Summary

The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) program at Statistics Canada is mandated to provide accurate, timely and relevant information to the justice community and the public on the nature and extent of crime and on the administration of criminal and civil justice in Canada.

The Evaluation and Professional Practices Division of Statistics Canada's Audit and Evaluation Branch conducted an independent evaluation of the CCJS program. The evaluation was designed and conducted in accordance with the Treasury Board of Canada's Policy on Evaluation (2009) and the related directives and standards.

According to the evaluation, the CCJS program responds to the continued need for criminal justice information. The program is often called upon by Senate and House of Commons committees to present information on justice and public safety to advance the work of government and the CCJS's activities are aligned with the government's most pressing needs and priorities for criminal justice and crime information.

The evaluation findings confirm that CCJS statistical information is accurate, interpretable, accessible, relevant and generally released according to established schedules.

The evaluation proposed two recommendations to improve the CCJS program.

Recommendation 1:

Performance (timeliness)

While the evaluation found that the CCJS program delivers high-quality statistical data that are generally timely, the relevance of justice statistics could be increased by providing earlier indications of justice information changes or trends to facilitate program and policy decisions.

Recognizing that a complete analysis of justice statistics requires time to produce accurate results and that the production of justice statistical data occurs in a context of shared responsibilities, it is recommended that the CCJS explore with partners the possibility of producing more timely indicators in key selected areas to provide earlier indications of issues and trends.

Management response

CCJS management agrees with the statement with respect to hate crime.

The repeated requests from central agencies to get more data on hate crime since the beginning of the year, combined with the recent release on June 13, 2015, of hate crime data, have brought public attention to the need to produce more timely indicators of hate crime. The CCJS recognizes this need. The CCJS has addressed the issue with police forces to sensitize them to the need to devote resources to the certification and sign-off of hate crime data to improve the timeliness of hate crime data production.

This issue was brought to the attention of the members of the Police Information and Statistics Committee (POLIS) at their last meeting on April 5, 2017, and to the attention of the Liaison Officers Committee Federal/ Provincial/Territorial members (LOC FPT) at the last Liaison Officers Committee of the National Justice Statistics Initiative (LOCNJSI) meeting on May 17 and 18.

The matter of producing more timely indicators has been raised only for hate crime thus far. The timeliness of other indicators pertaining to other areas of the criminal justice system has never been officially raised. Other indicators are generally produced in a period of less than a year, which compares favourably with other social statistics programs based on administrative data.

Recommendation 2:

Currently, academia is not part of the formal governance of the CCJS program. Researchers are informed about CCJS data in Research Data Centres (RDCs) through notifications from RDCs sent to distribution lists at local universities. It is unclear to what extent that information is communicated effectively to targeted faculty and students. Academic researchers are key CCJS data users whose needs are not fully considered given their limited participation in decision making.

Recognizing the value added of the contribution of researchers to CCJS analytical products, it is recommended that the CCJS program

  • establish an appropriate mechanism through which academia can be part of formal consultations
  • explore communication alternatives to ensure the awareness of CCJS data among the research/academia community.

Management response

The CCJS agrees to increase the involvement of academics in some areas of data development. It should be noted that academics are considered and consulted in the redesign phase of various surveys. Some of the proposed activities are already in motion.

Gender and sex at birth variables

The additions of gender identity and gender expression in the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code, as well as some sources of administrative data changing from sex to gender, necessitated distinguishing the concepts of gender and sex within the National Statistical System. Statistics Canada has revised the variables 'gender of person' and 'sex at birth of person' for the 2021 Census of Population.

Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey 2018 – Questions and answers for all survey recipients

1. What is the Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey?

The Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey is a public-service-wide survey to be conducted on behalf of the Public Service Commission of Canada every 2 years. It is a partial replacement for the old Survey of Staffing which was collected from 2009 to 2014 and is one of several means for gathering information to support the Public Service Commission of Canada's mandate. This is the first cycle of the survey.

2. What are the main objectives of the survey?

The Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey has two objectives:

  • To obtain information on employees' perceptions of staffing conducted in organizations under the Public Service Employment Act.
  • To obtain information on employees' understanding of their rights and responsibilities regarding political activities and non-partisanship.

The information gathered will be used to identify current and emerging issues at organizational and government-wide levels, to inform improvements to staffing policies and practices and to support efforts to safeguard non-partisanship within the federal public service.

3. What is the difference between this and the old Survey of Staffing?

The Public Service Commission of Canada used the Survey of Staffing to gather staffing information until early 2014. The Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey continues with some aspects covered in the Survey of Staffing but focuses more on general perceptions than the specifics of a single identified process. Information about specific processes and your experiences as a candidate or hiring manager will be gathered via other surveys.

4. Who administers the survey?

On behalf of the Public Service Commission of Canada, Statistics Canada will conduct the survey and will send email invitations to employees working in organizations subject to the Public Service Employment Act. Because the survey is conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, the confidentiality provisions apply to all information provided by survey respondents.

5. What kind of questions are asked?

The survey collects information on staffing practices within organizations under the Public Service Employment Act from the perspectives of managers, staffing advisors and employees. The survey also collects information on political activities.

6. What sorts of subjects will be covered?

The survey addresses three main themes: Organizational staffing practices, staffing policies and the political non-partisanship of the public service.

7. Why are there questions about non-partisanship and political impartiality?

Part of the Public Service Employment Act mandates the Public Service Commission of Canada to oversee and ensure the political neutrality of the public service. This survey provides the only available source of information regarding the political impartiality of the public service. The questions on this general topic cover several areas, including public servants' knowledge of their rights and responsibilities, how much their organization keeps them informed and general attitudes among staff.

We want to reassure you that all information provided to Statistics Canada through this survey is protected by law under the Statistics Act.
For more information about the mandate of the Public Service Commission of Canada regarding political activities, please visit the Public Service Commission of Canada website.

8. Who is being surveyed?

The survey is sent to all employees in the Core Public Administration. Those working for separate organizations (Canada Revenue Agency, for example) do not receive the survey. Civilians working for the Department of National Defence and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), as well as Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP members who supervise public servants under the Public Service Employment Act will also receive the survey. There are three general clusters of questions, each directed at different groups of employees. Some components are directed specifically at hiring managers, others at staffing advisors and a set of questions is directed at all employees.

9. How many people will receive this survey?

The survey is sent to all public servants working in federal organizations that fall under the Public Service Employment Act. It is a "census," so all employees in these organizations will receive an invitation and a unique link to the survey site. It is also sent to some members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Armed Forces who may not be public servants themselves, but have been identified by their respective organizations as supervising public servants.

10. Is this the only information being gathered about staffing?

Other surveys are planned for gathering more detailed information about candidates' and managers' experiences with individual staffing processes.

11. When will the survey take place?

Data collection will take place from February 22 to April 20, 2018. Completed questionnaires must be sent to Statistics Canada by April 20, 2018.

12. Is completing this survey required?

Your participation in this survey is important for safeguarding the integrity of staffing within the Federal public service and improving staffing practices within your organization. Even though your participation is voluntary, we encourage you to have your say in this survey.

13. How long does the survey take to complete?

The survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete for most people. Not all sections of the survey apply to everyone, so individual times will vary. In most cases, the questions are simple to answer, making progress through the survey quick. It does not have to be completed in one sitting; the link included in the survey invitation will allow you to break off from the survey and return to it at a later point if you can only spare a few minutes at a time.

14. Is the information I provide confidential?

Yes, Statistics Canada guarantees the confidentiality of the survey under the Statistics Act. To protect confidentiality, the following precautions will be followed:

  • Names of respondents will not be included on the analysis file that will be created and made available to the Public Service Commission of Canada.
  • Data released publically will be produced in tabular and graphical form at aggregate levels only (for example, organizational or public service-wide levels).
  • All outputs will be screened to ensure that they do not reveal the identity of individual respondents.

15. How will the confidentiality of my answers be protected for the electronic questionnaire?

The Statistics Canada Electronic Collection Portal provides detailed information about the security features in place to maintain confidentiality, as required by the Statistics Act.

16. What type of staffing processes does the survey examine?

The survey is primarily concerned with how people get appointed. This can be via any type of advertised process (including the use of pools) and many types of non-advertised processes that result in either an indeterminate or specified term appointment. It is not concerned with any short-term hiring such as student positions or persons hired through temporary agencies.

17. Can I report on processes still in progress?

Unless the question states otherwise, you should be reporting on staffing that concluded during the period of January 1 to December 31, 2017, regardless of when it began. The goal is for the survey results to best reflect those policies, practices and outcomes in place during the identified period.

18. The survey asks about "sharing my information" with the Public Service Commission of Canada. What does this mean?

There is an agreement in place between Statistics Canada and the Public Service Commission of Canada that limits the use of your information to statistical purposes only and prohibits the disclosure of survey information that could identify you. The protected information will be used for statistical purposes only and analyses at the organization and public-service-wide levels only. Your information will not be shared with the Public Service Commission of Canada if you do not give permission to do so.

19. I am temporarily working in another organization. Will my information be attributed to my home organization?

For the purpose of the survey, you are included in the organization where you were working at the time of the survey.

20. Are there any technical terms used in the survey?

We have tried to avoid using technical terms, but have included a glossary for all technical terms used throughout the survey. Terms that appear in boldface in the questionnaire can be found in the glossary that can be accessed through the help {?} button.

21. When will the survey results be available?

The data for this survey are expected to be released in the summer of 2018. More detailed analysis and reports are expected to be available later in 2018.

22. What if I need an adapted version of the survey?

In adherence to Treasury Board Secretariat's standards (which include Levels A and AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0), the inclusive single version of the 2018 Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey will provide an optimal experience for all respondents regardless of ability and is not dependent on a specific assistive technology. Those employees who may need an alternate version of the survey, such as being asked the questions over the telephone, are encouraged to contact their organization's human resources representative to arrange for an adapted version.

23. What if I run into technical difficulties while completing the survey?

If you have any technical questions or require assistance, you should access the online help pages, or contact Statistics Canada at the following email address at infostats@statcan.gc.ca or call the assistance line at 1-877-949-9492 (TTY: 1-855-382-7745).

24. What do you mean by a "hiring manager"?

The manager portion of the survey is directed towards anyone who could have staffed a position between January 1 and December 31, 2017. Sub-delegated staffing authority is not a requirement. "Hiring manager" can include a variety of position titles, in addition to manager or supervisor, that may be used in different organizations, such as director, associate director, chief or section head.

25. What do you mean by "staffing advisor"?

"Staffing advisor" means those individuals providing operational support and advice to hiring managers. This would generally not include persons involved in corporate human resources planning.

26. Can anyone complete the survey?

The link to the survey provided in the email invitation is unique to you. Therefore, email invitations should never be shared with other people. Only those who received an authorized link can access and complete it.

27. Can someone complete the survey more than once?

The link included in the survey invitation you receive will allow you to return to the survey, change any of your responses or continue where you left off. This can be done as many times as you like; however, once you submit your data, the link becomes invalid so that the survey can only be completed once.

Glossary

Account/Household Value Ranges
The market values of assets in accounts on which the fees were based, arranged in a series of ascending tiers.
Advisor Managed Account (discretionary)
An account similar to a fee-based brokerage account except that the Investment Advisor/Broker acts as the portfolio manager and has been given the discretionary authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the client rather than obtaining their approval to execute each transaction. Fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of the market value of assets. This survey excludes wraps or any third party managed accounts.
Asset-Class Based Pricing Model
A pricing model where the fee charged by Investment Advisors/Brokers is calculated based on both the types and market value of assets in accounts. This survey includes only Equity and Fixed Income pricing models.
Blended Pricing Model
A pricing model where the fee charged by Investment Advisors/Brokers is calculated based only on the market value of assets, regardless of the types of assets in accounts.
Canadian Exchange Listed Equities
Stocks that are listed on Canadian securities exchanges such as the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Equity Pricing Model
An Asset-Class Based pricing model that is used to calculate the Investment Advisor/Broker fees charged on Fee-Based Brokerage and Advisor Managed Accounts that contain Equity assets.
Fee-Based Brokerage Account (non-discretionary)

Asset-Class Based Pricing Model: a pricing model where the fee charged by Investment Advisors/Brokers is calculated based on both the types and market value of assets in the account or group of accounts (household). This survey only includes data for the Equity and Fixed Income pricing models.

Instructions:

For each Account/Household Value Range (A), report the Total Fees (B) earned for the calendar quarter and the corresponding Total Account/Household Values (C) on which the fees were based (billable portion of account assets).

The information collected in this quarterly survey will be used to produce a price index that measures the change in average prices charged for securities brokerage services in Canada. This pilot survey applies to registered Dealer/Broker firms in Canada that provide full-service brokerage services to retail clients.

The survey questionnaire is used to collect revenue and corresponding volume data on some of the full-service brokerage services provided to retail clients. The two main product types covered are transaction-based and fee-based accounts (fee-based brokerage and advisor managed).

Basis of Reporting

  1. Client Type and Business Segment
    Retail Full-Service Brokerage only (exclude Discount/online)
  2. Reporting Period
    Calendar Quarter (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, and Oct-Dec).
  3. Combined Canadian Operations
    Data should be reported for all Canadian subsidiaries. Exclude operations from any foreign subsidiaries.
  4. Currency
    All data should be reported in thousands of Canadian dollars.
  5. Accounting
    Please report on an accrual basis for fee-based accounts and on a cash basis for transaction-based accounts.
  6. Other
    Exclude any taxes collected for remittance to a government agency (GST/HST/QST).

Instructions

Section A: Transaction-Based Accounts: Canadian Exchange Listed Equities

An account in which Investment Advisors/Brokers charge clients a commission for every trade executed on their behalf. Commissions are usually charged based on a percentage of the market value of trades or a flat dollar amount.

Please report only for purchases and sales of Canadian exchange listed equities executed on behalf of retail full-service brokerage clients.

Exclude:

  • 'new issue' equities
  • Discount/Online transactions

Notes:

  1. New issues include all IPO / Primary market trades as well as secondary offerings.
  2. If an order has multiple or partial fills and a single fee or commission was charged, aggregate the fills as a single trade. In cases for which separate fees or commissions are charged for multiple fills on the same order, treat each charge as its own trade.
  3. Include transactions for fee-based brokerage accounts only in cases where clients are charged a commission for a trade that exceeded their trade allowance.
  4. Include the total market value of trades for trades that were executed for free.

Instructions:

For each Trade Value Range (A), please report the Total Commissions (B) earned in the calendar quarter and the corresponding Total Market Value of Trades (C) on which the commissions were based.

A) Trade Value Ranges: The market value of trades arranged in a series of ascending tiers.

B) Total Commissions: The sum of commissions earned in the calendar quarter for executing trade orders of Canadian exchange listed equities on behalf of retail full-service brokerage clients.

C) Total Market Value of Trades: The sum of the market values of trades that were executed during the calendar quarter.

Section B: Fee-Based Brokerage Accounts (non-discretionary)

An account similar to a transaction-based account except that clients are charged a fee typically based on a percentage of the market value of assets in the account or a flat annual fee rather than commissions on a per transaction basis. The account generally includes a trade allowance and the Investment Advisor/Broker is required to obtain the client's approval before executing securities transactions on their behalf (non-discretionary). Only use the pricing model (Blended or Asset-based, described below) that best matches the pricing method used.

Blended Pricing Model

A pricing model where the fee charged by Investment Advisors/Brokers is calculated based only on the market value of assets in the account, regardless of the types of assets in accounts. If accounts are grouped or householded together for the purposes of qualifying for preferential rates, list the total market value of all accounts in the household.

Examples:

  • The fee is charged as a flat dollar amount or calculated as an annual percentage rate based on the total market value of assets in the account or group of accounts (household).
  • The fee is calculated by applying different rates to incremental dollar portions of the total market value of assets in the account or group of accounts (household) which are then blended together to derive the fee.

Instructions:

For each Account/Household Value Range (A), please report the Total Fees (B) earned for the calendar quarter and the corresponding Total Account/Household Values (C) on which the fees were based.

A) Account/Household Value Ranges: The market value of assets in accounts on which the fees were based, arranged in a series of ascending tiers.

B) Total Fees: The sum of investment advisory/brokerage fees earned for the calendar quarter.
Excludes: taxes (GST, HST and QST) and administrative fees.

C) Total Account/Household Values: The sum of the market values of assets in accounts on which the fees were based (billable portion of account assets).

Asset-Class Based Pricing Model

A pricing model where the fee charged by Investment Advisors/Brokers is calculated based on both the types and market value of assets in the account. If accounts are grouped or householded together for the purposes of qualifying for preferential rates, list the total market value of all accounts in the household. Note: This survey only includes data for the Equity and Fixed Income pricing models.

Examples:

  • The asset types in the account or group of accounts (household) are analyzed and categorized as either Equity or Fixed Income based on a set proportion of total value. The fee is then calculated by applying the rate from the designated asset price list to the total market value.
  • The market value of the account or group of accounts (household) is separated by asset class and the value of each class is priced according to the separate asset price lists.

Instructions:

For each Account/Household Value Range (A), report the Total Fees (B) earned for the calendar quarter and the corresponding Total Account/Household Values (C) on which the fees were based.

A) Account/Household Value Ranges: The market value of assets in accounts on which the fees were based, arranged in a series of ascending tiers.

B) Total Fees: The sum of investment advisory/brokerage fees earned for the calendar quarter.
Excludes: taxes (GST, HST and QST) and administrative fees.

C) Total Account/Household Values: The sum of the market values of assets in accounts on which the fees were based (billable portion of account assets).

Section C: Advisor Managed Accounts (discretionary)

An account similar to a fee-based brokerage account except that the Investment Advisor/Broker acts as the portfolio manager and has been given the discretionary authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the client rather than obtaining their approval to execute each transaction. Fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of the market value of assets. Only use the pricing model (Blended or Asset-based, described below) that best matches the pricing method used. Note: this survey excludes wraps or any third party managed accounts.

Blended Pricing Model

A pricing model where the fee charged by Investment Advisors/Brokers is calculated based only on the market value of assets, regardless of the types of assets in accounts. If accounts are grouped or householded together for the purposes of qualifying for preferential rates, list the total market value of all accounts in the household.

Examples:

  • The fee is charged as a flat dollar amount or calculated as an annual percentage rate based on the total market value of assets in the account or group of accounts (household).
  • The fee is calculated by applying different rates to incremental dollar portions of the total market value of assets in the account or group of accounts (household) which are then blended together to derive the fee.

Instructions:

Statement outlining results, risks and significant changes in operations, personnel and program

A) Introduction

Statistics Canada's mandate

Statistics Canada ("the agency") is a member of the Innovation, Science and Economic Development portfolio.

Statistics Canada's role is to ensure that Canadians have access to a trusted source of statistics on Canada that meets their highest priority needs.

The agency's mandate derives primarily from the Statistics Act. The Act requires that the agency collects, compiles, analyzes and publishes statistical information on the economic, social, and general conditions of the country and its people. It also requires that Statistics Canada conduct the census of population and the census of agriculture every fifth year, and protects the confidentiality of the information with which it is entrusted.

Statistics Canada also has a mandate to co-ordinate and lead the national statistical system. The agency is considered a leader, among statistical agencies around the world, in co‑ordinating statistical activities to reduce duplication and reporting burden.

More information on Statistics Canada's mandate, roles, responsibilities and programs can be found in the 2017–2018 Main Estimates and in the Statistics Canada 2017–2018 Departmental Plan.

The quarterly financial report:

Statistics Canada has the authority to collect and spend revenue from other federal government departments and agencies, as well as from external clients, for statistical services and products.

Basis of presentation

This quarterly report has been prepared by management using an expenditure basis of accounting. The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes the agency's spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the agency consistent with the Main Estimates for the 2017–2018 fiscal year. This quarterly report has been prepared using a special purpose financial reporting framework designed to meet financial information needs with respect to the use of spending authorities.

The authority of Parliament is required before moneys can be spent by the Government. Approvals are given in the form of annually approved limits through appropriation acts or through legislation in the form of statutory spending authority for specific purposes.

The agency uses the full accrual method of accounting to prepare and present its annual departmental financial statements that are part of the departmental results reporting process. However, the spending authorities voted by Parliament remain on an expenditure basis.

B) Highlights of fiscal quarter and fiscal year-to-date results

This section highlights the significant items that contributed to the net decrease in resources available for the year, as well as actual expenditures for the quarter ended December 31.

Description for Chart 1: Comparison of gross budgetary authorities and expenditures as of December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017, in thousands of dollars

This bar graph shows Statistics Canada's budgetary authorities and expenditures, in thousands of dollars, as of December 31, 2016 and 2017:

  • As at December 31, 2016
    • Net budgetary authorities: $775,438
    • Vote netting authority: $120,000
    • Total authority: $895,438
    • Net expenditures for the period ending December 31: $563,811
    • Year-to-date revenues spent from vote netting authority for the period ending December 31: $52,285
    • Total expenditures: $616,096
  • As at December 31, 2017
    • Net budgetary authorities: $571,673
    • Vote netting authority: $120,000
    • Total authority: $691,673
    • Net expenditures for the period ending December 31: $412,612
    • Year-to-date revenues spent from vote netting authority for the period ending December 31: $56,552
    • Total expenditures: $469,164

Chart 1 outlines the gross budgetary authorities, which represent the resources available for use for the year as of December 31.

Significant changes to authorities

Total authorities available for 2017–2018 have decreased by $203.7 million, or 22.8%, from the previous year, from $895.4 million to $691.7 million (Chart 1). This net decrease was mostly the result of the following:

  • Decrease for the Census of Population program ($310.0 million), as well as for the Census of Agriculture program ($12.1 million) due to the cyclical nature of funding winding down in 2017–2018;
  • Increase for negotiated salary adjustments ($45.4 million);
  • Increase for the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement ($37.6 million);
  • Increase in the value of the carry forward by $15.7 million;
  • Increase for the implementation of new programs such as the Housing Statistics Framework (Canadian Housing Statistics Program) and the Measurement of Growth in International Visitors to Canada ($10.4 million).

In addition to the appropriations allocated to the agency through the Main Estimates, Statistics Canada also has vote net authority within Vote 1, which entitles the agency to spend revenues collected from other federal government departments, agencies, and external clients to provide statistical services. Vote netting authority is stable at $120 million in each of the fiscal years 2016–2017 and 2017–2018.

Significant changes to expenditures

Year-to-date net expenditures recorded to the end of the third quarter decreased by $151.2 million, or 26.8% from the previous year, from $563.8 million to $412.6 million (See Table A: Variation in Departmental Expenditures by Standard Object).

Most of the decrease in spending is due to the 2016 Census of Population program. Statistics Canada spent approximately 72.2% of its authorities by the end of the third quarter, compared with 72.7% in the same quarter of 2016–2017.

Note: Explanations are provided for variances of more than $1 million.

The 2016 Census of Population reached the peak of its cyclical expenditures in 2016–2017, spending in 2017–2018 drops sharply as activities wound down.

01) Personnel: The increase is mainly due to the retroactive salary payments of signed collective agreements and to the salary payments related to the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement. This increase is partly offset by the decrease in expenditures of public servants whom were hired in 2016–2017 to conduct census-related activities.

02) Transportation and communications: The decrease is mainly due to reduced costs in postage and travel in 2016–2017 for census related activities.

03) Information: The decrease is mainly due to the printing of census material and the implementation of the census media plan in 2016–2017.

04) Professional and special services: The decrease is mainly due to the end of census collection and processing activities, which employed approximately 35,000 temporary staff in 2016–2017.

05) Rentals: The decrease is mainly due to the closure of building space rented for the regional census offices during the census collection in 2016–2017 and to software licenses maintenance.

12) Other subsidies and payments: The increase is mainly due to the non-salary payments related to the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement.

Revenues: The increase is primarily the result of timing differences in the receipt of funds for scheduled key deliverables.

C) Risks and uncertainties

Statistics Canada uses a risk-based decision-making process to conduct its business. In order to do so effectively, the agency identifies key corporate risks and develops corresponding mitigation strategies within its Corporate Risk Profile on an annual basis. At this point in time, none of the agency's key corporate risks involve significant financial risks.

D) Significant changes to operations, personnel and programs

In 2017–2018, Statistics Canada will continue the processing and analysis of Census program data, and dissemination of the remaining major 2016 census data releases.

This year a total of six releases took place. For the Census of Population, five releases took place in May, August, September, October and November 2017. Regarding the Census of Agriculture, the release took place in May.

This contrasts with last year, when Statistics Canada focused on data collection and processing activities of the 2016 Census program.
