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.

Fall rye and winter wheat seeded in previous year

Fall rye:
Rye that is seeded and germinates in the fall of one year, is dormant over the winter and resumes growth in the spring.

Winter wheat:
Wheat that is seeded and germinates in the fall of one year, is dormant over the winter and resumes growth in the spring. Winter wheat is grown in areas with milder winters.

Seeding in 2018

Barley:
A high energy cereal grown primarily for livestock feed. It is usually harvested for grain, but is also occasionally cut green for hay or silage. Ontario, Quebec only: include winter barley seeded the previous fall.

Buckwheat:
A plant grown as green manure and as a cereal crop.

Canary seed:
A cereal grain primarily grown for use as birdseed, as well as for human consumption. Most of the canary seed grown in Canada is exported.

Canola:
Canola are plants grown specifically for their low erucic acid oil and low glucosinolate content. Canola meal, the residue after the oil is extracted, is used in animal feeds as a protein source. This crop also includes Industry Preserved canola (IP).

Chickpeas:
Leguminous annual pea plant cultivated for human consumption. Also called Garbanzo beans.

Corn for grain:
Also called "Grain Corn", this is corn left to mature in the field, then harvested for grain rather than as forage. The grain may be harvested dry or as "high moisture corn" and stored in a silo. "Shelled Corn", "Cob Corn" and "Corn Seed" are also considered as Corn for Grain.

Corn for silage, etc.:
This is corn that is cut while still immature. It is then turned into silage or is grazed. This category also includes corn that is left standing in the fall or winter, for feed purposes. This category is also referred to as fodder corn.

Dry beans:
Please report all dry beans (black, red, white, fava, etc.) individually. Other and unknown varieties examples: adzuki (azuki, aduki), baby lima, black eyes peas, Dutch brown, kintoki, large lima, lupini, otebo, pink, speckled sugar, white kidney (cannellini, alubia type).

Dry field peas:
An annual leguminous plant producing three-inch long pods, grown to be harvested when dry.

Flaxseed:
A plant grown for its oil-bearing seeds (e.g., linseed) as well as for its fibres (e.g., linen).

Hemp:
Crop (often called industrial hemp) that can be transformed into textiles, clothing, cosmetics, soap, beer, industrial fibre, building materials and paper. Canada's hemp industry is pioneering the development of hemp-based foods: flour, nutritional bars, pasta, cookies, lactose-free milk and ice cream.

Lentils:
Annual plants similar to peas, which produce pods containing two dark flat seeds.

Mixed grains:
A combination of two or more grains (e.g., oats and barley or peas and oats sown and harvested together), usually harvested for grain. It may also be cut green for hay or silage.

Mustard seed:
An oilseed crop that generates seed-filled pods used mostly for spice and to make the yellow condiment. Three main types are grown on the Prairies: yellow, brown and oriental.

Oats:
A cereal grown primarily for livestock feed. Oats are usually harvested for grain but may also be cut green for hay or silage. Oats are also grown for human consumption (e.g., oatmeal and oat bran).

Soybeans:
A plant primarily grown for their edible, high protein, oil-bearing seeds.

Spring rye:
Rye seeded in the spring and harvested in the fall. This type of rye is grown only in areas which are too cold for fall seeding (e.g., Northern Prairies).

Sugar beets:
Large beets (6" to 12") selected for their high sugar content and used for making white table sugar.

Sunflower seed:
Plants from which the seeds are selected either for their oil content, or for use as birdseed or for confectionery purposes. Includes sunola and other dwarf varieties.

Triticale:
Triticale is a varietal cross between rye and wheat. It is harvested for its grain but often it is cut for hay or silage.

Tobacco:
The tobacco plant is a coarse, large leafed perennial but it is usually cultivated as an annual.

Wheat

Wheat, durum:
A variety of wheat sown in the spring, used to make pasta products.

Wheat, spring:
Is the main type of wheat grown in Canada. It is seeded in the spring and harvested in the late summer or early fall of the same year.

Wheat, spring — Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) — Hard Red:
CWRS wheat is the largest wheat class in Canada. It is recognized around the world for its excellent milling and baking qualities with minimal protein loss during milling. Due to good gluten strength, it is used extensively either alone or in blends with other wheat varieties for the production of a diverse range of products such as hearth breads, steam breads, noodles, common wheat pasta, and flat breads.

Wheat, spring — Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR):
Wheat of medium to hard kernels with a very good milling quality and medium gluten strength. The end uses are mostly hearth breads, steamed breads, flat breads, and noodles. Examples of CNHR are AAC Concord, Elgin ND, Faller and Prosper.

Wheat, spring — Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR):
This class of wheat is bred for high yields, has medium to strong dough properties and has medium protein content. CPSR is used for hearth breads, steamed breads, flat breads, crackers, noodles and has become recognized as a viable feedstock for ethanol production. Examples of CPSR wheat are: Oslo, Cutler and Enchant.

Wheat, spring — Canada Prairie Spring White (CPSW):
The white sub-class of the CPS has medium to strong dough properties and has low to medium protein content. CPSW can be used for a wide variety of low volume breads, noodles and chapatis. Examples of CPSW wheat are: AC Karma and AC Vista.

Wheat, spring — Canada Western Extra Strong (CWES):
It was previously called Utility. Includes varieties of hard red spring wheat (e.g., Glenlea, Bluesky, and Wildcat). CWES class have milling and baking qualities different from other wheat. Its extra strong gluten content is used in specialty products when high gluten strength is needed, and desirable as blending wheat with softer, weaker wheat.

Wheat, spring — Canada Western Hard White Spring (CWHWS):
Varieties have been developed using the CWRS quality profile with superior milling and dough properties as well as improved flour colour (e.g., AAC Iceberg, AAC Whitefox). Hard white wheat is in demand by millers and bakers due to an improved flavour profile when used in whole grain baked products. It is suitable for bread and noodle production.

Wheat, spring — Canada Western Soft White Spring (CWSWS):
This soft white spring wheat has low protein content and is used for cookies, cakes, pastry, flat breads, noodles, steamed breads, chapatis. Examples of CWSWS classes are: AC Chiffon, AC Indus, AAC Paramount, AC Andrew, AC Meena, AC Nanda, Bhishaj, Sadash.

Wheat, spring — Canada Western Special Purpose (CWSP):
It is Western Canada's newest class of wheat. Generally, varieties in this class are typically high-yielding and are not appropriate for milling because of their high starch and low protein content. Due to the combination of high starch and low protein, they are most suitable for uses such as ethanol product or animal feed.

Wheat, spring — other:
Include all varieties not listed such as unlicensed varieties, Grandin wheat, and milling classes of eastern Canadian spring wheat (e.g., Canada Eastern Hard White Spring (CEHWS), Canada Eastern Red Spring (CERS), Canada Eastern Soft White Spring (CESWS)).

Wheat, winter:
Wheat that is seeded in the fall of one year, germinates and "overwinters", resumes growth in the spring and then is harvested in the mid -summer. Winter Wheat is grown in areas with milder winters.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

Genetically modified organisms – GMOs
Crops developed through genetic engineering, a more precise method of plant breeding. Genetic engineering, also referred to as biotechnology, allows plant breeders to take a desirable trait found in nature and transfer it from one plant or organism to the plant they want to improve, as well as make a change to an existing trait in a plant they are developing. Some examples of desirable traits commonly transferred include resistance to insects and disease and tolerance to herbicides that allow farmers to better control weeds.

Biotechnology
The application of science and engineering in the use of living organisms.

Genetic engineering
A technique involving the transfer of specific genetic information from one organism to another.

Genetically modified seed
A seed whose genetic information has been recently altered by genetic engineering or mutagenesis.

Mutagenesis
A process by which an organism is genetically changed, resulting in a mutation, which is a change in the DNA sequence of a gene. It may occur naturally or it can happen deliberately for the purpose of increasing genetic variation of a species. Commonly used tool for plant breeding, in which researchers force the mutation of a plant's genetics, for example, by exposing seeds to chemicals or irradiation. Crops created with mutagenesis breeding are not considered GMOs and this technique is not considered genetic engineering. In fact, varieties developed using these techniques are considered to be "conventional" varieties and are allowed in organic production systems.

Plant breeding
The science of selecting and altering plants to increase their value by producing desirable traits such as increased quality or yield, virus resistance or increased tolerance to pests.

Terminator gene
A gene that renders seeds sterile.

Transgenic
A plant or animal containing one or more new genes introduced by genetic engineering.

Other terms used for genetically modified seed corn for grain
Liberty Link, Roundup Ready, HTH, Bt Corn (YieldGard, KnockOut, NatureGuard, Xtra, StarLink and Herculex).

Tame hay and forage seed

Exclude forage crops to be harvested for hay or used for pasture.

Other land areas

Summerfallow:
Land on which no crop will be grown during the year, but which may be cultivated or worked for weed control and/or moisture conservation, or it may simply be left to lay fallow in order to renew the soil.

Chemfallow:
Summerfallow where herbicides are used without working the soil.

Winterkilled land:
Crop areas sown in the previous fall that did not survive the winter conditions, which will not be reseeded or pastured to another crop in the following spring.

Land for pasture or grazing:
All land which is being used for pasture, grazing, native pasture, native hay, rangeland and grazable bush used for the grazing or feeding of livestock.

Other land:
Area of farmstead, wasteland, woodland, cut-over land, slough, swamp, marshland and irrigation ditches, fruits and vegetables, mushrooms, maple trees, Christmas trees, sod, or new broken land (land which has been cleared and prepared for cultivation but will not be cropped).

Thank you for your participation.

Statistics Canada's Privacy Framework

Statistics Canada's privacy framework is a collection of approved practices, procedures and governance related to privacy. By consolidating all these elements of privacy protection into a single document, the full scope of privacy controls within the operations of Statistics Canada is evident.

This document will reflect any new practices, procedures or governance that are relevant to this privacy framework, as they evolve. As such, the Statistics Canada's Privacy Framework remains evergreen. When updates are required, they will be prepared by the Chief Privacy Officer for Statistics Canada and presented to Security Coordination Committee for approval.

1. Chief Privacy Officer

The Director, Office of Privacy Management and Information Coordination, is the Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) for Statistics Canada, as designated by the Chief Statistician. The CPO provides leadership on matters related to privacy, develops business strategies and processes that ensure that privacy is considered and accounted for in business decision, and ensures the safeguarding of the information by doing privacy program reviews.

The CPO draws expertise from their role as the Office of Privacy Management and Information Coordination (OPMIC) Director, and is supported by the Chief Security Officer (CSO), as well as the Chief Information Officer (CIO), as matters related to physical and IT security, and information management are crucial elements to support privacy protection in an organization.

The CPO administers the departmental privacy program, which is responsible for:

  • Developing and implementing policies and procedures to support the protection of personal information in the organization
  • Providing advice to employees and management on privacy related matters
  • Investigating and reporting breaches of personal information
  • Undertaking program reviews to ensure compliance to privacy
  • Providing training to all employees on privacy

2. Privacy governance

Statistics Canada is subject to the Privacy Act which means that it must ensure compliance to the privacy principles embedded in the Act, including the protection of personal information. As Statistics Canada's main legislation, the Statistics Act also provides for the protection of the information collected under its mandate, the interpretation of the two legislations for the protection of information can work together. The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of personal information without the consent of the individual unless specifically permitted by the Privacy Act. However, the information may be subject to other legislation that would prohibit its disclosure. This other legislation that would prohibit the disclosure is the Statistics Act which explicitly states that information that could identify an individual cannot be disclosed. There is an exception in the Statistics Act that disclosure may be permitted with the consent of the individual (and at the discretion of the Chief Statistician) which aligns with the Privacy Act's principle of disclosure with consent.

Statistics Canada is not subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). However, PIPEDA can impact the operations of Statistics Canada as data providers are subject to it which can limit their authority to disclose personal information to Statistics Canada.

3. Policies and procedures

Policies and procedures are crucial for a consistent interpretation of the privacy obligations. Having a formal policy or procedure in the organization ensures that all employees, including management have a common understanding of the organization's objective and application of privacy principles. As not all employees can be experts in the interpretation of the Privacy Act or its supporting policies, this element is supported by experts in the Office of Privacy Management and Information Coordination that are available to provide advice.

Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada (TBS) is responsible for providing guidance on the interpretation of the Privacy Act as well as issuing policies to support compliance. Statistics Canada is subject to these policies.

Statistics Canada also has a list of policy instruments (listed below) that incorporate the privacy principles within its statistical programs. The generic Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) offers a clear correlation of them.

In regards to employee privacy, TBS provides the policies to support compliance to privacy principles and Statistics Canada has developed best practices and procedures to reinforce the policies.

Confirmation of compliance forms When a statistical program seeks to undertake an activity that is not expressly authorized in a directive, but aligns to the principles in the directive, they may complete a confirmation of compliance form and submit it to the appropriate committee for confirmation.

5. Experts

Statistics Canada also has experts to support the programs and employees with the interpretation of legislation, policies and directives.

The Security Coordination Committee, which is comprised of senior managers from across the agency, plays an important role in supporting privacy within the organization. It assists and advises in the development of appropriate policies, procedures and programs, including training and awareness programs.

The Office of Privacy Management and Information Coordination (OPMIC) is mainly responsible for providing advice on the application of the legislation, policies and directives related to privacy. It ensures proper safeguards are in place to mitigate or eliminate any risks of improper use or disclosure of information as well as measures to ensure the integrity and availability of the information.

OPMIC provides Statistics Canada employees with sound direction on the protection of information in their daily activities. Through awareness campaigns, the IM Portal on the ICN, and its questions mailboxes, OPMIC is an information source and reminder of the importance of compliance with agency directives.

The Integrated Security Awareness Working group, which is comprised of IT, IM, and physical security experts, ensures that activities related to the security of personal information communicate a consistent and clear message to all employees.

6. Addressing specific privacy elements

The following are specific privacy elements related to the statistical operations of Statistics Canada. The elements were integrated in the statistical processes and support a robust and transparent privacy framework.

a. Consent

For personal information collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, the element of consent is found in many of the processes at Statistics Canada. The Agency has developed practices for when to seek consent from an individual or not in consideration that the information is solely used for statistical purposes.

Processes, type of consent, and reason
Processes Type of Consent Reason
Collection Direct collection: consent to participate is implied when the individual provides their information. Individuals are informed if the collection is voluntary or mandatory. Direct collection: Individuals have an opportunity to refuse to participate in voluntary surveys by simply not providing the information.
Indirect collection: It is implied that consent was provided or authority to disclose to Statistics Canada exists. Indirect collection: the data providers have the responsibility to ensure they have the authority to provide the information to Statistics Canada.
Sharing and disclosing Respondents to surveys are asked, at the time of collection, for the expressed consent to share their information, informed of the exact recipient and the statistical use of the information. The Statistics Act allows the sharing of information with the consent of the respondent and an agreement between Statistics Canada and the receiving organization must be in place. The sharing is only allowed for statistical purposes unless the receiving organizations has a legislation that would compel the individual to provide their information.
Respondents to surveys are asked, at the time of collection or after, for their expressed consent to disclose their information. They are informed of the exact recipient and the statistical use of the information. The Statistics Act allows the disclosure of information with the consent of the respondent and authorization from the Chief Statistician. When personal information is disclosed, Statistics Canada requires the recipient to sign a confidentiality agreement or undertaking, by which they agree to keep the information confidential and use it for statistical purposes only.
Tax data: Respondents to surveys are asked for their expressed consent to disclose their tax information to another party. Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) allows Statistics Canada to disclose the tax information of a respondent if the expressed and clear consent (specific question by CRA) is received from the respondent. The Chief Statistician may use his discretion to disclose the information.
Children: Respondents to surveys, 14 and under, are not asked for their consent to share their information. The consent is requested from the parent/guardian. Statistics Canada also uses the principle of reasonable expectation that the minor understands the purpose and consequences of their consent to disclose or share their information.
Proxy: An individual can consent to share the information on behalf of the selected respondent. The individual is asked to confirm that they have consulted with the respondent. This type of consent is rarely used. The Census of Population used this type of consent for the disclosure of Census information to LAC, 92 years after the collection.
Use Data matching: Respondents are always informed that their information may be linked to other information. Data matching or linking is a statistical technique and is considered a consistent use of the information.

b. Access, correction and complaint

The Chief Privacy Officer is also the Privacy Coordinator for Statistics Canada, who is responsible for providing access to one's own personal information. The access can only be denied in limited cases, in accordance with the Privacy Act.

The Privacy Coordinator ensures that personal information is described in personal information banks as required by the Privacy Act, which are published in "Information about Programs and Information Holdings" (formally known as Info Source). If a request for a correction to personal information is submitted to its office, the Privacy Coordinator will request the correction in the case of non-statistical programs. In the case of statistical programs, the information does not require to be corrected as it is not used for administrative purposes and such correction is not always operationally feasible.

The Chief Privacy Officer is responsible for addressing concerns or complaints from employees or the public about the management of their personal information. In some instances, the CPO will undertake an investigation of internal processes to determine if there is a breach of privacy and to ensure compliance to the Privacy Act. Incident reports are prepared, and the Chief Security Officer approves the breach report and the recommendations, based on recommendations of the CPO. If it is a material breach, Treasury Board Secretariat and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner are notified as well as the individual whose information was breached, in accordance with the Information and Privacy Breach Protocol. If the complainant is not satisfied with the results of the investigation, they may submit a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. In the event of a non-material breach, the individual may be notified if the CPO and CSO deem it necessary. If the individual is notified, Treasury Board Secretariat and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner will also be notified as to inform them in the event of a complaint.

In regards to personal information collected under the Statistics Act, access to personal information is limited to employees that have a need to know. The Directive on the Security of Sensitive Statistical Information assigns the responsibility to directors of statistical programs to ensure the appropriate use, access and disclosure of the information. Statistics Canada has developed corporate systems to support the access control to the information.

Access to the information may also be allowed to researchers under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees who provide statistical services to Statistics Canada. These researchers must take the oath of confidentiality as per the Statistics Act and are subject to the same penalties as all Statistics Canada employees. The access to the information is limited to that required for their work, they must have a reliability security clearance, confirm that they do not have conflict of interest, and in some cases submit a project proposal. The information remains in the control of Statistics Canada at all times.

c. Security

To ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal information under the control of Statistics Canada, many physical, IT and Information Management measures have been put in place to mitigate the risks to personal information.

The security of information is the responsibility of the Chief Security Officer, the Chief Privacy Officer and the Chief Information Officer. Any security issues that cannot be addressed by them are brought to the Security Coordination Committee to make an evaluation of the risk and determine if the issue should be brought up to the Chief Statistician.

The measures are made available to employees in the Security Practices Manual as well as in the directives on the transmission of protected information, management of statistical microdata files, and network use policy.

The following are examples of security measures to protect personal information:

  1. Access control gates and security guards
  2. Security screening of all employees
  3. Network Use Policy
  4. Building pass for employees and visitors
  5. Encryption of emails containing protected information (including personal information)
  6. Prohibition to use USB keys unless expressly authorized
  7. Storage of protected information on a closed network
  8. Access control to electronic files
  9. Password requirements for access to networks

Statistics Canada's Integrated Security Awareness Group is responsible for coordinating all security related activities that take place in the agency. This group ensures that activities are corporate-wide and responsive to the security needs for Statistics Canada. Also part of its terms of reference is the yearly participation in the Government of Canada Security Awareness Week. During this week, many activities take place to remind employees of their obligations to protect the information held by Statistics Canada.

d. Privacy impact assessments

In support of the Privacy Act, a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is an evaluation process which allows those involved in the collection, use or disclosure of personal information to assess and evaluate privacy, confidentiality and security risks associated with these activities, and to develop measures intended to mitigate or eliminate identified risks.

Statistics Canada developed the Directive on Conducting Privacy Impact Assessments with the expected result that a PIA will be conducted when any new or significantly redesigned collection, use or disclosure of personal information raises privacy, confidentiality or data security risks. As Statistics Canada undertakes multiple collections of personal information, follows a pre-determined process and uses similar tools, it developed a generic PIA that addresses the standard statistical activities that involve personal information. Any new processes would be addressed in a specific PIA, or a supplement or update to the generic PIA.

Although Statistics Canada is not required to conduct a PIA as the information is used for non-administrative purposes, it was determined that a PIA would demonstrate due diligence and good stewardship of personal information and identify potential risks.

In the context of data acquisition, the existence of a corporate PIA has facilitated the negotiation to satisfy the data provider that privacy risks have been identified and addressed. Supplements to the generic PIA are also developed for most administrative data acquisitions that involve personal information.

PIAs are reviewed by the statistical programs, the Chief Privacy Officer as well as other specialists, as required, and must be submitted to the Chief Statistician for approval. The collection, use or disclosure cannot take place until the PIA is approved by the Chief Statistician. The approved PIA is submitted to TBS and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner who may provide recommendations.

e. Incident management

Statistics Canada developed an information and privacy breach protocol describing the procedures to be followed for breaches of information and privacy at Statistics Canada.

The protocol defines when a privacy breach occurs as well as the steps to take to address the breach. It takes into account the following 4 steps to address a breach:

  1. Breach containment
  2. Evaluation of risks associated with the breach
  3. Notification and reporting
  4. Prevention of future breaches

Statistics Canada developed an incident reporting system and form to collect consistent and complete information about breaches. The incident is immediately reported to the CPO and CSO, with a report submitted shortly thereafter, by the responsible manager, to a breach notification mailbox and is quickly reviewed and evaluated by the CPO. The form covers the type of data breached, a chronology of the events, the risk assessment, the problem resolution, recommendations and action items.

These incident reports are reviewed by the CPO and the CSO and then submitted to the director of the division to implement the recommendations to prevent future breaches. On a quarterly basis, breaches are reported to the Security Coordination Committee to identify and address systemic breaches.

f. Oath

The protection of personal information is the focus of the oath that employees and deemed employees must take when accessing confidential information at Statistics Canada. In addition, public service employees must take the oath of public service that they will faithfully and honestly fulfil their duties and will not, without authority, disclose or make known any matter that comes to them by reason of this employment. They must also adhere to a code of conduct which includes the respect of legislation and policies.

The Statistics Act imposes an obligation of confidentiality on employees working for Statistics Canada and who have access to information collected under the authority of the Statistics Act. They are obligated to take an oath of secrecy which means that they attest that they will respect the confidentiality of the information. The oath is administered by an individual with delegated authority and with sufficient knowledge to explain the importance of the confidentiality promise. The Act imposes penalties to those that contravene the oath and is valid for a lifetime. Should the employee breach the information, they could be subject to a fine or imprisonment as per the provision of the legislation.

g. Agreements

Information Sharing Agreements

Statistics Canada undertakes information sharing with organizations, governments or business where the Statistics Act permits the sharing of information. Such sharing requires the consent of the individual to share their personal information and an agreement stating the terms and conditions for the sharing. The adoption by Statistics Canada of an information sharing standard has ensured a consistent level of protection of personal information. All information sharing agreements contain the following clauses to ensure a comprehensive and standardized approach to protect the information.

  • Scope of the information
  • Confidentiality of the information
  • Use of the information
  • Access to the information
  • Notification of breach
  • Audits
  • Termination

The exception to the requirement to have a respondent's consent is when there is an information sharing agreement with a provincial or territorial statistical agency that has legal authority to compel the collection of that same information, has a legislation that requires to maintain the confidentiality of the information and has penalties for wrongful disclosure or another department with a legislation with the power to compel response.

Information Acquisition

Statistics Canada also has the authority to collect personal information from other organizations, business or governments. As such, it has created standardized agreements when acquiring such data. As the data is provided to Statistics Canada by another organization, Statistics Canada cannot impose the use of its standardized agreement, and the data provider may request to use its own agreement. In all instances of data acquisition, Statistics Canada must have a written exchange to document the acquisition and demonstrate its authority to collect. All acquisition agreements contain the following clauses to ensure a comprehensive and standardized approach.

  • Scope of the information
  • Transmission of the information
  • Confidentiality and protection of the information
  • Use of the information
  • Disclosure of the information
  • Notification of breach
  • Monitoring and compliance
  • Termination

h. Audit/Review

  • Statistics Canada's Internal Audit Division is responsible for conducting audits and reviews that may include compliance with the Privacy Act. It has completed audits on the information sharing agreements with external stakeholders. The report, including a summary of the action plan, is available to the public.
  • The elements in this privacy framework are reviewed, on a need basis, to ensure its robustness.

7. Education and awareness

Statistics Canada undertakes a variety of activities to ensure that employees are aware and understand their responsibilities and obligations when collecting, using or disclosing personal information. These activities are reviewed regularly to ensure that the information remains up-to-date, interesting and relevant to employees.

Here is a list of activities that Statistics Canada undertakes regularly, the objective of the activity, the scope of the activity as well as the privacy principles that it will address.

Statistics Canada's Privacy Framework: Preface

Statistics Canada's Privacy Framework (SCPF) is founded on the requirements of the Statistics Act and the Privacy Act. From these general legal requirements, a number of operational policies, directives and protocols are derived. These are predicated on specific organizational privacy issues, such as the role of consent, and pertain to particular aspects of Statistics Canada's operations.

Statistics Canada has as its mandate "to collect, compile, analyse, abstract and publish statistical information relating to commercial, industrial, financial, social, economic and general activities and condition of the people."Footnote 1 As a result of this unique mandate, Statistics Canada acquires large amounts of data that require additional vigilance in safeguarding the privacy and security of a person's or an organisation's confidential information. Statistics Canada has implemented policies and practices that enable Statistics Canada to keep Canadian's information confidential (unless conditions are met to disclose the information) and uphold the reputation of Statistics Canada.

In order to uphold Statistics Canada's obligation to maintain respondent confidentiality under subsection 17(1) of the Statistics Act and Statistics Canada's reputation for maintaining that confidentiality, the organisational framework for privacy is critical to ensure that every aspect of the organisation is protected under its umbrella. Statistics Canada's organisational responsibilities for privacy and security lie with the Departmental Privacy Officer (DPO) who is also the Privacy Coordinator at Statistics Canada and the Departmental Security Officer (DSO). The DPO is responsible for providing leadership on matters related to privacy to the various divisions within Statistics Canada to ensure that privacy is considered for all business decisions. The DSO is responsible for the development and administration of the security program at Statistics Canada and is the chair of the Security Coordination Committee at Statistics Canada.

Under the privacy and security umbrella, several operational areas have policies and protocols specific for their programs' needs. For example, Information Technology (IT) has implemented a Network Use Policy, an IT Security Policy, a Password Directive, and a practice regarding the use of USB keys to ensure continued privacy and security in the IT sphere in an increasingly digital world.

At the core of the requirements to maintain confidentiality within the Statistic Act, is the Oath of secrecy which all employees are required to take upon employment. The Oath of secrecy requires all employees to respect the confidentiality of all information received from respondents.Footnote 2 In addition to the Oath of secrecy, the organisation has implemented a policy that limits access to personal information to only those employees who have a need to know.

To ensure that all employees are aware of the comprehensive nature of the privacy and security practices and protocols, Statistics Canada engages in education and training programs for all employees. All new employees are required to participate in mandatory training on confidentiality and privacy. As well, Statistics Canada is an active participant in the Government of Canada's Security of Awareness Week.

None of the privacy and security initiatives at Statistics Canada are the responsibility of a single person or division. There is overlap among all privacy and security policies, directives and practices. The various operational areas consider privacy and security elements from different angles which forms an umbrella of privacy and security which is both comprehensive and sensitive to specific risks. In this way, privacy and security are not just top-down mandates at Statistics Canada: they are organization wide, operating unit specific and employee invested imperatives.

Reporting instructions

When answering the questions, please include as of the reference day:

  • All livestock (cattle or calves, pigs, and/or sheep or lambs) on your operation regardless of ownership, including livestock custom fed, fed under contract for others, and livestock pastured.
  • All livestock owned by the operator and held on Crown land, community pastures, and grazing projects.
  • Please do not report livestock (cattle or calves, pigs, and/or sheep or lambs) which are owned by you but kept on a farm, ranch or feedlot operated by someone else.

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.

Livestock: inclusions and exclusions

Include all livestock on your operation as of the reference day, regardless of ownership, including livestock pastured, custom fed or fed under contract for others.

Include all livestock owned by the operator and held on Crown land, community pastures and grazing projects.

Exclude livestock which are owned by you but kept on a farm, ranch, or feedlot operated by someone else.

Community pastures, grazing associations, Crown land: a community pasture or grazing reserve can be a federal, provincial or municipal land operated by a manager and rented to livestock producers for pasturing animals at a fixed fee per head. A co-operative grazing association is a group of people who usually incorporate and rent or lease land for a common grazing area.

Note: forest reserves fall under the category of grazing reserve. Crown land is land owned by the government (municipal, provincial or federal) and generally managed by the government. Crown land does not necessarily have to be used for the purpose of grazing livestock, although grazing does take place on Crown land, particularly in British Columbia.

Fed under contract / custom feeding: livestock are fed under a pre-arranged agreement with a company (for example feed mill) or another producer to feed the cattle or hogs to market weight. Usually the "feed" operator owns the buildings and supplies the labour but does not own the livestock.

Feedlot (cattle): feedlots are operations where livestock are fattened for market. A feedlot operation may own the animals, or may feed them for other operators for a fee, or both.
Note: feedlots are more applicable to cattle.

Feeding and finishing operations (pigs): feeding and finishing operations are applicable to pigs. Hog feeding and finishing operations are operations in which hogs are fed to market weight. Usually there are no breeding sows or boars in these operations other than those culled from a breeding herd, being fattened for slaughter.

Slaughtered for own consumption: if there are any livestock (cattle, hogs, or sheep) which will be slaughtered for personal consumption, include that livestock in inventory counts. For example if a dairy operator has one pig which will be slaughtered for personal consumption, include this pig in inventory counts.

Cattle and calves

Bulls: male cattle which have not been castrated, 1 year and over, which are or will be kept for breeding purposes or for slaughter.

Calves: cattle of either sex, under 1 year old.

Calving: a term used when referring to cattle, meaning to give birth.

Cow: female cattle which have calved at least once, being used for the production of dairy or for the reproduction of beef calves. Include "first calf heifers".

Heifers: female cattle over 1 year old which have never calved, used (or to be used) for breeding or fed for slaughter.

Steers: castrated male cattle, 1 year and over, being fed for slaughter.

Pigs

Boars: non-castrated male pigs, 6 months and older, used or to be used (or sold) for breeding purposes.

Bred gilts: female pigs which have never farrowed but which have been bred; they are intended for breeding purposes.

Farrowing: term used when referring to pigs, meaning "to give birth".

Feeders: market pigs that are 50 to 119 lb (23 to 53 kg) or 120 to 179 lb (54 to 81 kg).
Note: sometimes referred to as grower pigs.

Finishers: market pigs over 179 lb (81 kg) which are being fed for slaughter.

Gilts: female pigs which have never farrowed and are intended for breeding. Gilts intended for breeding may or may not be bred.
Note: gilts are younger than bred gilts.

Hog: a general term used to describe any type of pig.

Market pigs: consists of 'feeders (growers)' and 'finishers' which are over 50 lb (23 kg). The general term 'market pigs' is to differentiate from pigs for breeding.

Piglet: a general term used to describe a new born pig.

Slaughter hogs: pigs which are approximately 220 to 240 lb (100 to 110 kg) and are ready to be sold or slaughtered.

Sows: female pigs which have farrowed at least once.

Stillborn: born dead.

Suckling pigs: young pigs under 15 lb (7 kg), which have not been weaned.

Weaners, Weanling, Nursery or Starter: pigs of either sex, 15 to 49 lb (7 to 22 kg), which have recently been weaned.

Weaning: switching a young animal from mother's milk to another source of food.

Pigs - Farrowings

Total number of farrowings: this question is asking to report the total number of farrowings in the last 6 months. If a sow farrowed two times in the last 6 months this would be reported as two farrowings.

Average number of piglets born per litter: this question is asking to report the average number of piglets born per litter during the last 6 months. Some respondents interpret this to mean how many total piglets were born during the last six months. The data we are looking for is the average number of piglets born per sow. For example: If a respondent has 100 sows and each sow has 10 piglets born per litter. The correct response would be on average 10 piglets born per litter. Include piglets born alive and stillborn.

Total piglets born: this question is asking to report the total number of piglets born in the last 6 months. Total number of farrowings in the last 6 months multiplied by average number of piglets born per litter equals the total piglets born in the last 6 months. If the respondent is not able to report the total number of farrowings or average number of piglets born, the respondent should report the total number of piglets born in the last 6 months. Include piglets born alive and stillborn.

Sheep and lambs

Rams: non-castrated male sheep kept for breeding.

Ewes: female sheep kept for breeding.

Replacement lambs: replacement lambs are lambs that are being kept for breeding purposes. Include lambs born on the operation and lambs purchased from other sources. Also include lambs born and still located on the operation that will eventually be sold to other farms for breeding purposes.

Market lambs: market lambs are male or female lambs that are raised with the intent for slaughter.

Thank you for your participation.

I. Introduction

A. Description

The Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs (TLAC) survey collects data for full-time students at Canadian degree-granting institutions that are publicly funded. The survey was developed to provide an overview of tuition and additional compulsory fees, and living accommodation costs that students can expect to pay for an academic year.

TLAC survey data:

  • provides stakeholders, the public and students with annual tuition costs and changes in tuition fees from the previous year
  • contributes to a better understanding of the costs to obtain a degree
  • contributes to education policy development
  • contributes to the Consumer Price Index
  • facilitates interprovincial comparisons
  • facilitates comparisons between institutions

B. Reference period

2018/2019 academic year

C. Population

The target population is all publicly funded degree-granting institutions (universities and colleges) in Canada.

The survey target population includes institutions that have degree-granting status for the academic year 2018/2019. Institutions that do not have degree-granting status are excluded even if they provide portions of programs that lead to a degree granted by another institution. The survey is limited to institutions whose operations are primarily funded by provincial governments. Institutions that do not receive grants from Education ministries or departments, and institutions that receive grants only from Health ministries and departments are excluded.

D. Fields of study

The field of study classification for both undergraduate and graduate programs are adapted from the 2011 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), Statistics Canada's standard for field of study classification. The CIP's structure comprises several groupings developed jointly by Statistics Canada and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the USA.

General

Tuition fee tables disseminated by Statistics Canada are based on an academic year for full-time students with a full course load in degree programs, regardless of the number of credits.

Tuition should be reported based on the academic year (8 months) or semester (4 months) regardless of the number of credits. If it is not possible to provide tuition data for a semester or academic year, tuition should be reported per credit.

Final fees should be reported. If they have not yet been determined, report an estimate and check the box on the questionnaire to state that these are estimated fees for 2018/2019.

Part A: Tuition fees for full-time students

How to Report Tuition Fees:

  1. Verify and update the previous year data (2017/2018) on each page if required.
  2. Undergraduate Law page 2, only professional designations for Law (LLB, JD, BCL), from a Faculty of Law should be reported in this grouping.
  3. Graduate Lawpage 3,only professional Law degrees from a Faculty of Law (post-LLB/JD), should be reported in this grouping.
  4. Page 2 and page 3, Tuition for legal studies degree programs (non-professional law degrees) should be reported under "Social and Behavioural Sciences, and Legal Studies". See Appendix A.
  5. Only Medicine (MD) program should be reported under undergraduate
    Medicine. See appendix A and page 2 of the questionnaire.
  6. Update: Personal, Protective and Transportation Services includes:
    • 43.0103 Criminal justice/law enforcement administration
    • 43.0104 Criminal justice/safety studies
    • 43.0106 Forensic science and technology
    • 43.0107 Criminal justice/police science
  7. When reporting "Tuition fees for full-time students" in part A, report the cost of tuition for degrees granted by your institution meaning that students start and complete their degree at your institution. DO NOT include associate degrees, diplomas and certificates.
  8. Report additional compulsory fees for materials or equipment on pages 4 (undergraduate) and 5 (graduate).
  9. NEW degree programs must be specified in the Comments section at the bottom of page 2 (undergraduate) and page 3 (graduate).
  10. Quebec and Nova-Scotia: Lower fees represent Canadian students that have a permanent address in the province (in-province students) and the Upper fees represent Canadian students with an out-of-province permanent address.
  11. Report fees with decimals, NO commas. Example $2415.45
  12. Academic year (8 months): When tuition is reported based on the academic year, report the full cost of the program regardless of the number of credits.
  13. Semester: When tuition is reported based on semester, report the full cost of the semester regardless of the number of credits. Semester fees will be multiplied by two to calculate tuition for the academic year (8 months).
  14. Per Credit: Only report per credit if you cannot report based on semester or academic year regardless of the number of credits. We assume 30 credits as the minimum number of credits to calculate academic year fees. Therefore, when reporting based on per credit, tuition will be multiplied by 30 credits.

Part B: ;Additional Compulsory fees for full-time Canadian Students

How to Report Additional Compulsory Fees:

  1. In part B of the questionnaire, report additional compulsory fees for full-time Canadian students in the first row of the table where these fees do not vary according to their field of study for all full-time undergraduate students (page 4) and graduate students (page 5)

    Important note: "Partial" compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Planfees that students can be opt out of with proof of comparable coverage should not be included in the compulsory fees. Please include this information in the comments section.

  2. Please note that we have eliminated the section 'additional compulsory fees by program' on page 4 (undergraduate) and page 5 (graduate). We removed this section because the data were not always consistent or complete.

Part C: Living accommodation costs at residences/housing

Accommodation costs should be reported wherever possible. If it is not possible to separate the room and the meal plan costs for single students only a total should be reported.

III. Definitions

Tuition Fees

Tuition that is charged to a full-time student with a full course load, regardless of the number credits.

Additional Compulsory fees

Additional compulsory fees collected by the TLAC survey are those that all students must pay regardless of the field of study (TLAC grouping).

Fees that cover a range of services that varies from university to university, year to year, and even faculty to faculty or school to school within the same university. They include general fees (admission, registration, examination, internship, etc.), technology fees, student services fees, student association fees, contributions to student activities, copyright fees, premiums for compulsory insurance plans, fees for athletics and recreational activities, and various other fees (transcript, degree, laboratory, uniform, etc.).

One example of a compulsory fee that does not apply to every student is Laboratory Fees that are charged for classes with labs which is the cost of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student. This fee should be reported under 'Other'.

Exclude 'partial' compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented.

Athletics fees

Mandatory fees that support intercollegiate athletics, they cover athletics facilities and campus recreational activities (intramurals, fitness and recreation courses, etc.)

Health Services fees

Mandatory fees support the on-campus clinic facilities providing services of doctors and nurses.

Reminder: "Partial" compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented should not be included in the compulsory fees but only indicated in the comments section.

Student Association fee

Mandatory fees support the general operating expenses of the association.

Other fees (Part B)

If compulsory fees are reported in "Other please specify" you must provide further details on the types of fees reported. Also, please indicate if the compulsory fee is determined by the institution's administration (e.g., a department of the institution such as the finance department or others) or by other groups independent of the institution (e.g., a group that is not influenced or directed by the university administration).

IV. Suggestions

Statistics Canada would welcome any suggestions for changes in the survey which you may wish to propose.

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
  • Establishing government programs to assist businesses
  • Assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
  • Supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
  • Indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
  • Enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

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

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

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

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

Confidentiality

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

Record linkages

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

Data-sharing agreements

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

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

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the 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, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Obtaining information on the supply of, and/or demand for, energy in Canada
  • Enabling governmental agencies to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities in regards to public utilities
  • Enabling all levels of government to establish informed policies in the energy area
  • Assisting the business community in the corporate decision-making process.

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 respondent burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

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

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

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the 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, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada

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

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

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

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