Why have you been selected?

You have been selected because Statistics Canada uses a statistical method called sampling. It is an established way to determine characteristics of an entire population by surveying only part of the population.

Hospitals: Few hospitals are present in Canada and we need information from all of them to be able to produce accurate statistics on their energy use at the provincial/territorial level.

Post-secondary institutions: 98% of the post-secondary institutions in Canada were selected as part of a random sample to represent the population of post-secondary institutions.

It is important that all institutions answer to be able to produce accurate statistics on their energy use at the provincial/territorial level.

Who should complete this questionnaire?

This questionnaire should be completed by the person most knowledgeable about the energy consumption and usage of this post-secondary institution or hospital.

i.e., someone who has access to energy bills and knowledge about the structure and details of this institution (e.g., property manager, building manager, facilities and operations manager, building owner).

How do we protect your information?

Statistics Canada is committed to respecting the privacy of consultation participants. All personal information created, held or collected by the agency is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act.

The Annual Survey of Manufacturing and Logging Industries (ASML) measures both revenues from goods manufactured as well as total revenues. It should be noted that when comparing to the sales of goods manufactured variable from the Monthly Survey of Manufacturing (MSM), users should use the first concept, revenues from goods manufactured from the ASML. The total revenues published from the ASML measures a broader concept as it includes revenues from activities other than manufacturing.  For example, total revenues includes goods purchased for resale, investment and interest revenues. Total revenues from the ASML therefore cannot be compared to sales of goods manufactured published by the MSM.

The two surveys answer different user needs. The Monthly Survey of Manufacturing is built to provide an indicator on the state of the manufacturing sector and track monthly changes, i.e. provide information on the trend, while the Annual Survey of Manufacturing and Logging Industries is built to paint a detailed picture on the total dollar values of the industries, i.e. to provide information on the levels.

In order to provide information on trend that is not altered by changes in the sample, the sample of the Monthly Survey of Manufacturing is redrawn every five years, while the sample of the Annual Survey of Manufacturing and Logging Industries is renewed every year.

Both surveys are subject to revisions, however the two surveys will not produce identical results mainly because of methodological differences. For example, there are differences in sampling strategies (as described above), respondents reporting on the annual survey for a fiscal year that is different from a January to December calendar year, auxiliary data sources (MSM uses GST data, while ASML uses T2 tax data for imputation and calibration), imputation methods (for a particular record, MSM may use historical imputation, while ASML may use a donor to impute, or vice versa).

Methodology

Inter-city indexes of price differentials of consumer goods and services show estimates of price differences between 15 Canadian cities in all provinces and territories, as of October 2019. These estimates are based on a selection of products (goods and services) purchased by consumers in each of the 15 cities.

In order to produce optimal inter-city indexes, product comparisons were initially made by pairing cities that are in close geographic proximity. The resulting price level comparisons were then extended to include comparisons between all of the cities, using a chaining procedure. The following initial pairings were used:

Reliable inter-city price comparisons require that the selected products be very similar across cities. This ensures that the variation in index levels between cities is due to pure price differences and not to differences in the attributes of the products, such as size and/or quality.

Within each city pair, product price quotes were matched on the basis of detailed descriptions. Whenever possible, products were matched by brand, quantity and with some regard for the comparability of retail outlets from which they were selected.

Additionally, the target prices for this study are final prices and as such, include all sales taxes and levies applied to consumer products within a city. This can be an important source of variation when explaining differences in inter-city price levels.

It should be noted that price data for the inter-city indexes are drawn from the sample of monthly price data collected for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Given that the CPI sample is optimized to produce accurate price comparisons through time, and not across regions, the number of matched price quotes between cities can be small. It should also be noted that, especially in periods when prices are highly volatile, the timing of the product price comparison can significantly affect city-to-city price relationships.

The weights used to aggregate the food indexes within a city are based on the combined consumption expenditures of households living in the 15 cities tracked. As such, one set of weights is used for all 15 cities for the food indexes. Iqaluit has only the food major component index and its selected sub-groups published, as a result, the weights used to aggregate the non-food product indexes within a city are based on the combined consumption expenditures of households living in the other 14 cities tracked. Currently, 2017 expenditures are used to derive the weights. These expenditures are expressed in October 2019 prices.

The inter-city index for a particular city is compared to the weighted average of all 15 cities, which is equal to 100. For example, an index value of 102 for a particular city means that prices for the measured commodities are 2% higher than the weighted, combined city average.

These estimates should not be interpreted as a measure of differences in the cost of living between cities. The indexes provide price comparisons for a selection of products only, and are not meant to give an exhaustive comparison of all goods and services purchased by consumers. Additionally, the shelter price concept used for these indexes is not conducive to making cost-of-living type comparisons between cities (see below).

Additional Information on Shelter

Shelter prices were absent from the inter-city index program prior to 1999 because of methodological and conceptual issues associated with their measurement. The diverse nature of shelter means that accurate matches between cities are often difficult to make.

To account for some of these difficulties, a rental equivalence approach is used to construct the inter-city price indexes for owned accommodation. Such an approach uses market rents as an approximation to the cost of the shelter services consumed by homeowners. It is important to note that this approach may not be suitable for the needs of all users. For instance, since the rental equivalence approach does not represent an out-of-pocket expenditure, the indexes should not be used for measuring differences in the purchasing power of homeowners across cities.

The relatively small size of the housing market in Whitehorse and Yellowknife makes it difficult to construct reliable price indexes for rented accommodation and owned accommodation. To compensate, housing information is collected using different pricing frequencies and collection methods than in the rest of the country. Consequently, users should exercise caution when using the indexes for rented accommodation and owned accommodation for these two cities.
