Your answers are confidential.

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Therefore, for example, the Canada Revenue Agency cannot access identifiable survey records from Statistics Canada.

Information from this survey will be used for statistical purposes only and will be published in aggregate form only.

A – General information

Survey Purpose:

The purpose of this survey is to obtain information on the electricity generating capacity in Canada. This information is used by all levels of government in establishing informed policies in the energy area. In the case of public utilities, it is used by government agencies to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities. The private sector also uses this information in the corporate decision-making process.

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 must 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 and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and Yukon.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, as well as with the Alberta Ministry of Energy, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, the National Energy Board, Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

B – Reporting Instructions

To reduce your burden of response, the attached computer print-out contains the data we have on file for each of your generating station(s) as of December 31, 2010. We will continue to pre-fill this form unless otherwise notified.

Only report generating stations in which this company is the majority or sole owner.

Review all information associated with each generating station and indicate any additions, deletions and revisions on the pre-filled print-out.

If a new generating station was commissioned during the reference year of this survey, please complete all the questions on the form provided.

If a generating station is no longer in operation, please write "decommissioned" by the station name.

Name-plate rating should be reported except where, due to permanent changes (such as an upgrade or a replacement), they would be inappropriate.

11. Aircraft Type (Positions 29-33)

A partial list of aircraft designators appears in Appendix B.

12. Aircraft Capacity - Available Seats (Positions 34-36)

Report the total number of seats that were available for occupancy by passengers, either revenue or non-revenue, on the flight segment.

13. Aircraft Capacity - Total Available Weight (Positions 37-42)

Report the total aircraft capacity available for the carriage of revenue and non-revenue passengers, mail and cargo on the flight segment being reported, expressed in the unit of weight indicated on the statement. Total available weight capacity should, in theory, reflect changes for weight penalties because of range, weather and other factors.

14. Arriving/Departing Code (Position 43)

If the flight is an arriving flight then the code '1' is to be entered. The arriving and deplaned traffic data associated with the arriving flight are to be reported on the same line.

If the flight is a departing flight then the code '2' is to be entered. The enplaned and departing traffic data associated with the departing flight are to be reported on the same line.

15. Code for Sequence (Positions 44-45)

A carrier may report 'Code for Sequence if it does not wish to report 'Actual Time' of the arrival or departure. An example can be found below in Section C 'Time Reporting'.

16. Filler (Positions 46-49)

Leave blank.

17. Actual Time - Day of Arrival/Departure (Positions 50-51)

The actual day of operation in local time of arrival or departure at the gate is to be reported.

When a flight spans two months, only the portion of the flight perching to the reporting month is to be reported. The remainder of the flight should be filed in the report of the following month.

18. Actual Time - Hour of Arrival/Departure (Positions 52-53)

Report the actual local hour of the arrival or departure at the gate using the 24 hour clock.

19. Actual Time - Minute of Arrival/Departure (Positions 54-55)

Report the actual local minute of the arrival or departure at the gate.

20. Airport Arrived From/Departed To (Positions 56-59)

The 'Arrived From' ( or 'Last Airport') is to be the three-character code for that airport as listed in the OAG Desktop Guide issued for the reporting month. The last airport corresponds to the actual stop made immediately preceding the reporting airport in the flight itinerary; unless the last actual stop was a technical stop with no traffic or cargo enplaned or deplaned, in which case the previous stop would be used.

The 'Departed To' ( or 'Next Airport') is to be the three-character code for that airport as listed in the OAG Desktop Guide issued for the reporting month. The next airport corresponds to the actual stop made immediately following the reporting airport in the flight itinerary; unless the next actual stop was a technical stop with no traffic or cargo enplaned or deplaned, in which case the following stop would be used.

22, 24, 26 and 28. The last four fields of the reporting form contain the passenger and cargo data.

For arriving flights (code 1 in position 41) they should be:

  • Arriving
    • Revenue Pax 63-65
    • Cargo Weight 71-76
  • Deplaned
    • Revenue Pax 80-82
    • Cargo Weight 88-93

For departing flights (code 2 in position 41) they should be:

  • Enplaned
    • Revenue Pax 63-65
    • Cargo Weight 71-76
  • Departing
    • Revenue Pax 80-82
    • Cargo Weight 88-93

We are able to calculate intransit passengers from data filed in this manner (arriving minus deplaned or departing minus enplaned) thus, it is not necessary to explicitly code the number of intransit passengers on the Daily Airport Activities Report.

C. Time Reporting

Carriers are given the option of reporting on an 'Actual Times' basis or on a 'Code for
Sequence' basis.

Actual Time.
The carrier is to file the actual ramp (gate) time of each departure or arrival. If a carrier reports actual times the 'code for sequence' field (positions 44-45) should be left blank.

Code for Sequence
The 'code for sequence field' (positions 44-45) is to contain a number which indicates whether this is the first, second, third etc., Canadian station of the flight. Foreign origins or destinations are not 'Reporting Airports' and therefore, have no sequence numbers.

Example: For the flight itinerary HKG - YVR - YYZ the correct code for sequence entries would be:

  • Arrival/Departure
    • arrival at YVR
    • departure from YVR
    • arrival at YYZ
  • Code for Sequence
    • 01
    • 01
    • 02

If an aircraft makes a technical stop and no passengers or cargo are enplaned or deplaned then this station is not counted in the sequence numbering.

D. Examples

Assume that the airline with carrier code ZZ operates the following flights on February 2, 1997.

Example 1 Flight number 7488 BKK - HKG - YVR

Example 2 Flight number 5663 FRA - YUL - YYZ

Example 3 Flight number 3529 YVR - YYC - YWG

Note: To illustrate how flights should be reported, only selected fields are shown

Environmental Statistics Framework

Archived information

Archived information is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please "contact us" to request a format other than those available.

Consultation objectives

Statistics Canada will seek feedback from current and potential users of environmental statistics regarding their information needs and their opinions on the most appropriate choice for a conceptual framework for environmental statistics at Statistics Canada.

The agency is considering several options for establishing a conceptual framework for environmental statistics and is interested in the views of a broad range of users of statistics on the options.

Consultation method

The consultations will be conducted between October 2011 and October 2012, using a variety of mechanisms, including face-to-face discussions and telephone interviews. Both Statistics Canada staff and external consultants will be involved in conducting the consultations. The consultations will, for the most part, be held in locations across the country that are convenient for participants. A final workshop in Ottawa is being considered to conclude the process.

Consultation participants will include federal, provincial and municipal government officials, academics, business people and non-governmental organizations.

How to get involved

Individuals who wish to obtain more information or to take part in a consultation should contact Statistics Canada through the National Contact Centre.

Participants for each consultation are selected 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.

Results

Consultation results will be posted online when available.

Canadian Health Measures Survey

Archived information

Archived information is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please "contact us" to request a format other than those available.

Consultation objectives

In June and July 2012, Statistics Canada will be consulting with key stakeholders and data users of the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) as part of the departmental evaluation of the program.

The evaluation will allow Statistics Canada to obtain information on how CHMS data are used, assess the success of the program, and identify possible alternatives or improvements to the program.

Consultation method

Statistics Canada will seek input and feedback from users of CHMS data via email. A short survey will be sent to CHMS data users, who will be asked to complete it on a voluntary basis.

Statistics Canada will also conduct interviews with researchers, decision makers and members of advisory committees.

How to get involved

This consultation is now closed.

Individuals who wish to obtain more information or to take part in a consultation should contact Statistics Canada through the National Contact Centre.

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.

Search and Archiving

Archived information

Archived information is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please "contact us" to request a format other than those available.

Consultation objectives

Statistics Canada held consultations on the usability of its website from May to December 2011 as part of ongoing website improvement.

The search tool was redesigned in June 2011 to include radio buttons which enabled users to choose between current and archived content on the site. The main objective was to determine whether Statistics Canada website visitors found this new search tool easy to use, and whether it produced the expected results for specific searches.

How to get involved

This consultation is now closed.

For more information, contact Statistics Canada through the Statistical Information Service.

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.

Methodology

Two focus group sessions were conducted with a total of 16 participants to discuss how they envisioned searching for archived material and publications. First, participants created their own designs: the designs were reviewed, along with three developed internally by Statistics Canada. As a result of these discussions, a search tool was created.

Usability testing was then conducted to ensure the tool was easy to use and responded according to users' expectations. Participants were given a series of tasks related to key functions of the search tool. The functions and design were also discussed with participants.

Results

What worked

All participants responded very positively to the new search tool. They found the radio button labels intuitive, and seemed to instinctively know that each button would produce different search results. Once participants had a chance to use the new search tool, they better understood its capabilities as well as its limitations. Two features, "Does Statistics Canada collect this information?" and the archived pages were viewed as beneficial resources.

The "Specialized search tools" link was well received, but some participants wanted to see certain options (the Statistics Canada "Thesaurus" and the "Advanced search") available without having to click this link.

What did not work

There is an inconsistency in the labelling between the home page and the main search page.

Participants did not find the "What search covers" label intuitive.

Participants ignored many of the labels and messages on the archiving pages. As a result, some did not understand that they were already in an archived publication.

Although participants found the "Does Statistics Canada collect this information?" resource very useful, they did not find the title of this link intuitive. If the list is expanded, they would like to see an A-to-Z listing for the search terms.

Recommendations

The current design and functionality of the radio buttons should be kept, but the labels should be kept consistent between the search results page and the homepage.

The "What search covers" feature needs to be described more clearly.

Remove the "What search covers" link from the homepage and the search results page. Users can now access the information from this page through the Help page.

Consider changing the title of the link or page "Does Statistics Canada collect this information?"

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.
