Why are we conducting this survey?

Statistics Canada is conducting the above-mentioned survey. The purpose of this survey is to measure the scope of Canadian businesses' activities related to the global supply, production and distribution chain. It collects information related to the purchase, production and sale of goods abroad by Canadian businesses. It also gathers information on whether Canadian businesses perform manufacturing or processing work for other Canadian or foreign clients, and whether Canadian businesses hire other Canadian or foreign firms to perform the same type of work.

This information is used to prepare Canada's Balance of International Payments statistics, which is a major input in the compilation of the Canadian Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The information you provide 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.

Securely combining data for better insights

With social movements for Indigenous rights, racial justice, and economic equality gaining momentum in Canada, there have been many national conversations about equity, diversity, and inclusion. Statistics Canada is answering the call of Canadians who are seeking detailed data to help address gender gaps, racism and other systemic barriers.

Through the Disaggregated Data Action Plan announced in Budget 2021, Statistics Canada is working with Canadians to produce better data for better decision-making.

This action plan seeks to combine data and then break them down into sub-categories according to gender, race, age, sexual orientation, disability (or a combination of these). This process will help to reveal uneven economic and social realities in Canada. For every Canadian to reach their full potential, we need to properly understand the circumstances in which people live and the barriers they face. We cannot improve what we cannot measure.

To provide more disaggregated data, Statistics Canada is exploring new secure ways to get the most out of the data that has already been collected - for instance, by securely combining its census and survey data with data already collected by other federal or provincial / territorial organizations. Data from other organizations are sometimes called “administrative data.”

By linking data in this way, we can reduce the burden on Canadians by reusing data they have already provided to the government. We can also improve the accuracy of the data and expand the range of results and insights they provide. Data linkages have been conducted at Statistics Canada for many years in accordance with Statistics Canada’s Directive on Microdata Linkage.

Statistics Canada’s new Secure Infrastructure for Data Integration (SIDI) - currently undergoing the consultation and construction phases  - is a set of methods, technologies and protocols that will enhance the way Statistics Canada combines its existing data with data from other organizations.

SIDI relies on strong privacy principles. Linked data files are scrubbed of all personal identifiers - such as individuals’ names, addresses, and social insurance numbers - immediately after data linkage and prior to the data being further analyzed and used.

All information collected through Statistics Canada’s censuses and surveys, as well as administrative data from third parties, is protected under the Statistics Act, the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. By law, no personal information collected by Statistics Canada is ever shared with any other agency or person, even those within the Government of Canada. Statistics Canada employees are, furthermore, sworn to secrecy and subject to fines and/or imprisonment should they unlawfully disclose confidential information.

By creating a safe environment to combine data, Statistics Canada is maximizing the information at its disposal, information which can help build a more equitable Canada by bringing fairness and inclusivity to decision-making.

4. 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.

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic

Includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US)

Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international

Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers1 who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

1 Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Number of passengers = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Passenger-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Number of passengers = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Tonnes of goods = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Tonnes of goods = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

Building an All-in-One Web Application for Data Science Using Python: An evaluation of the open-source tool Django

By: Nikhil Widhani, Statistics Canada

With the massive advancements in technology, many tools and techniques used in the data science community are slowly transitioning to open source. Open source tools are a no-cost solutions and the codebase can be modified to fit the needs of the user – providing them with flexibility and reducing costs. Proprietary tools typically get the work done efficiently, however, they can be costly and are still need to be adapted to the organization's needs. Proprietary tools also often lack customizability and sometimes only solve parts of a problem. For more complex problems, like building a collection of microservices for a variety of tasks, it may require the use of multiple proprietary tools simultaneously.

Since open source tools give the user full control over the codebase, they allow organizations to apply security patches to new threats and maintain privacy and data confidentiality. Many open-sourced projects can be combined to form a one-point solution to serve a larger requirement.

Consider a project that builds a secure pipeline for data ingestion. Separate modules for this process could include regularly fetching new ethically-sourced data, running responsible machine learning algorithms on a timely basis, and building a dashboard for data visualization. In this article, I'll explain the process of using a Django Web framework to create an AIO (all-in-one) production-ready web application that delivers information while protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the data it uses. This particular solution uses a dashboard for clients and an admin GUI (graphic user interface) for developers. The admin GUI can be used for running scheduled tasks at regular intervals to fetch new data, and to run a pipeline with the press of a button.

Django is an open-sourced web framework based on the Python programming language and is used by multinational corporations. Its core design supports flexibility, securityFootnote 1 and scalability. Apps built using Django can be reused for other projects without rewriting the code. At times, it's as simple as copying the code from one project to another. To build this type of web app, we'll use Django toolkits and plugins to develop a flexible architecture, while keeping scalability in mind.  The proposed architecture is illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Proposed architecture for building an AIO web app.

Figure 1: Proposed architecture for building an AIO web app
Description - Figure 1: Proposed architecture for building an AIO web app

Proposed architecture for building an AIO web app. The Database works with the Django Backend (which includes the REST API (application program interface), Pipeline, Redis Server and Task Scheduler) and then onward to the Frontend, as developed by its users or administrator. Each component in this diagram are explained below.

Components

The components of the architecture and their functions are the database, the backend, pipeline, task scheduler and REST API (application program interface). I'll elaborate on each of these components.

Database

A database collects and stores data. It's the key component of a project, since all parts of a project are linked to the data. Databases can be classified as relational and non-relational databases. Relational databases can store data in a structured manner within tables and allow relationships with other tables. By default, Django supports relational databases such as PostgreSQL (structured query language), SQLite and MySQL. The choice of which to use depends on the type of project; PostgreSQL may be more suitable for larger projects, while SQLite may be more suitable for smaller projects such as those with fewer than 100,000 rows. MySQL is typically used when capabilities of PostgreSQL such as support for geospatial data or advance datatypes aren't required. Non-relational databases do not use the format of a tabular schema to store data. Instead, they use object models specific to the type of data being stored. Elastic Search consists of a modern document-oriented database commonly used to quickly search millions of documents. Elastic Search could be used when the user needs to store an extensive amount of data and queries which need to be executed in real-time. In this project, I'll use SQLite which is appropriate for the size of the task.

Backend

The backend is where most of the work is performed. Using Django as the backend framework facilitates the work based on improvements made during 15 years of steady development since its release on July 21st, 2005.Footnote 2 Django users can also benefit from a large online community. There are also many third-party packages available to suit a variety of tasks. In the following sections, I'll present the packages and toolkits used to build an AIO web app for data science.

Pipeline

In the field of data science, a pipeline is a set of code or processes that convert raw data to usable data. Pipelines can sometimes be used to extract and structure data from a raw format while other times, they can use machine learning models to extract valuable insights from the data. There are many use cases for pipelines, but the selection of a pipeline depends on the requirements of the project. Often, projects in the domain of data science involve a set Python code that can be executed to perform some of the operations.

Task Scheduler

A task scheduler is used for performing asynchronous tasks that run in the background without halting other processes of the application. For time consuming tasks such as data pipeline processing, it is often preferred to handle these tasks in the background with the help of threads, without blocking the normal request-response flow.Footnote 3 For example, if your web application requires you to upload a scanned PDF document which needs to be pre-processed before invoking an extracting module, the user will view a loading page until the file is processed. Sometimes, the loading page can appear for longer than expected, and a timeout error will be received. This error occurs because browsers and web requests are not designed to wait endlessly for a page to load. This can be solved by pre-processing the PDF data in the background and sending the user a notification when the processing is complete. Task schedulers are a convenient way to resolve this behaviour.

By default, Django doesn't support task scheduling, however, there are third-party Django apps such as Django-CeleryFootnote 4 that can integrate task queues asynchronously. This package can be installed with a pip install Django-Celery command. Extensive documentation is available for the library and can be referred to, when needed. A broker server such as Redis is required to facilitate communication between task scheduler and the backend. Redis stores messages produced by the Celery task queue application that describes the job at-hand. Redis is also used to store results from Celery queues, which can then be fetched from the frontend to present progress updates to the user. Some of the use-cases presented below can be supported by Django-Celery:

  • Running scheduled data retrieval cron jobs to update the database with the new data. (e.g., retrieve new data daily at 4 am).
  • Data cleaning and restructuring.
  • Running machine learning models whenever new data is ingested.
  • Updating database and reflecting changes on Dashboard.

Description - Figure 2: Flow diagram of a task scheduler

A process flow diagram of a task scheduler. Redis Server acts as a medium which can start tasks and keep track of the progress.
Three boxes are at the top and are labelled as follows "Task 1 – Completed", "Task 2 – Running" and "Task 3 – Running", each individually point towards the lower box labelled "Redis Server / REST API".

Figure 3: Task scheduler user interface

Figure 3: Task scheduler user interface
Description - Figure 3: Task scheduler user interface

A task scheduler user interface for the Frontend Dashboard. The table also shows useful information such as task name, status and success value. Action column contains a triangle 'play' button to execute a task; and a square 'stop' button to stop a running task.
The tasks and their Status, Success and Action are as follows.
Task 1 – Fetch New Data: Completed Status; Success is True and Action displays triangular white and blue play button.
Task 2 – Clean PDF: Running Status; Success is False and Action displays black square stop button.
Task 3 – Extract Data: Running Status; Success is False and Action displays black square stop button.

Running a pipeline this way is a better use of resources – pipeline tasks can be scheduled to run overnight when fewer users are on the app. By separating production tasks from development tasks also means that it develops efficiently. All distinct parts of the project can be combined in a single production-ready application. Finally, running the pipeline can provide users with additional control over the product since they can easily execute the pipeline as desired.

REST API

API's are microservices that simplify software development. It's often useful to separate different functions of an application into small web services. For example, when looking up an address using a postal code, a REST API for address lookup will return all street addresses within the postal code area. The response is often in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format which is an industry-standard and understood by many applications and programming languages. A REST API supports multiple methods, most commonly GET, POST, DELETE and UPDATE. Each method separates logic and helps structure code. These methods are self-explanatory and are responsible for getting, adding or posting new data, as well as deleting and updating data, respectively. Using REST APIs within web applications acts as a middleware between a database and a frontend – protecting the database from security vulnerabilities.

In Django, one can build APIs with a simple JSON HTTP response. However, there is a dedicated open-source toolkit known as Django-rest-framework which can be used for building APIs.Footnote 5 Some benefits of using Django REST framework include:

  • providing web browsable API out of the box,
  • Inbuilt Authentication policies for data security,
  • prebuilt serializers which can convert a Python object to a JSON object easily, and
  • extensive documentation, customizable and supported by various other Django plugins.

For use-cases similar to what's presented in this article, the Django REST framework can be used for building data API's and creating API's for fetching tasks and pipeline progress while running in the background. This data can be integrated within the frontend to show the progress as illustrated in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Processing PDF Files

Figure 4: Processing PDF Files
Description - Figure 4: Processing PDF Files

A GUI progress bar that shows the progress of a code that processes PDF files. The bar is at 70%. When a PDF file is processed, the slider size, percentage value and processed file count updates to show the status of the pipeline.
The text at the top of the bar reads Executing PDF extraction pipeline, and the text below the progress bar reads 7/10 files processed. 2 minutes remaining.

Security

Security should always be considered when reviewing framework options. In this article, I talk about the Django Python framework and some of its packages. Django is a framework with many security features. It supports deployment behind https and encrypted sites using SSL (secure sockets layer). Django ORM (object-relational mapping) also protects from SQL injection-type queries where users can execute unwanted SQL code in the database. It also authenticates web addresses through an 'ALLOWED_HOSTS' value in the settings file, which contains the hostname of the webpage. This setting prevents cross site scripting attacks where fake hostnames can be used.

At Statistics Canada many of the Python web apps are deployed on the Advanced Analytics Workspace (AWW) which follows STATCAN guidelines for security, privacy and data confidentiality. Standard network protection elements like firewalls, traffic management, reduced user rights for application code and separation of concerns are all employed to reduce the overall attack surface for any potential vector. Further, RBAC (Role Based Access Control) is used to restrict access to the dashboard, preventing unwanted users from accessing apps. Various methods for scanning and vulnerability detection are also employed to ensure continued operation of secure applications.

Conclusion

In this article, we covered one possibility of building a web app that can be used to automatically run a pipeline, as well as the dashboard component for clients. We also discussed modern techniques and tools that can be used with Python programming to achieve results.

The front end component can be built using Django with a combination of languages such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language), JavaScript and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Other frameworks such as React can also be used. This kind of backend can also be integrated with Microsoft PowerBI, with the help of an API. Although building the frontend is highly subjective, using Django templates for the frontend is useful as it can serve the purpose of building an all-inclusive web app. With this framework, the possibilities are endless. This architecture mostly helps to reduce coding, resources and maintenance, and facilitates reusable apps for similar projects. It consists of many non-isolated components which can be reused for other applications with the help of microservice architecture.

The Data Science Network article called Deploying Your Machine Learning Project as a Service expands on the practices relevant to project development we have mentioned. The techniques and concepts showcased in the article are also helpful during the various stages of project development and could be incorporated while deploying applications.
