Consultation objectives

In December 2010, Communications and Information Services Program sought feedback from external users on its services, including overall satisfaction with the services and client success in completing specific tasks. The consultation was part of an overall evaluation of seven key services provided by the program.

Consultation methodology

Potential respondents were selected from lists of recent users of the services. Of 1,065 users invited to participate, 349 (32.8%) responded to the survey.

How to get involved

This consultation is now closed.

Individuals who wish to obtain more information or to take part in a consultation should contact Statistics Canada through the Statistical Information Service.

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

Results

Respondents were very satisfied with telephone services, services provided by staff, CANSIM and HelpLine Support. E-STAT and the Copyright Administration Service were rated as satisfactory as well.

Respondents were satisfied with the electronic enquiries service and Publications Distributors’ Relations. In the comments section, respondents raised a number of questions concerning the National Contact Centre (NCC);  however, most of these questions are outside NCC control, such as the availability, timeliness and cost of data, the format of some outputs and the content of the free portion of the website.

Electronic enquiries services received lower ratings than telephone services.  The lower ratings may reflect the fact that while electronic requests are typically more detailed and complex than telephone ones, respondents expect the same fast and complete service from both services. For electronic services, timeliness and overall satisfaction were deemed satisfactory with an average satisfaction rate at slightly below 80% and an overall success rate of 67%.

Recommendations

Key recommendations were:

  • Maintain NCC staff training to ensure a consistently high level of client service
  • Clarify and simplify processes and rules regarding copyright, licensing and pricing
  • Enhance E-STAT to be more user friendly, including the search engine and lesson plans
  • Improve the search engine for the overall website

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

Consultation objectives

This evaluation was designed to assess the ability of the Distributive Trades Division and the Industry Services Division to meet the needs and priorities of their external and internal clients. The feedback will be used by the divisions to improve their programs, products and services.

Consultation methodology

As both divisions share many of the same clients, a joint Industry Statistics Program questionnaire was created.

The questionnaire was designed to obtain:

  • program satisfaction and importance ratings
  • suggestions for improvements
  • input on unmet information needs

How to get involved

This consultation is now closed.

Individuals who wish to obtain more information or to take part in a consultation should contact Statistics Canada through the Statistical Information Service.

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

Results

Clients were very satisfied with retail trade financial information, retail trade by commodity, wholesale trade, and new motor vehicle sales statistics. They also expressed satisfaction with business consumer, property services, consumer service statistics, and culture and publishing statistics.

Overall, participants agreed that the statistics provided by the Industry Statistics Program helped them to understand trends and issues and to make informed decisions.

It is recommended that both divisions work toward improving the timeliness of the data being released, the level of detail provided, and the ease of use of the information. Other recommendations include improving data accessibility/retrieval and lowering the costs associated with it.

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

Potato Area and Yield Survey - June

General Information

This information is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19. Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under this act.

Survey purpose

The purpose of this survey is to obtain information to produce national and provincial level estimates of potato production. These estimates will be used by producer organizations, government departments and others. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Confidentiality

Your answers are confidential.

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

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Fax or e-mail transmission disclosure

Statistics Canada advises you that there could be a risk of disclosure during the transmission of information by facsimile or e-mail. However, upon receipt, Statistics Canada will provide the guaranteed level of protection afforded all information collected under the authority of the Statistics Act.

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 statistical agencies of New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta.

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

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

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agency of Prince Edward Island as well as with the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Lands.
