Notes on survey questions

1.1 Identifying IP – Reports and disclosures:

  • Invention: Includes any new and useful art, process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement in any art, process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter (Public Servants Inventions Act. R.S., c. P-31, s. 1.). Some inventions are patentable in some jurisdictions but not in others: these include novel genetically-engineered life forms, new microbial life forms, methods of medical treatment and computer software.
  • Copyrightable IP can be broken into the following:
    • Computer software or databases: As noted above, computer software can be patented but normally it is protected by copyright. Databases may also be copyrighted.
    • Educational materials: This category includes special materials that may be copyrighted but are not necessarily in the form of printed books. This could include broadcast lessons, Internet pages, booklets, posters or computer files, among others.
    • Other material: This category includes any copyrightable works other than computer software and databases and special educational materials such as literary, artistic, dramatic or musical works, books, and papers.
  • Industrial designs: These are original shapes, patterns or ornamentations applied to a manufactured article. Industrial designs are protected by registration with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
  • Trademarks: These are words, symbols, designs, or combinations thereof used to distinguish your wares or services from someone else's. Trademarks are registered with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
  • Integrated circuit topographies: This is a three-dimensional configuration of the electronic circuits used in microchips and semiconductor chips. Integrated circuit topographies can be protected by registration with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
  • New plant varieties: Certain plant varieties that are new, different, uniform and stable may be protected by registration with the Plant Breeders' Rights Office, Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
  • Know-how: This is practical knowledge, technique or expertise. For example, certain information is codified in the patent application but a researcher's know-how could be valuable for commercial optimization of the product. Know-how can be licensed independently of the terms of a related patent.

2.1 Patents:

  • Initiating patent applications include provisional or first filings.
  • Follow-on patent applications include any that claim priority from an initiating patent application.
  • Patents pending: A label sometimes affixed to new products informing others that the inventor has applied for a patent and that legal protection from infringement (including retroactive rights) may be forthcoming.

3.1 New and active licences:

  • "New licences executed" refers to the completion of an agreement with a client to use the institution's intellectual property for a fee or other consideration (such as equity in the company).
  • "Exclusive or Sole licences" refers to agreements allowing only one client the right to use the intellectual property.
  • "Exclusive licence" refers to one granted that is exclusive for a territory, for a field of use worldwide or otherwise. Hence, there may be multiple exclusive licences for a single patent.

3.2 Income received is in thousands of Canadian dollars:

  • Running royalties are those based on the sale of products.
  • Milestone payments are those made by a licensee at predetermined points in the commercialization process.
  • One time sales of IP includes income from assignments to commercial exploiters.
  • Other income received from IP: For example, if a potential licensee contributes the funds to apply for the patent, this could be considered another source of income. Please list all items whether or not figures are available.

New Data Tables

Consultation objectives

Statistics Canada identified the need for a more simplified, coherent and user-friendly website and changed the way it disseminates information to Canadians. Statistics Canada launched its New Dissemination Model in spring 2018.

As part of this new launch, CANSIM tables have been replaced by data tables with the same or similar content that have a consistent presentation and that will be dynamically updated as new results are released. Other changes include the following:

  • Simpler titles to provide greater clarity about the primary focus and components of the table.
  • Each table is initially presented with drop-down filters that allow users to quickly navigate to the data points of interest.
  • Further customization using an Add/remove data button.
  • Having the option to pivot table rows and columns, using the customize layout button.

Following such a large transformation, it is important to ensure that a positive user experience is still provided and that users are able to obtain the desired data in an effective and efficient manner.

Consultation methodology

Statistics Canada conducted in-person usability consultations. Participants were asked to complete a series of tasks and to provide feedback on various New Dissemination Model Data Tables.

How to get involved

This consultation is now closed.

Individuals who wish to obtain more information or to take part in a future consultation may contact Statistics Canada by sending an email to statcan.consultations-consultations.statcan@statcan.gc.ca.

Please note that Statistics Canada selects participants for each consultation to ensure feedback is sought from a representative sample of the target population for the study. Not all applicants will be asked to participate in a given consultation.

Statistics Canada is committed to respecting the privacy of consultation participants. All personal information created, held or collected by the agency is protected by the Privacy Act. For more information on Statistics Canada's privacy policies, please consult the Privacy notice.

Results

What worked

All participants were able to complete the majority of tasks without any major issues. They thought that the tables were fairly easy to use and contained useful features. Participants were fond of the layout and the simplicity of the tables. Overall, the new data tables were well received by participants as they thought that the information provided was clear and easy to understand.

Areas for improvement

  • Participants wanted the ability to further modify and manipulate variables. Additionally, all participants were not unaware and unable to find the tables with additional calculations.
  • Participants indicated that the units of measure were not always consistently indicated in the same area and were not included in the tables.
  • At times, participants were confused by certain labels within the list of indicators and within the manipulation function of the tables.
  • Most participants were not aware of the meaning of the different download options and were concerned that these options did not fully meet their needs.

Recommendations

  • Explore the possibility of adding additional features related to the manipulation of variables, and clearly indicate the availability of tables with additional calculations.
  • Ensure consistency when displaying the units of measure and consider including them within the tables.
  • All sections must be clearly and intuitively labelled to ensure that users know where to find the information they are looking for.
  • Ensure that each download option is clearly explained and consider providing users with download options that better meet their needs.

Statistics Canada thanks participants for their participation in this consultation. Their insights guide the agency's web development and ensure that the final products meet users' expectations.

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.

What are Capital Expenditures?

What are Capital Expenditures?
Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others.
Include:

  • cost of all new buildings, engineering, machinery and equipment which normally have a life of more than one year and are charged to fixed asset accounts
  • modifications, additions and major renovations
  • capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
  • subsidies
  • capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
  • work done by own labour force
  • additions to work in progress.

How to Treat Leases:
Include:

  • assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease
  • assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude:

  • assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

Information for Government Departments
The following applies to government departments only:

  • include all capital expenditures without taking into account the capitalization threshold of your department
  • grants and/or subsidies to outside entities ( e.g. , municipalities, agencies, institutions or businesses) are to be excluded
  • departments are requested to exclude from reported figures budgetary items pertaining to any departmental agency and proprietary crown corporation as they are surveyed separately
  • federal departments are to report expenditures paid for by the department, regardless of which department awarded the contract
  • provincial departments are to include any capital expenditures on construction (exclude outlays for land) and/or machinery and equipment, for use in Canada, financed from revolving funds, loans attached to revolving funds, other loans, the Consolidated Revenue Fund or special accounts.

Capital Expenditures - Preliminary Estimate 2018

1. For the 2018 fiscal year, what are this organization's preliminary estimates for capital expenditures?

Report the value of the projects expected to be put in place during the 2018 fiscal year.

Include:

  • the gross expenditures (including subsidies) on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others
  • all capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees as well as work done by your own labour force
  • additions to work in progress.

Imported used fixed assets should be reported under New assets including financial leases.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets
Definition: Used fixed assets may be defined as existing buildings, structures or machinery and equipment which have been previously used by another organization in Canada that you have acquired during the time period being reported on this questionnaire.
Explanation: The objective of our survey is to measure gross annual new acquisitions to fixed assets separately from the acquisition of gross annual used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole.

Hence, the acquisition of a used fixed Canadian asset should be reported separately since such acquisitions would not change the aggregates of our domestic inventory of fixed assets, it would simply mean a transfer of assets within Canada from one organization to another.

Imports of used assets, on the other hand, should be included with the new assets because they are newly acquired for the Canadian economy.

Work in Progress:
Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.
Typically capital investment includes any expenditure on an asset in which its' life is greater than one year. Capital items charged to operating expenses are defined as expenditures which could have been capitalized as part of the fixed assets, but for various reasons, have been charged to current expenses.

Land
Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated.

Residential Construction
Report the value of residential structures including the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
Exclude:

  • buildings that have accommodation units without self-contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities ( e.g. , some student and senior citizen residences)
  • the non-residential portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites
  • associated expenditures on services.

The exclusions should be included in non-residential construction.

Non-Residential Building Construction (excluding land purchase and residential construction)
Report the total cost incurred during the year of building construction (contract and by own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Include also:

  • the cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and of site-preparation
  • leasehold and land improvements
  • all preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.
  • townsite facilities, such as streets, sewers, stores, schools.

Non-Residential Engineering Construction
Report the total cost incurred during the year of engineering construction (contract and by own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Include also:

  • the cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and of site-preparation

  • oil or gas pipelines, including pipe and installation costs
  • communication engineering, including transmission support structures, cables and lines, etc.
  • electric power engineering, including wind and solar plants, nuclear production plants, power distribution networks, etc.

Machinery and Equipment
Report total cost incurred during the year of all new machinery, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Any capitalized tooling should also be included. Include progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made. Receipts from the sale of your own fixed assets or allowance for scrap or trade-in should not be deducted from your total capital expenditures. Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.
Include:

  • automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances
  • computers (hardware and software), broadcasting, telecommunication and other information and communication technology equipment

Research and Development

2. For the 2018 fiscal year, did this organization perform scientific research and development in Canada of at least $10,000 or outsource (contract-out) to another organization scientific research and development activities of at least $10,000?

Research and experimental development (R&D) comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge - including knowledge of humankind, culture and society - and to devise new applications of available knowledge. For an activity to be an R&D activity, it must satisfy five core criteria:

  1. To be aimed at new findings (novel);
  2. To be based on original, not obvious, concepts and hypothesis (creative);
  3. To be uncertain about the final outcome (uncertainty);
  4. To be planned and budgeted (systematic);
  5. To lead to results that could be possibly reproduced (transferable/ or reproducible).

The term R&D covers three types of activity: basic research, applied research and experimental development. Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view. Applied research is original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific, practical aim or objective. Experimental development is systematic work, drawing on knowledge gained from research and practical experience and producing additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes or to improving existing products or processes.

Explanation: The objective of our survey is to measure gross annual new acquisitions to fixed assets separately from the acquisition of gross annual used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole.

Hence, the acquisition of a used fixed Canadian asset should be reported separately since such acquisitions would not change the aggregates of our domestic inventory of fixed assets, it would simply mean a transfer of assets within Canada from one organization to another.

Imports of used assets, on the other hand, should be included with the new assets because they are newly acquired for the Canadian economy.

Work in Progress:
Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.
Typically capital investment includes any expenditure on an asset in which its' life is greater than one year. Capital items charged to operating expenses are defined as expenditures which could have been capitalized as part of the fixed assets, but for various reasons, have been charged to current expenses.

Land
Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated.

Residential Construction
Report the value of residential structures including the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
Exclude:

  • buildings that have accommodation units without self-contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities ( e.g. , some student and senior citizen residences)
  • the non-residential portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites
  • associated expenditures on services.

The exclusions should be included in non-residential construction.

Non-Residential Building Construction (excluding land purchase and residential construction)
Report the total cost incurred during the year of building construction (contract and by own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Include also:

  • the cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and of site-preparation
  • leasehold and land improvements
  • all preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.
  • townsite facilities, such as streets, sewers, stores, schools.

Non-Residential Engineering Construction
Report the total cost incurred during the year of engineering construction (contract and by own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Include also:

  • the cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and of site-preparation
  • leasehold and land improvements
  • all preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.
  • oil or gas pipelines, including pipe and installation costs
  • communication engineering, including transmission support structures, cables and lines, etc.
  • electric power engineering, including wind and solar plants, nuclear production plants, power distribution networks, etc.

Machinery and Equipment
Report total cost incurred during the year of all new machinery, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Any capitalized tooling should also be included. Include progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made. Receipts from the sale of your own fixed assets or allowance for scrap or trade-in should not be deducted from your total capital expenditures. Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.
Include:

  • automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances
  • computers (hardware and software), broadcasting, telecommunication and other information and communication technology equipment
  • motors, generators, transformers any capitalized tooling expenses
  • progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made

Research and Development

4. For the 2019 fiscal year, does this organization plan on performing scientific research and development in Canada of at least $10,000 or outsourcing (contracting-out) to another organization scientific research and development activities of at least $10,000?

Research and experimental development (R&D) comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge - including knowledge of humankind, culture and society - and to devise new applications of available knowledge. For an activity to be an R&D activity, it must satisfy five core criteria:

  1. To be aimed at new findings (novel);
  2. To be based on original, not obvious, concepts and hypothesis (creative);
  3. To be uncertain about the final outcome (uncertainty);
  4. To be planned and budgeted (systematic);
  5. To lead to results to could be possibly reproduced (transferable/ or reproducible).

The term R&D covers three types of activity: basic research, applied research and experimental development. Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view. Applied research is original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific, practical aim or objective. Experimental development is systematic work, drawing on knowledge gained from research and practical experience and producing additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes or to improving existing products or processes.

Crop Report Survey at a Glance

Crop Report Survey at a Glance (PDF, 1.43 MB)
Crop Report Survey at a Glance
Description: Crop Report Survey at a Glance

The graphic has five sections: December, March, June, July and August, and November.

During winter, while snow still covers the fields, farmers provide their preliminary seeding intentions on the December Field Crop Survey, including area estimates of the type of crop and area that they intend to seed. Farmers also provide the first reading of farm stock levels after the preceding fall harvest, which contributes to a supply and disposition exercise. (In the December section of the graphic, there is an image of a farm with mountains in the background with snow. An arrow leads to the March section of the graphic.)

At the mid-point of the crop year, a model-based approach uses historical survey data and administrative data to produce mid-year estimates of farm stocks. (In the March section of the graphic, there is an image of a farmer holding a clip board and crops visible in the background. An arrow leads to the June section of the graphic.)

With planting well underway and, in many cases, fully complete, farmers provide final area estimates of what they have actually seeded during the collection of the June Field Crop Survey. Climatic events, including flooding, and poor weather conditions often contribute to differences between seeding intentions collected in the winter and final seeded area.

Farmers also report their final reading of farm stocks as the crop year comes to an end. (In the June section of the graphic, there is an image of a person recording information on a tablet with tractor cultivating a field in the background. An arrow leads to the July and August section of the graphic.)

In July and August, as crops are growing and maturing, a crop yield model uses satellite, agroclimatic and administrative data to produce preliminary yield and production estimates on two separate occasions throughout the summer. (In the July and August section of the graphic, there is an image of a farmer holding a digital device. An arrow leads to the November section of the graphic.)

In November, when much of the harvest across the country is complete, farmers provide the final harvested area, yield and production data that they have actually obtained.

These are the final estimates of the year, and this release is often considered the most important. These data will be incorporated into the supply and disposition exercise. (In the November section of the graphic, there is an image of a group of farmers holding harvested crops and handheld tools. An arrow leads to the December section of the graphic.)

Reporting instructions

  • When precise figures are not available, please provide your best estimates.

Definitions

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.

Operating Name
The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.

Current main activity of the business or organization
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 unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, 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.

Question 1

Planted area refers to an area of land that potatoes were planted on during the spring of the reference year.

Question 2

Harvested area refers to an area of land where potatoes were harvested during the fall of the reference year. If harvest is currently not complete, please report the area of land that you expect to harvest.

Question 3

Yield is the measure of a crop produced from single unit of land area.

To calculate: yield = production / harvested area of land

For example, if you produced 2,500 cwt of potatoes on 10 acres of land, yield is 250 cwt per acre.

Production is the amount of crop produced from all harvested land area.

To calculate: production = yield * harvested area of land

For example, if you produced 250 cwt per acre of potatoes and harvested 10 acres, production would be 2,500 cwt.

Question 6

Of the potatoes that were harvested, the percentage that will be marketable are considered to 'make grade'.

For example: 100 pounds of potatoes were harvested, however, only 90% of the potatoes will be marketable/make grade.
Report: 90%

Thank you for your participation.

2017 Annual Survey of Research and Development in Canadian Industry Industrial Non-profit Organizations

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey collects information on scientific activities of Canadian businesses and industrial non-profit organizations. The research and development expenditures and personnel information is used by federal, provincial and territorial governments and agencies, academics, trade associations and international organizations for statistical analyses and policy purposes. These data also contribute to national totals of research and development activities. The payments and receipts information is used by these agencies to monitor knowledge flows across international borders and between Canadian organizations.

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.

In-house R&D personnel in 2017

71. In 2017, how many in-house R&D personnel within Canada did this organization have in the following R&D occupations?

Full-time equivalent (FTE)

R&D may be carried out by persons who work solely on R&D projects or by persons who devote only part of their time to R&D, and the balance to other activities such as testing, quality control and production engineering. To arrive at the total effort devoted to R&D in terms of personnel, it is necessary to estimate the full-time equivalent of these persons working only part-time in R&D .

Full-time equivalent (FTE) = Number of persons who work solely on R&D projects + the time of persons working only part of their time on R&D .

Example calculation: If out of four scientists engaged in R&D work, one works solely on R&D projects and the remaining three devote only one quarter of their working time to R&D, then: FTE = 1 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1.75 scientists.

R&D personnel

Include:

  • permanent, temporary and casual R&D employees
  • independent on-site R&D consultants and contractors working in your organization's offices, laboratories, or other facilities
  • employees engaged in R&D -related support activities.

Researchers and research managers are composed of:

  • Scientists, social scientists, engineers and researchers are professionals engaged in the conception or creation of new knowledge. They conduct research and improve or develop concepts, theories, models, techniques instrumentation, software or operational methods. They may be certified by provincial or territorial educational authorities, provincial, territorial or national scientific or engineering associations.
  •  Senior research managers plan or manage R&D projects and programs. They may be certified by provincial or territorial educational authorities, provincial, territorial or national scientific or engineering associations.

R&D technical, administrative and support staff are composed of:

  • Technicians and technologists and research assistants are persons whose main tasks require technical knowledge and experience in one or more fields of engineering, the physical and life sciences, or the social sciences, humanities and the arts. They participate in R&D by performing scientific and technical tasks involving the application of concepts, operational methods and the use of research equipment, normally under the supervision of researchers. They may be certified by provincial or territorial educational authorities, provincial, territorial or national scientific or engineering associations.
  • Other R&D technical, administrative support staff include skilled and unskilled craftsmen, and administrative, secretarial and clerical staff participating in R&D projects or directly associated with such projects.

On-site R&D consultants and contractors are individuals hired 1) to perform project-based work or to provide goods at a fixed or ascertained price or within a certain time or 2) to provide advice or services in a specialized field for a fee and, in both cases, work at the location specified and controlled by the contracting company or organization.
