conducted under the aegis of the Treasury Board Secretariat but is now solely a Statistics Canada survey.

Collection is undertaken to gather essential data describing the recent, current and proposed state of the federal resources allocated to science. Federal science expenditures data are provided to Industry Canada who in turn use the data in the development of advice to the Assistant Deputy Ministers' Steering Committee on the Management of S&T, their Minister and the Treasury Board Secretariat, as well as in policy development and in monitoring the implementation of science policies. Statistics Canada maintains historical expenditure series in natural sciences and engineering dating back to 1963 and to 1971 in the social sciences and humanities. These data are available through the Investment, Science and Technology Statistics Division (ISTD) or through special requests.

The basic reporting unit is the budgetary program of a department or agency. Each budgetary program forms the subject of separate scientific expenditure reports for the natural and for the social science activities within it. Both the program and the program activities within it may be scientific in whole or in part only. Only expenditures on the scientific components of a program or its activity are reported. In some programs it will be difficult to distinguish between the natural and social sciences. However, some allocation must be made and in determining this allocation, the dominant orientation of the projects and the area of expertise of the personnel involved must be considered. Detailed definitions are given on the following pages.

On the questionnaires, the identified expenditures are looked at from several different viewpoints and in various subdivisions. Expenditures on research and development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) are subdivided to provide an indication of the "what" of a department's scientific effort. Expenditures in each category of scientific activity are further subdivided into "current" and "capital" segments. Current expenditures are additionally subdivided by sector, to indicate the "where" and "by whom" the activity is performed (e.g., in business enterprise, in higher education).

The human resources allocated to scientific activities are summarized in terms of the involved categories of personnel (scientific and professional, technical, etc.) and the principal focus of their efforts (R&D, RSA, administration of extramural programs).

When completed, checked for consistency with previous reports, entered into the database and totalled along the various dimensions, these data provide snapshots of the federal resources allocated to science, supporting not only the work of central agencies but also the submissions of departments and agencies requesting resources.

General

This guide consists of definitions/explanations for terms used in the questionnaire.

The natural sciences and engineering consist of disciplines concerned with understanding, exploring, developing or utilizing the natural world. Included are the engineering, mathematical, life and physical sciences.

The term social sciences is to be regarded as synonymous with social sciences and humanities and thus embraces all disciplines involving the study of human actions and conditions and the social, economic and institutional mechanisms affecting humans. Included are such disciplines as anthropology, business administration and commerce, information and knowledge management, criminology, demography, economics, geography, history, languages, literature and linguistics, law, library science, philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, social work, sociology, and urban and regional studies.

1. Expenditures by activity and performer

The questionnaire covers three consecutive fiscal years and the headings of all three are identical. One set of definitions/explanations therefore suffices.

Actual and planned expenditures on scientific and technological activities are to be classified according to the type of scientific activity and the performance sector in which the activities were or will be conducted.

Scientific and technological (S&T) activities are required for the generation, dissemination or initial application of the new S&T knowledge. The central activity is scientific research and experimental development (R&D). In addition there are a number of activities closely related to R&D, and are termed related scientific activities (RSA). Those identified as being appropriate for the federal government in the Natural sciences and engineering are: scientific data collection, information services, special services and studies and education support.

The performer is equivalent to the sector in which the scientific activity is conducted. The basic distinction is between intramural and extramural performance. Extramural payments are classified on the basis of the performance sectors to which they are made. The appropriate extramural performers are business enterprise, higher education, Canadian non-profit institutions, foreign performers, provincial and municipal governments, and other performers.

I. Research and experimental development

Research and experimental development – creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of scientific and technical knowledge and to use this knowledge in new applications.

The central characteristic of R&D is an appreciable element of novelty and of uncertainty. New knowledge, products or processes are sought. The work is normally performed by, or under the supervision of, persons with postgraduate degrees in the natural sciences or engineering.

An R&D project generally has three characteristics:

• a substantial element of uncertainty, novelty and innovation;
• a well-defined project design;
• a report on the procedures and results of the projects.

Examples:

1. Special investigation of a particular mortality in order to establish the side effects of certain medical treatments.
2. The investigation of new methods of measuring temperature is research as is the study and development of new systems and techniques for interpreting the data.
3. The development of new methods of identifying tree species and determining if they are diseased.
4. The creation of a new transportation system as a prototype and the technical evaluation of its operations is R&D.

R&D is generally carried out by specialized R&D units. However, an R&D project may also involve the use of non R&D facilities (e.g., testing grounds), the purchase or construction of specialized equipment and materials, and the assistance of other units. Costs of such items, attributable to the project, are to be considered R&D costs.

R&D units may also be engaged in non R&D activities such as technical advisory services, testing, and construction of special equipment for other units. So far as is practical, the effort devoted to such operations should be excluded from R&D.

On the other hand, R&D may be carried out by units normally engaged in other functions (e.g. a marine survey ship used for hydrological research, a geological survey team may be directed to work in a certain area in order to provide data for a geophysical research project). Such effort is part of an R&D project and, again, so far as is practical, the costs should be assigned to R&D expenditures.

ltem 1. In-house R&D – R&D performed by personnel of the reporting program. It may include R&D carried out on behalf of another program on a cost-recovery basis.

Item 2. Contracts – payments to organizations or individuals outside the federal government for the conduct of R&D by the recipient or to provide support for the federal government's in-house R&D programs.

1. R&D contracts – contracts to an outside institution or individual to fund R&D performed by the institution or individual. The criterion is: would the performer report the contract as intramural government-funded R&D if asked? If the answer is yes the activity would be an R&D contract, if no it would be a supporting contract. Contracts to other federal government departments should be reported as a transfer of funds on page 14 of the questionnaire.
2. Supporting contracts – contracts to an outside institution or individual to provide goods or services necessary to support the in-house R&D program. Examples are contracts with data processing firms for computing services, maintenance contracts for R&D facilities, or procurement contracts for specialized equipment which is not considered capital. The total amount reported for this activity should be reported under the intramural column on pages 4 to 6.

Contracts for related scientific activities (RSA) should continue to be reported in the appropriate activity and performance sector spaces provided on the questionnaire.

Item 3. R&D grants and contributions – awards to organizations or individuals for the conduct of R&D and intended to benefit the recipients rather than provide the program with goods, services or information. These funds are normally identical to that portion of the budgetary "grants and contributions" line object of expenditure which is devoted to R&D activities.

Grants and contributions for related scientific activities (RSA) are to be reported in the appropriate activity and performance sector spaces provided on the questionnaire.

Item 4. Research fellowships – awards to individuals for advanced research training and experience. Awards intended primarily to support the education of the recipients should be reported as education support.

Item 5. Administration of extramural programs – the costs of identifiable units engaged in the administration of contracts and grants and contributions for scientific activities that are to be performed outside the federal government. These expenditures should be broken down by the type of scientific activity supported, i.e. R&D or RSA.

Item 6. Capital expenditures – expenditures on construction, acquisition or preparation of land, buildings, machinery and equipment are capital expenditures. All other expenditures are current expenditures.

II. Related scientific activities

Related scientific activities are concerned with the generation, dissemination and application of scientific and technological knowledge. The kinds of related scientific activities for the natural sciences and engineering are described below.

Item 7. Scientific data collection – the gathering, processing, collating and analyzing of data on natural phenomena. These data are normally the results of surveys, routine laboratory analyses or compilations of operating records.

Data collected as part of an existing or proposed research project are charged to research. Similarly, the costs of analyzing existing data as part of a research project are R&D costs, even when the data were originally collected for some other purpose. The development of new techniques for data collection is also to be considered a research activity. Examples of scientific data collection are: routine geological, hydrographic, oceanographic and topographic surveys; routine astronomical observations; maintenance of meteorological records; and wildlife and fisheries surveys.

Item 8. Information services – all work directed to recording, classifying, translating and disseminating scientific and technological information as well as museum services. Included are the operations of scientific and technical libraries, S&T consulting and advisory services, the Patent Office, the publication of scientific journals and monographs, and the organizing of scientific conferences. Grants for the publication of scholarly works are also included.

General purpose information services or information services directed primarily towards the general public are excluded, as are general departmental and public libraries. When individual budgets exist, the costs of libraries which belong to institutions otherwise entirely classified to another activity, such as R&D, should be assigned to information services. The costs of printing and distributing reports from another activity, such as R&D, are normally attributable to that activity.

Sub category under Information services:

Museum services – the collecting, cataloguing and displaying of specimens of the natural world or of representations of natural phenomena. The activity involves a systematic attempt to preserve and display items from the natural world; in some ways it could be considered an extension of information services. The scientific activities of natural history museums, zoological and botanical gardens, aquaria, planetaria and nature reserves are included. Parks which are not primarily restricted reserves for certain fauna or flora are excluded. In all cases the costs of providing entertainment and recreation to visitors should be excluded (e.g. restaurants, children's gardens and museums).

When a museum also covers not only natural history but also aspects of human cultural activities, the museum's resources should be appropriated between the natural and social sciences. However, museums of science and technology, war, etc., which display synthetic or artificial objects and may also illustrate the operations of certain technologies, should be considered as engaged in museum services in social sciences.

Item 9. Special services and studies – work directed towards the establishment of national and provincial standards for materials, devices, products and processes; the calibration of secondary standards; non-routine quality testing; feasibility studies and demonstration projects.

Sub categories under Special services and studies include:

Testing and standardization – work directed towards the establishment of national and international standards for materials, devices, products and processes, the calibration of secondary standards and non-routine quality testing. The development of new measures for standards, or of new methods of measuring or testing, is R&D and should be reported as such. Exclude routine testing such as monitoring radioactivity levels or soil tests before construction.

Feasibility studies – technical investigations of proposed engineering projects to provide additional information required to reach decisions on implementation. Besides feasibility studies per se, the related activity of demonstration projects are to be included. Demonstration projects involve the operation of scaled-up versions of a facility or process, or data on factors such as costs, operational characteristics, market demand and public acceptance. Projects called "demonstration projects" but which conform to the definition of R&D should be considered R&D. Once a facility or process is operated primarily to provide a service or to gain revenue, rather than as a demonstration, it should no longer be included with feasibility studies. In all demonstration projects, only the net costs should be considered.

Item 10. Education support – grants to individuals or institutions on behalf of individuals which are intended to support the post-secondary education of students in technology and the natural sciences. General operating or capital grants are excluded. The activity includes the support of foreign students in their studies of the natural sciences at Canadian or foreign institutions. Grants intended primarily to support the research of individuals at universities are either R&D grants or research fellowships.

Awards intended primarily to support the education of the recipients should be reported as education support.

Item 11. Administration of extramural programs – the costs of identifiable units engaged in the administration of contracts and grants and contributions for scientific activities that are to be performed outside the federal government. These expenditures should be broken down by the type of scientific activity supported, i.e.R&D or RSA.

Item 12. Capital expenditures – expenditures on construction, acquisition or preparation of land, buildings, machinery and equipment are capital expenditures. All other expenditures are current expenditures.

III. Performers

Intramural includes costs incurred for scientific activities carried out by in-house personnel of units assigned to the program, the related acquisition of land, buildings, machinery and equipment for scientific activities; the administration of scientific activities by program employees and the purchase of goods and services to support in-house scientific activities.

The intramural expenditures reported for scientific activities are those direct costs, including salaries, associated with scientific programs. The costs should include that portion of a program's contribution to employee benefit plans (e.g., superannuation) which is applicable to the scientific personnel within the program.

Non-program ("indirect") costs such as the value of services provided by other departments without charge and accommodation provided by the reporting program are to be excluded. Support services (i.e. administration, finance) provided by the reporting program, proportional to S&T expenditures should be included.

Extramural performers are groups being funded for S&T activities by the federal government sector. In this survey the extramural performers include:

Business enterprise – business and government enterprises including public utilities and government-owned firms. Incorporated consultants providing scientific and engineering services are also included. Industrial research institutes located at Canadian universities are considered to be in the higher education sector.

Higher education – composed of all universities, colleges of technology and other institutes of post-secondary education, whatever their source of finance or legal status. It also includes all research institutes, experimental stations and clinics operating under the direct control of, or administered by, or associated with, the higher education establishments.

Canadian non-profit institutions – charitable foundations, voluntary health organizations, scientific and professional societies, and other organizations not established to earn profits. Non-profit institutions primarily serving or controlled by another sector should be included in the controlling sector.

Provincial and municipal governments – departments and agencies of these governments. Government enterprises, such as provincial utilities are included in the business enterprise sector, and hospitals in the Canadian non-profit institutions sector.

Foreign performers – all foreign government agencies, foreign companies (including foreign subsidiaries of Canadian firms), international organizations, non-resident foreign nationals and Canadians studying or teaching abroad.

Other performers – include provincial research councils, and individuals or organizations in Canada not belonging to any of the above sectors.

2. Personnel

Intramural expenditure data should be supported by data on the personnel devoted to scientific activities by all the employees engaged in these activities.

Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) – a measure of the time actually devoted to the conduct of scientific activities. An employee who is engaged in scientific activities for half a year has a full-time equivalence of 0.5. Personnel data reported should be consistent with expenditure data.

Scientific and professional – people in jobs that require at least one academic degree or nationally recognized professional qualification (e.g., Professional Engineer P.Eng.), as well as those with equivalent experience.

Technical – people in jobs that require specialized vocational or technical training beyond the secondary level (e.g., community colleges and technical institutes) as well as those with experience equivalent to this training.

Other – clerical, secretarial, administrative, operational and other support personnel.

In regard to personnel resources there are two caveats:

• where the S&T activities are a part of the program being reported, only auxiliary staff relevant to the S&T activities are reported on a prorated basis;
• whenever financial and administrative support is provided from another program, that support is allocated to the S&T resources for the program being reported.

3. Sources of funds for total scientific and technological activities

This question identifies the sources of funds for expenditures on scientific activities reported for all three years. It will help to ensure that work funded from outside the department is not overlooked.

Departmental S&T budget – that portion of the total departmental budget which was spent on natural science and engineering activities.

Revenues to / from other departments – money transferred into this program from another federal department or money transferred from this program to another federal department for activities in the natural sciences and engineering.

Provincial government departments – all funds from the provincial government used for natural science and engineering activities. The funds are referred to as payments, contributions, transfers, etc. Also include provincial portions of federal-provincial cost sharing programs performed by the department program.

Business enterprises – all funds from business enterprises used for natural science and engineering activities performed by the department.

From other sources – all funds for natural science and engineering activities from sources not specified above.

4. Scientific and technological expenditures by socio-economic objectives

Socio-economic objectives allow departments to classify their S&T resource allocations according to the purpose for which the expenditure is intended. The objectives are listed on the questionnaire at the highest level of aggregation with sub-levels given here for clarification of categories. In many cases, projects have multiple objectives and a department should assign its expenditures consistent with the stated objectives of the department. Care must be taken to avoid "double counting".

The objectives are based on the Nomenclature for the Analysis and Comparison of Scientific Programmes and Budgets (NABS) produced by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat).

1. Exploration and exploitation of the Earth – scientific activities with objectives related to the exploration of the Earth's crust and mantle, seas, oceans and atmosphere, and scientific activities on their exploitation.

Civil scientific activities financed by ministries of defence, for example, in the fields of meteorology, telecommunications and health, should be classified in the relevant objectives.

5. Expenditures and personnel of scientific and technological establishment engaged in activities in the natural sciences and engineering, by region

Since 1978, Statistics Canada has been collecting detailed expenditure and person year data on intramural scientific activities of federal government departments and agencies by region. These data, coupled with data from other surveys, have been used by policy planners in federal and provincial governments, research managers and the media to assess the provincial distribution of science activities in Canada.

Again this year, we are asking for the information at the regional level. We are also asking for information in both natural science and engineering establishments as well as those performing activities in the social sciences and humanities, as international GERD statistics include activities in both science fields.

The Canada total expenditures and personnel reported for the actual year must be consistent with data reported on intramural expenditures, column one and total personnel.

6. Transfers for natural sciences and engineering activities

Include payments or recipients for contracts, transfers and joint programs from / to other federal government departments. Please identify the amount and names of the origination and recipient programs.

Errata

Date: June 2014

To: All users of the Survey on Living with Neurological Conditions in Canada—Canadian Community Health Survey linked file

Subject: Error in CCCDDIA logic

Product(s) affected:
Survey on Living with Neurological Conditions in Canada—Canadian Community Health Survey linked file

Years affected:
2011

Description of the problem(s):
The Diabetes Type derived variable (CCCDDIA) has a flaw in the logic that allowed respondents who should have been coded to gestational diabetes to be coded as Type 2 diabetes or ‘not stated’. Female respondents who answered CCC_10A=1 and CCC_10B=2 should have been classified as gestational diabetes. However, several cases also met the condition for Type 2 diabetes or for not stated. Because these other categories were derived first, these cases were coded as such, before the check for gestational diabetes could be run.

Additionally, all of the cases that were coded as ‘4’ could actually be correctly coded as type 2 diabetes. Because of the faulty logic, these cases did not meet any of the conditions and would not have been coded. This is likely the reason for the creation of the category 4 in the first place.

Suggested correction(s):
According to the Ng-Dasgupta-Johnson algorithm, upon which CCCDDIA is based, gestational diabetes should be derived first. In practice however, it is typical to list the DV code types in ascending order after the processing codes are derived.

To preserve the order of DV codes and fix the problems, the conditions for ‘not stated’ and type 2 have been rewritten with an extra condition that ensures there is no overlap with gestational diabetes. The new rule for type 2 diabetes now also covers all of the cases that would have otherwise been left uncoded and assigned a value of 4 – ‘unable to classify’. The new DV code now properly classifies all respondents without the need for this catch-all code. The corrected code for the derived variable is:

The review was conducted by:
Claude Julien, Director General of Methodology Branch and
Executive responsible for the Quality Secretariat, and
Craig Kuntz, Director General of the Economy-wide Statistics Branch

The original version was signed by Claude Julien, Director General, Methodology Branch, Executive responsible for the Quality Secretariat, and Craig Kuntz, Director General, Economy-wide Statistics Branch.

Introduction

This review was initiated by the Chief Statistician of Canada in response to an error in Canada's Labour Force Survey (LFS) release for the reference period of July 2014. The objective of this report is to determine what happened, why it occurred, why it was not caught in the quality assurance process, and what should be done to mitigate the risk of such errors in the future.

The review was conducted by Claude Julien, Director General of Methodology Branch and Executive responsible for the Quality Secretariat, and Craig Kuntz, Director General of the Economy-wide Statistics Branch.

Methodology

To understand what happened, why it occurred, and why the error was not identified sooner in the process, interviews were conducted with LFS employees and management team, as well as with the systems and methodology teams assigned to support the LFS. The review included an analysis of the LFS results, supporting documentation and operations diagnostics.

Background

The LFS is an important key economic indicator. Every month, the LFS collects data from a random sample of 56,000 households to obtain data on the labour force. The sample consists of six panels of dwellings. Each panel is contacted on six consecutive months or survey occasions. Every month, the oldest panel is dropped and a new panel is introduced. Hence, two consecutive survey occasions have five panels in common.

Like all surveys, the LFS must deal with incomplete or missing data due to a certain percentage of non-response. One of the methods used to deal with this non-response is called imputation where, using various data available, plausible values are determined to "fill in" for missing data. Having five panels in common between two survey occasions allows the LFS to use the previous month's responses to check the validity of the current month's responses and to determine the most plausible values for any missing data due to non-response. The previous month's responses used in imputation include demographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex) and labour force status (employed, unemployed, out of labour force). Given the known dynamics of the labour market, a person who reported being employed the previous month and who does not provide an update to his or her labour force status in the current month is likely to be determined by the processing system (what is called imputation) as still being employed. Yet, in order to respect the known dynamics of the labour market, the processing system will impute some previously employed individuals as either unemployed or out of the labour force.

Like all programs at Statistics Canada, the LFS is carried out in accordance with the agency's Quality Assurance Framework and the best practices suggested in its Quality Guidelines. Last spring, the results of a performance audit conducted by the Office of the Auditor General of Canada carried out on the LFS and three other key programs concluded that "Statistics Canada applied its quality assurance framework to ensure the quality of the statistical programs we examined." The Auditor General's recommendations focused on improvements to "ensure the continued relevance of its data products."

To ensure it remains relevant and accurately portrays the Canadian labour market, the LFS undergoes important updates after every census and a redesign every 10 years. Since 2011, the LFS program has been working on a major redesign that will renew the survey infrastructure by adopting a large number of corporate systems and services.

The LFS redesign project is divided into two phases. The first phase includes the rebasing of the estimates to the latest census of population results and redesigning the sample to, among other objectives, further integrate the corporate address register into the LFS. This rebasing sub-project also includes the introduction of new standard occupation codes and a review of the imputation methodology. The second phase of the redesign consists of reviewing the survey content and developing new systems that adopt corporate systems and services to replace the existing LFS infrastructure.

The current LFS systems were originally developed in 1997 and have since been maintained and updated as required. The LFS production environment comprises three main systems: front-end (sample preparation, collection and transmission), processing (reception, coding, editing, imputation, derivation, weighting and reporting), and aggregation and dissemination (tabulation, seasonal adjustment, and preparation of data outputs). The front-end system changes frequently and is tested every month to ensure that it is working properly. The processing system and the aggregation and dissemination system are complex and contain many modules and programs. They undergo infrequent changes and are tested only when changes are made.

In preparation for the first phase of the LFS redesign, the existing aggregation and dissemination system needed to be modified to incorporate a revised dwelling identifier number (DIN) to enable the LFS to further integrate the corporate address register to support its sampling frame. The required changes to incorporate the DIN had been previously made to the front-end and the processing systems as part of a project, called the continuous listing project, completed in January 2013. A record layout was changed in four areas of the processing system: a central data dictionary and three modules (imputation, derivation and weighting). According to plan, the aggregation and dissemination system was not changed at that time, as the required changes were viewed as being too complex and beyond the scope of the continuous listing project. An interim solution was implemented to ensure that the aggregation and dissemination system continued to function properly. The quality of the LFS was not affected.

In March 2013, a solution was developed to implement the revised DIN in the aggregation and dissemination system in a manner that would reduce the risk of introducing an error in the system. The solution consisted of modifying the layout of the fixed record file, known as the Tabulation Systems File (TABS), by moving one of the variables from the front to the back of the file. This created space for the revised DIN at the front of the file and left the remainder of the file untouched and readable by the aggregation and dissemination system with minimal change. However, the solution required going back and making another modification to the record layouts in the processing system. The project to implement the DIN changes was undertaken as a systems maintenance activity, rather than an activity that was part of the redesign.

Findings

What happened?

To implement the changes to the processing system, the team believed that they only needed to modify the derivation and weighting modules. What they did not realize was that the imputation module had a reference to the TABS file record layout.

The changes and associated testing were limited to what was believed to be the relevant modules (derivation, weighting, aggregation, seasonal adjustment and preparation of data outputs) prior to implementation for the July 2014 reference period—but the imputation module was neither changed, nor tested.

As a result, in the July 2014 production run, the imputation module did not pick up the labour force status of individuals from the June 2014 survey occasion. This meant that the June labour force status was not used, as designed, to determine the most plausible values for individuals whose July labour force status were missing, due to non-response. This resulted in a higher number of individuals who reported being employed in June, and who did not respond in July, being imputed as either out of the labour force or unemployed in July. The LFS system as a whole ran and the production logs did not trigger any systems code for this error because labour force status is one of several characteristics used in imputation. There were no operations diagnostics to detect this type of error.

Why did it occur?

Based on the facts that we have gathered, we conclude that several factors contributed to the error in the July 2014 LFS results. There was an incomplete understanding of the LFS processing system on the part of the team implementing and testing the change to the TABS file. This change was perceived as systems maintenance and the oversight and governance were not commensurate with the potential risk. The systems documentation was out of date, inaccurate and erroneously supported the team's assumptions about the system. The testing conducted was not sufficiently comprehensive and operations diagnostics to catch this type of error were not present. As well, roles and responsibilities within the team were not as clearly defined as they should have been. Communications among the team, labour analysts and senior management around this particular issue were inadequate.

How was the error detected?

The first indication that there might be a problem with the July 2014 LFS results occurred the morning of Friday August 8, 2014, after the data had been publicly released. A member of the systems team was trying to understand, as part of the review of imputation methodology in the rebasing sub‑project, why the results from a previous month's imputation could not be replicated in the test environment. The programmer realized the imputation module contained a reference to the TABS file record layout and recognized the potential consequences. The programmer immediately escalated the concerns and a decision was taken that morning to make the appropriate systems changes and rerun the July 2014 production in the test environment to assess the impact on the results. Once the error and its magnitude were confirmed to the satisfaction of the Chief Statistician on Tuesday August 12, 2014, a decision was taken, as per the agency's Directive on Corrections to Daily Releases and Statistical Products, to remove the erroneous data, to notify the public of the error, and to begin the process to release the corrected data on August 15, 2014.

What are the LFS quality assurance procedures?

All Statistics Canada data go through a rigorous data validation process. The basic mechanisms for managing quality are described in Statistics Canada's Quality Assurance Framework and Statistics Canada's Quality Guidelines. Their effectiveness does not depend on any one mechanism or process, but on the collective effect of many interdependent measures.

The LFS production follows a strict monthly release schedule that is set annually. The main production steps comprise collection applications testing, sample selection, collection, processing, and dissemination (analysis and validation). Our review focused on processing (where the error occurred) and analysis and validation (where the error could have been detected).

The processing system comprises nine modules, of which the latter five are fully automated and include the module where the error occurred. The system, run by a production officer, produces systems logs, operations diagnostics and survey results. At every occasion, the systems logs and the operations diagnostics are reviewed by the production officer and the production manager.

The production team delivers main tables in paper format and detailed tables in electronic format to the labour analysts in the Current Labour Analysis Section of the Labour Statistics Division. The main tables are usually delivered nine days prior to the official release; the detailed tables are delivered the next day. The production manager and methodologists from the Household Survey Methods Division validate the survey weights. The labour analysts are not involved in the production process to assure that there is an independent review of the LFS numbers. This is an agency best practice.

Labour analysts review the numbers for anomalies, either unexpectedly high month-to-month changes or unexpectedly low changes. They can request additional tables or system checks from the production manager. Seasonally adjusted numbers are produced and validated by labour analysts, time series analysis experts and the production manager. Analysts also consult the Analytical Studies Branch to challenge the numbers and their interpretation in a broad economic perspective. One of the labour analysts is identified to lead the writing of the article to be released in The Daily, the official release vehicle for Statistics Canada data.

On the Friday, one week prior to official release, the analysts communicate high-level numbers and their interpretation to the Assistant Director and Director responsible for the LFS. The Director then communicates the results to the Director General and the Assistant Chief Statistician. At each of these meetings, the numbers and their interpretation are challenged; additional production checks or analyses can be requested.

On the Monday prior to official release, a first draft of the article for The Daily is reviewed and validated line‑by‑line during a 3‑ to 4‑hour session attended by labour analysts, the Assistant Director and the Director responsible for the LFS. Changes and further analysis or research are usually recommended, and carried out and incorporated into a second draft of the article that is reviewed and validated line‑by‑line during a second 3‑ to 4‑hour session with the same group on Tuesday. Throughout the analysis and validation of the numbers, analysts request more detailed tables or scan the Internet for additional information that could explain or provide more context to the numbers produced by the survey.

A draft communiqué is delivered to the Communications Division for preparation and translation of all the material for official release. Prior to release, this material is reviewed by the labour analyst and Communications staff. Two days prior to official release, the results of the LFS are presented by the Chief of the Current Labour Analysis Section to the Executive Management Board members (Chief Statistician and Assistant Chief Statisticians); the Director General, Education, Labour and Income Statistics; the Director General and the Principal Researcher, Analytical Studies Branch; and the Director General, Communications. The results are challenged, and additional checks and analyses can be requested.

A few days after official release, the LFS holds a monthly post-mortem to review data quality. It is attended by the Director or Assistant Director, collection managers, processing managers, labour analysts and methodologists. This is an agency best practice. The meeting usually focuses on the collection environment, in particular response rates, and the demographic coverage of the LFS sample.

Why was the error not detected earlier?

In the July 2014 occasion, all data production checks were executed as planned and the tables were delivered on schedule. Due to the change that had been made to the processing system, the production manager double-checked the systems logs and operations diagnostics. On the surface, the production appeared to have run without incident. The systems logs and operations diagnostics, including those in the imputation module, did not return any error codes or atypical results, despite the changes to the TABS file record layout. Our review assessed the operations diagnostics produced in the imputation module and confirmed that it did not reveal any irregular results that could have indicated a problem. Without a proper diagnostic in the imputation module to assess the match rate of current and previous month records, the production team was not aware that the module did not run as designed. This diagnostic was added to the module during the correction process.

Prior to starting the validation process, three sectors were identified as requiring particular attention: construction, education services, and health care and social assistance. A special complex analysis was planned and executed to look at the health-care sector. The numbers in these sectors, the low net increase in employment (200 jobs) and the decrease in full-time employment (-59,700 jobs) were challenged and discussed throughout the validation process up to the final presentation to the Executive Management Board members. At the end of each step, the LFS results were deemed plausible in the current economic context and the sampling variability inherent to the LFS.

Were the results plausible? To check this conclusion, our review conducted an analysis of the LFS results available on Statistics Canada's socioeconomic database, CANSIM, since January 1985 (for a total of 355 survey occasions). The following LFS results are all adjusted for seasonality. We observed that when total employment is growing, the LFS has produced a net change of 200 jobs or less (even negative) nearly one‑fifth of the time. The median net change when employment has grown is a gain of 22,000 jobs. This is similar to the LFS consensus forecast provided by external economists for the month of July 2014. As for full-time employment, the LFS results show that it has recently been stable. In similar situations in the past, the LFS has produced a net decrease of 60,000 jobs or more, roughly one‑sixth of the time. Based on this analysis, we judge that the initial incorrect results produced by the LFS were plausible given the inherent sampling variability in the survey process.

While the data validation steps were executed as planned, our review identified two key weaknesses. First, the analytical team involved in the validation process was not fully aware that a change had been made to the production system. While the labour analysts knew that such a change was in the works, they only found out that it had been implemented during the analytical validation. However, when the results were presented to senior management and questioned, no reference was made to the change to the processing system. Secondly, the analytical process lacked formal reports to assess the contribution of imputation on the LFS results. A report detailing non-response and the contribution of imputation to estimates by labour market status may have raised questions about the results. The review of more detailed reports on processing indicators at the monthly data quality meetings could have further raised awareness on the potential impact of imputation.

It is clear that the context in which any survey is conducted and processed has a bearing on the quality of the results. In this regard, the survey analysts and senior management reviewing the overall data quality of the results should be aware of this contextual information. As well, analysts should have reports on imputation outcomes and the impact on survey results.

The LFS data quality post-mortem should address any issues in the processing environment, including imputation, and should also take the opportunity to communicate any planned changes that may affect future survey cycles.

Recommendations

1. Governance

Given the importance of the LFS, and the complexity and age of the systems, all changes should be undertaken with a heightened sense of the risks involved and should not be considered to be regular maintenance. We recommend that proper governance and oversight be put in place, regardless of the size or perceived simplicity of the changes being made to the LFS. When implementing changes, the roles of the production manager and project manager, as well as developer, tester and acceptor, should be clearly separated. These roles and responsibilities should be formally documented and understood by the team.

2. Testing protocol

The testing of systems changes should be conducted in line with a set protocol. The scope of the testing in this incident was constrained based on the perceived importance and impact of the change that was being made. Had a protocol to systematically test all the components rather than a subset been in place, the error might have been avoided. We recommend that a formal testing protocol be developed and systematically implemented at Statistics Canada. It should take into consideration the importance of the program, as well as the age and complexity of the systems, and should clearly articulate the different roles and responsibilities of those involved in testing, as well as the scope of testing to be conducted. This testing protocol, as well as other corporate management framework components, should be clearly referred to when updating the agency's Quality Assurance Framework.

3. Diagnostics

Additional diagnostics and reports should be added to the LFS production process to ensure that systems are not just running, but running as expected and doing what they are supposed to do. Specifically, additional diagnostics should be included in the imputation module and the analysts should have a report on, and be aware of, the contribution of imputation to the estimates.

4. Documentation

Accurate and up-to-date systems documentation might have prevented this error from occurring. Steps should be taken to ensure a centralized set of documentation is systematically updated and reviewed for accuracy when system changes are made. We recommend a review of best practices around the use of systems documentation and how it can best be incorporated in the change management process.

5. Communication

The context in which a survey was conducted and processed has a bearing on the quality of the results. While we clearly support the separation of the production, analysis and management functions, the survey analysts and management reviewing the overall data quality of the results should be fully aware of the contextual events surrounding the survey production cycle. The LFS data quality meeting that is conducted each month for the LFS is also a best practice, and should include a discussion of all known upcoming events that could affect the next production cycles, including changes regardless of their perceived importance.

Briefings to the Executive Management Board members on mission critical survey results should start with a brief overview of the contextual events related to the survey environment. For any events identified, there should be an explanation of steps that were taken to mitigate the risks to data quality. The briefings should also include information on any upcoming events that may affect the future production cycles.

Conclusion

Our review of the July 2014 LFS incident indicates that a number of factors contributed to the publication of incorrect data. The primary factor was the lack of understanding among team members of the impact of changes made to the dwelling identification number on the system as a whole.

If the project had not been conducted as a systems maintenance activity, but rather as a formal sub‑project attached to the redesign, would it have received additional scrutiny and oversight, would the potential risks have been better understood, and would the testing plan have been challenged? We can only speculate what the answers to these questions are, but in hindsight it is clear that the project would have benefitted from increased oversight and governance, a heightened awareness of the risks involved, a more formal testing protocol, and enhanced communication.

The LFS is a complex system with numerous checks and balances. The recommendations in this report are meant to address the shortcomings that led to the July 2014 LFS error and ensure stronger quality assurance in the future.

Introduction

In November 2014, as part of the New Dissemination Model, Statistics Canada is preparing to launch a beta website for the purpose of engaging and seeking further input from Canadians by inviting them to discuss, comment and rate features of the beta website.

Objective

A privacy impact assessment for the New Dissemination Model Online Beta Consultation was conducted to determine if there were any privacy, confidentiality and security issues associated with the consultation, and to make recommendations for their resolution or mitigation as required.

Description

The beta website will be made available from various pages on the Statistics Canada website.

Participants are asked to provide a user name (alias) and their email address, which may be used to correspond with them if required. The comment sections will be moderated. Users will be informed that their comments will be held until they are vetted by the moderator.

Unregistered visitors may also take part in consultations by completing a form available on each page. These comments will not be posted online. There will also be a 5-star rating tool available on every page.

Risk Area Identification and Categorization

The privacy impact assessment also identifies the risk areas and categorizes the level of potential risk (level 1 representing the lowest level of potential risk and level 4, the highest) associated with the collection and use of personal information.

Personal information of participants:

• Type of program or activity – Level 1: Program or activity that does not involve a decision about an identifiable individual.
• Type of personal information involved and context – Level 1: Only personal information, with no contextual sensitivities, collected directly from the individual or provided with the consent of the individual for disclosure under an authorized program.
• Program or activity partners and private sector involvement – Level 1: Within the institution (among one or more programs within the same institution).
• Duration of the program or activity – Level 2: Short-term program or activity (November 12, 2014 to December 19, 2014).
• Program population – Level 3: The program's use of personal information for external administrative purposes affects certain individuals.
• Personal information transmission – Level 1: The personal information is used within a closed system (no connections to the Internet, Intranet or any other system and the circulation of hardcopy documents is controlled).
• Technology and privacy: The platform will use the Drupal software, which has already been implemented for other Statistics Canada online products, including StatCan Blog, Question of the Month and Chat with an Expert.
• Privacy breach: There is a very low risk of personal information being disclosed. Participants are responsible for the information that they post. Statistics Canada will not post comments that contain personal information.

Conclusion

This assessment of the New Dissemination Model Online Beta Consultation did not identify any privacy risks that cannot be managed using existing safeguards.

This table contains a concordance between vectors in the 1997 and 2010 baskets, where available. Given that the classification system in the two baskets is different, an indicator was assigned to each matched vectors to indicate their level of comparability.

The "comparability" indicator is defined as follows:

1. No, or almost no, conceptual differences
2. Minor conceptual differences
3. Major conceptual differences
4. No concordance
