Introduction to the Chart of Accounts (COA) Canada 2006

Status

This version of the Chart of Accounts was approved at Methods and Standards Committee in October 2005. It replaces the previous version, approved in April 2001.

The Chart of Accounts comprises a balance sheet, an income statement and selected other accounts. The balance sheet and income statement are referred to as the core accounts. The other accounts are referred to as supplementary accounts. The higher levels of the core accounts most classes up to and including the 4-digit level of detail, as well as selected classes at greater levels of detail constitute a Departmental Standard. The classes that are part of the Departmental Standard are referred to as summary accounts. All other classes within the core accounts and all classes within the supplementary accounts comprise the Recommended Standard.

Financial Position and Performance of a Business

The financial position and performance of a business is reported through accounting statements prepared by a business to communicate this information to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. The balance sheet provides information on the financial position of a business. The income statement provides information on the performance of a business. The elements of the balance sheet are assets, liabilities and equity. The elements of the income statement are revenues; expenses; gains/losses, corporate taxes and other items; and extraordinary gains/losses, non-recurring items and adjustments.

Variables

Each element of the balance sheet and income statement is considered a variable. The variables are:

1. Assets
2. Liabilities
3. Equity
4. Revenue
5. Expenses
6. Gains/losses, corporate taxes and other items
7. Extraordinary gains/losses, non-recurring items and adjustments

Standard Classification

Variables used to measure financial position and performance are classified according to the Statistics Canada Chart of Accounts (COA). The classification is hierarchical and the classes are mutually exclusive and exhaustive of the variables as a whole. An example of the coding system follows:

Example of coding system

1 Assets
1.1 Financial assets
1.1.1 Cash, Deposits and Official International Reserves
1.1.1.1 Cash in Canadian Currency
1.1.1.2 Demand Deposits / Notice Deposits in Deposit Accepting Institutions
1.1.1.3 Term Deposits - under 90 days
1.1.1.4 Other Cash Equivalents
1.1.1.5 Other Current Cash Accounts (including Restricted Cash)

For details, see the Statistics Canada Chart of Accounts. The conceptual basis of the COA is correspondence with generally-accepted business accounting practices.

Other Classifications

No other classifications are defined in this standard.

Concordances

The Statistics Canada Chart of Accounts will be linked to several other widely-used accounting taxonomies. These include the taxonomy of the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS), the General Index of Financial Information (GIFI), the US GAAP and the proposed Canadian GAAP.

Statistical Units

Information on financial position is compiled for companies and enterprises. Information on financial performance is compiled for establishments, companies and enterprises.

Population

Information on financial position and performance is compiled for groupings of the above statistical units as appropriate.

Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, on a temporary absence or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Federal inmates in provincial institutions: The average daily count of federal offenders held by provincial/territorial correctional services through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Long-Term Supervision: The Long Term Supervision Order extends the length of time that the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) can supervise and support certain sex offenders who would benefit from extended supervision in the community beyond the completion of his/her regular sentence. The Long Term Supervision Order provides another way of managing certain sex offenders in the community rather than through lifetime incarceration.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Parole: Programs of conditional release from custody into the community under the authority of parole boards.

Provincial inmates in federal institutions: The average daily count of provincial/territorial offenders held by CSC through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Statutory Release: Release of federal offenders into the community after serving two thirds of their sentence.

Temporary absence: Allows offenders to leave the institution for specific purposes. Offenders may be either "escorted" or "unescorted". Reasons for such releases are usually for family visits, medical services, rehabilitation programs, socialization or humanitarian reasons.

A-KIR Definitions

Actual-in counts: All persons held in custody under sentence, on remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.

Monthly average daily count calculation: The data for monthly average daily counts are calculated by dividing the total days stay (or total "bed" days) for all correctional institutions within the jurisdiction by the number of days in the month.

Month-end counts: This data should be derived from month-end counts of offenders under supervision.

Custody

Remand only: Remand includes those persons in custody on a REMAND Warrant of Committal ONLY who are awaiting a further court appearance (i.e. pure remand average counts), and are NOT presently serving a sentence or being held on another "hold" status.

Sentenced custody only: Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment under a Warrant of Committal ONLY, and NOT presently held on another "hold" status.

Other-temporary detention: adults who are being held in provincial/territorial correctional institutions for lock-ups, parole violations or suspensions, immigration holds, and those who are temporarily detained without warrants of any type.

Lock-up: a short period of custody spent in jail (since no cell is available in police station), while waiting to be released, usually to see a Justice of the Peace.

Dual status Remand and Sentenced custody: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and a Remand Warrant of Committal.

Dual status Sentenced custody and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a Provincial/Territorial sentenced Warrant of Committal and those held in other/temporary detention.

Non-sentenced dual status Remand and Other-temporary detention: includes all inmates held on a REMAND Warrant of Committal and on an Other / Temporary Detention.

Provincial/Territorial: Offenders who are sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment which is less than two years are the responsibility of provincial or territorial correctional services.

Federal: Offenders under federal responsibility, held in a provincial/territorial facility through an Exchange of Service Agreement (ESA).

Community

Supervised probation : includes all adults who must, as a condition of a probation order, report to and be under the supervision of a probation officer or other person designated by the court ONLY, and are NOT presently serving a conditional sentence or parole.

Conditional sentence: includes all offenders serving a conditional sentence ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or parole. Allows offenders sentenced to a term of custody to serve their time in the community under supervision. Compulsory conditions can be attached to the sentence such as remaining within the jurisdiction of the court and reporting to a supervisor as specified. Other conditions may require the offender to abstain from the consumption of alcohol or to perform community work.

Provincial parole: includes all adults in Quebec and Ontario on Provincial Parole ONLY, and are NOT presently serving supervised probation or conditional sentence. Allows the offender to serve the remainder of the sentence in the community under supervision by a community parole officer. Possible after serving 1/3 of the sentence.

Dual status conditional sentence and parole: Includes dual-status offenders on conditional sentence and parole ONLY.

Dual status of supervised probation and parole: Includes dual-status offenders on supervised probation and parole ONLY.

On-register but not in custody:

On-register: The average On-register but not in custody count should be derived from daily-midnight counts of offenders actually on the institutional registers but temporarily absent from the institution at the time of the count.

Temporary absence: Allows offenders to leave the institution for specific purposes. Offenders may be either "escorted" or "unescorted". Reasons for such releases are usually for family visits, medical services, rehabilitation programs, socialization or humanitarian reasons.

Day parole: After 1/6 of the sentence, the inmate can be allowed out to participate in ongoing community based activities. Inmates must return nightly to a halfway-house or a provincial –territorial jail unless otherwise authorized.

Other types of community supervision

Temporary release from custody: A release for a longer period of time, like 3 weeks to a month for humanitarian reasons.

Fine option program: provides work service as an alternative to the payment of a fine.

Community service: requires offenders to perform community services for an individual or non-profit organizations, which may or may not be a condition of supervised probation. Monthly counts should include all offenders with a requirement to complete community service work.

Other: may include bail supervision, restitution orders etc.

Bail supervision: a community based program that is an alternative to detention before sentencing.
Restitution: an additional order imposed upon an offender that requires the offender to make restitution for loss or damage."

CKIR-Y Core Definitions

Introduction

This document is intended to assist aggregate data respondents in completing the standard data tables for the Corrections Key Indicator Report for Youth (CKIR-Y).

The development of National Data Requirements for any survey is vital to establishing a uniform set of concepts that are comparable across jurisdictions as well as over time. The application of uniform definitions and maintenance of comparable data is part of the mandate of the National Justice Statistics Initiative.

Survey respondents providing aggregate data should inform the CKIR-Y survey staff if they are unable to apply the core definitions to specific concepts (e.g., average counts) and to what extent their data differ from the core definitions. Highlighting these variances will allow the survey to notify data users if such differences exist, and will help to facilitate the development and application of uniform definitions as the survey evolves.

Survey Population

In general, the objective of the Corrections Key Indicator Report for Youth survey is to produce an unduplicated count of the number of young persons in custody as well as a count of the number of young persons actively supervised in community corrections programs.

Note: If your jurisdiction is unable to produce counts according to the rules that follow, please indicate how your counts deviate from them.

Custody Counts

The custody count is represented by the actual-In count.

Includes all young persons inside the custody facility at the time the count is taken.
Includes all young persons who are in custody and who are also under community supervision at the time the count is taken.
Excludes young persons who are on-register, but not actually in a custody facility at the time of the count (e.g., Unlawfully At Large, in hospital, etc.).
Legal Status counted is represented by the legal status at the time the count is taken rather than the time of admission.
Multiple status In the event the young person has more than one status he/she should be counted as follows:
- Count as sentenced any young person who is serving a sentence combined with any other status.
- Count as pre-trial detention any young person who is on pre-trial detention combined with any other status except sentenced custody.

The CKIR-Y survey collects average actual-in count data for each month, which should be derived from the daily midnight counts. The Monthly average actual in count should be calculated as follows:

Total all of the counts for the month divided by the number of days in the month. In order to report an average daily count for the year from the monthly average data, CCJS takes the sum of each monthly average count and divides by the number of months (12).
In situations where a jurisdiction is able to only produce an average daily count for the year, total all of the midnight counts for the year and divide by the number of days in the year.
If daily counts are not available for each day in the year, use the most frequent time interval available. For example, if average counts are only available for Monday to Friday, this would produce 260 time points and the sum of daily counts would be divided by 260.

Community Counts

The community count is represented by the active community supervision count for each program.

Young persons actively supervised in more than one community program, are counted once for each program.
Excluded are young persons who are in custody at the time of the count.
Excluded are young persons who are under a supervision order, but for any one of a number of reasons are not actively supervised, (e.g., transfer of supervision, Unlawfully At Large, administrative termination).

The CKIR-Y survey collects month-end counts of persons in each program. To produce an annual figure, the CCJS calculates the month-end average count for the year.

The month-end count is a point in time count, usually taken on or about the last calendar day of the month. The CCJS uses month-end counts to maintain continuity with traditional methods of counting the community caseload, which was usually done at month-end.
Please indicate if your jurisdiction uses a different method of counting, such as average daily count.

Core Definitions

Actual-in counts: All young persons held in custody under sentence, on pre-trial detention, provincial director remand, or who are otherwise legally required to be at a custody facility and who are present at the time the count is taken.

Average Daily Counts: The average number of persons supervised under a specified program on a daily basis.
Age: Refers to the age of the young person at the time of the count.

Custody Portion: The custody portion of a custody sentence refers to the portion of the custody and supervision sentence which is served in custody.

Community Portion of a Custody Sentence: Under the YCJA, all youth custody and supervision sentences require a period of custody and community supervision as part of the sentence. The community portion of a custody sentence refers to the portion of the custody and supervision sentence which is served in the community.

Month-end Community count: Data are an indication of the active community sentence caseload.

Open custody: A facility is considered "open" when there is minimal use of security devices or perimeter security. The extent to which facilities are "open" varies across jurisdictions. Open custody facilities include community residential centers, group homes, childcare institutions, forest or wilderness camps etc.

Pre-trial Detention: To hold a young person temporarily in custody, while awaiting trial or sentencing.

Provincial Director Remand: To hold a young person in custody following the breach of community supervision conditions pursuant to a warrant issued by the Provincial Director.

Reporting Period: The reference time period is from April 1^st to March 31^st.

Secure Custody: A facility is considered "secure" when young persons are detained by security devices, including those facilities which operate with full perimeter security features and/or where young persons are under constant observation. The extent to which facilities are "secure" varies across jurisdictions.

Sentenced counts: Includes all young persons in custody under a sentence Warrant of Committal, as well as those persons who have been sentenced on one charge but who are awaiting the completion of court hearings on another charge. Also includes young persons who have completed a custodial sentence and have been returned to custody following a breach of conditions.

Supervised probation: Includes all young persons who must, as a condition of a probation order "report to and be under the supervision of a probation officer or other person designated by the court". Unsupervised probation orders are excluded.

Young Person (YCJA)/Young Offender (YOA): A person who is twelve years of age or older, but less than eighteen years of age, at the time of committing an offence.

Entering the labour market: Tips for a successful job interview

It’s happened—you’ve finished school! With your diploma in hand, you’re preparing to knock on doors to find a job that will meet your expectations and help you to earn a living.

If you have a college diploma or a bachelor’s degree, your chances of landing a job in your field of study are high (around 80%).^{Footnote 1} Still, here are some tips to help you succeed.

Write a good résumé: To find a job, you have to start by getting an interview. And for that, your résumé must stand out. Make sure you read the hiring criteria (education, skills and qualifications sought) and show that you meet each of them in your résumé. Some employers also require that the résumé be accompanied by a cover letter. Don’t forget it, or your application could be rejected!
Come prepared: Learn about the company, the industry and the competition. Ask yourself why you want to work for this company and what your expertise and ideas can bring to it. Nothing is better to increase your self-confidence and help you feel prepared to answer questions. It also shows your future employer that you have a real interest in the job and that you care about the company’s success.
Dress the part: They say not to judge a book by its cover, but a neat appearance still opens a few doors. That said, know how to adapt to the workplace you want. There’s no point in arriving in a suit and tie or a stern-looking outfit if you’re applying for a job in the field of video games. Similarly, if you’re looking to get hired at a bank or at the front desk of a large hotel, it may be better to adopt a more classic look.

Entering the labour market: A few figures

School is finally done! You’re getting ready to join the working world for good. Some people look forward to it, overjoyed to finally be able to make a living and achieve their goals. For others, however, it can be a source of uncertainty. How long will it take me to find a job? Will I get a job in my field? Will I have a better chance if I continue studying?

These are some of the many questions that may be running through your head. We’ll try to answer them with our survey data.

Falling unemployment rate

The unemployment rate of young Quebeckers aged 25 to 29 years has been falling in recent years, from 9.0% in 2014 to 8.2% in 2015 and 7.4% in 2016.^{Footnote 1} Since you surely don’t want to be unemployed after graduation, especially when you start repaying your loans, this figure should make you happy.

Three years tops to find a job

The majority of college and university graduates (90% and over) who decide not to pursue their studies find employment within three years of graduating. The difference, however, lies in the pay. The annual median salary for a full-time job ranges from $41,600 for college graduates to $75,000 for doctoral graduates.^{Footnote 2}

Delaying entry into the labour market

If you still have difficulty getting hired despite the statistics, you may be thinking of continuing your education in the hopes that it will help you find work. It could be worth it! In 2014, for men and women with university degrees, completing another postsecondary program after obtaining their degree was generally associated with higher employment rates, as well as higher weekly wages.^{Footnote 3}

2018 submissions

Public Service and Procurement Canada’s (PSPC) Acquisition Information Service (AIS) database linkage to Statistics Canada’s enterprise microdata (001-2018)

Purpose: The linkage between PSPC procurement database (AIS) and Statistics Canada datasets will be used to examine the characteristics of firms involved in procurements (such as size, location, ownership) and the socio-economic outcomes of the procurement contracts.

The AIS dataset from PSPC database will be linked to Statistics Canada’s Business Register (2010-2017), National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File (2010-2017), and Canadian Employee-Employer Dynamics Dataset (2010-2017).

Output: Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and linked analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada’s policies and standards. All direct business and employee identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. External researchers can only access the linked data in the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research, on Statistics Canada premises, and under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees. The linked file will be retained in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, until no longer required, at which time they will be destroyed.

Characteristics of repeated contact with the Nova Scotia criminal justice system: Linking Nova Scotia re-contact data with income, health and immigration data. (002-2018)

Purpose: Repeat contact or re-contact with the justice system has been identified as a key justice priority by Deputy Ministers responsible for Justice and Public Safety as well as other policy makers and justice administrators. Until recently, the lack of information on the nature and extent of repeat contact with, and pathways through, the justice system represented one of the more conspicuous gaps in our understanding of crime in Canada.

In an effort to address this data gap, the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS), in cooperation with representatives of the National Justice Statistics Initiative (NJSI), undertook a project aimed at the creation and ongoing delivery of high-quality indicators of re-contact with the justice system. Whereas a contact is defined as an official intervention by police, courts, or corrections, a re-contact is defined as a subsequent contact with the police, courts, or corrections signifying a new, official intervention.

The purpose of the project is to establish baseline information about individuals who have had contact with the Nova Scotia Justice system. This data will then be used to generate additional information about their involvement with Nova Scotia’s other social services, namely education, health and those in other social sectors.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregate statistics and analyses that will not result in the identification of an individual person, business or organization will be released outside of Statistics Canada. High-level findings may be reported in the form of presentations to various NJSI partners.

Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs (SMEP) linked to the T1 Family File (T1FF) (003-2018)

Purpose: The Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs will be linked to the T1 Family File. This linkage will allow researchers to understand the income, demographic and socio-economic characteristics of recipients, payors and beneficiaries of child and spousal support and allow for an understanding of the socio-economic situations of child and spousal support payors, recipients and beneficiaries. This information will support the development, enhancement and evaluation of policies, programs and procedures.

Output: All access to the linked microdata file will be restricted to Statistics Canada personnel (including Statistics Canada deemed employees) whose work activities require access. Only aggregate data that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Findings will be used in research papers and in presentations at workshops and conferences.

Linkage of the Saskatchewan Legal Aid Client Registry to income, justice and socio-demographic data. (004-2018)

Purpose: The Saskatchewan Legal Aid Client Registry will be linked to the 2011 Census, 2011 National Household Survey (NHS), the 2016 Census, the T1 Family File (T1FF) and the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS) in order to develop an overview of the socio-demographic profile of individuals who did or did not receive legal representation, as well as the impact of legal aid within criminal court proceedings for legal aid policy and program development.

Outputs: All access to the linked microdata file will be restricted to Statistics Canada personnel (including Statistics Canada deemed employees) whose work activities require access. Only aggregate data that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Findings will be used in research reports and in presentations to various groups.

Estimating the uptake rate of the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) using the Census and Child Tax Benefit (CTB) files (005-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of this linkage project is to estimate the 2016 uptake rate of the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) among key populations in Canada. To do this, this project will link administrative CCB program data on CCB payments to families in the 2016 Census.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will use non-confidential aggregate statistics to better understand differences in CCB uptake rates across geographies and populations. This information will be used for program improvements such as targeted outreach to increase the uptake of the CCB.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated tables, conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Estimating labour market indicators on reserves using the Census programs and administrative data (006-2018)

Purpose: The objective of this program is to fill a data gap in labour market information for the population living on reserve by calculating labour market indicators pertinent to the development of labour market policies and programs.

The linkage between the Census programs, the Longitudinal Workers File, the T4 Files and the T1 Family Files will be used to calculate yearly labour market indicators for those living on reserve as well as those living in adjacent communities. The linkage will also be used to perform research on specific issues related to labour market indicators.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) will use the non-confidential labour market estimates as well as the research results to develop labour market policies regarding Aboriginal persons and persons living on reserves.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated data estimates, which conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Surrey Opioid Data Collection and Community Response Project: Linking Surrey Opioids data with income, health and immigration data. (008-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to build the capacity for identifying the primary risk factors and the sub-populations at greatest risk of an overdose in Surrey BC. It will create a better understanding of the characteristics of those individuals at the heart of the opioid crisis-particularly for those individuals using and dying in their residence. This work is being conducted for Public Safety Canada and the city of Surrey to assist them in identifying the root of the illicit drug epidemic and the individuals most at risk of overdose, as well as deriving a typology for the classification of incidents and individuals at risk of opioid related overdose.

Linkage of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) to Mortality, Cancer, Hospital Administrative Files, and tax data (007-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to create a series of outcome files resulting from the CCHS survey files (annual and theme) being linked to a health outcomes including hospitalizations, mortality and cancer. These linked files will faciliate the study of the impact of a broad range of social determinants of health (i.e. socioeconomic status, ethnicity, risk factors and disease states) on health outcomes at the population level. T1FF information for both the individual as well as the different family members will provide information on change of income over time to assess the ecomonic impact of health conditions on the population.

Output: Access to the linked microdata files will be restricted to Statistics Canada personnel (including Statistics Canada deemed employees) whose work activities require access. Only aggregate data that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. Analytical datasets will be placed in the Research Data Centres (RDCs) and access will be granted following standard RDC approval process. The source datasets will be anonymized and will respect variable restrictions in effect for the source datasets (e.g., hospital, vital statistics, cancer, tax files). Major findings will be used to create research papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at workshops and conferences.

Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS) data linkage project (010-2018)

Purpose: Understanding the characteristics of those who come in contact with the criminal court system is of importance to a variety of different individuals, including different levels of government, policy makers, legal professionals and the public. The proposed record linkage project will benefit Canadians by providing new data on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of accused persons who are before the criminal courts, by examining them in relation to case/charge characteristics and outcomes. It will also provide new data related to the different health situations of these individuals (e.g. substance abuse, disability issues), including their interactions with the health care system, with a particular focus on mental health. This project will also allow Justice Canada to generate specific metrics of marginalization and overrepresentation across the criminal justice system that were identified in the framework endorsed by federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) Ministers responsible for Justice and Public Safety.

This study will link data from the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS) to the Census/National Household Survey (NHS), the Discharge Abstract database (DAD), the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS), Ontario Mental Health Reporting System (OMHRS) and the T1 Family File (T1FF) in order to gain information on the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of accused persons involved in the criminal court system.

Output: All access to the linked microdata will be limited to Statistics Canada employees and Statistics Canada deemed employees whose work activities require access. Only aggregate data that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. This will likely be in the form of analytical reports, or presentations to criminal justice stakeholders.

Financial Capability, Employment and Income Database (FCEID): Mapping between Self-Reported and Objective Measures of Financial Performance (012-2018)

Purpose: The aim of this initiative is to create a database to facilitate research on topics related to financial literacy, financial choice and management, life-cycle saving and investing, and retirement preparedness. The proposed linkage will combine data on financial literacy, spending and budgeting strategies, sources of financial advice used, and wealth accumulation from the Canadian Financial Capability Survey (CFCS) with a wide set of longitudinal information on earnings and income dynamics, returns on investments, tax-planning performance, and life-cycle savings behaviour from taxation- and employment-based administrative files.

Output: Analytical findings from these linked datasets will be used to prepare research papers for publication and dissemination at research conferences and seminars. Only non-confidential aggregate statistics that cannot result in the identification of an individual, person, business, or organization will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Tobacco Litigation Research Using the New Brunswick Smoking Record Linkage Environment (014-2018)

Purpose: Statistics Canada has created a record linkage environment for the New Brunswick Tobacco Litigation Project called the New Brunswick Smoking Record Linkage Environment (NBSRLE). This environment will hold de-identified Statistics Canada survey data and New Brunswick administrative health data.

The purpose of this project is to create analysis files from the de-identified files for use by litigant experts. There are two areas of study proposed by this record linkage project for the ongoing litigation. First, a study of the relationship between smoking behavior and the cost of health care in New Brunswick. Second, this file may be used to substantiate or refute evidence presented during the litigation process.

Description: Statistics Canada has removed all personal identifiable information and a unique anonymous identifier was assigned to the administrative records for each person during the development of the linkable files (RL-085-2016) for this project. Common linking keys based on the identifiers have been created for the share-link Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and National Population Health Survey (NPHS) and de-identified versions of the administrative files and the survey files were placed in the Research Data Center (RDC) environment where they can be merged to create analytical datasets (RL-016-2017). The common linking key allows the litigant's experts to merge de-identified files within the NBSRLE to achieve their research objective.

Output: Outputs will be vetted for confidentiality prior to being released from the RDC.

No identifiable personal information will be released from the NBSRLE.

Furthermore, during a five-year period of exclusive access, which may be extended based on requirements of the litigation, use of these files may only be carried out as part of a research agenda initiated by the designated representatives (litigant experts) from the province of New Brunswick or the Signing Defendants under contract with Statistics Canada.

Linkage of three external Angels and Venture Capital Databases to the Linkable File Environment (LFE) (015-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to produce a research database that will allow researchers to analyse the characteristics of small–medium enterprises (SMEs) that have received support from risk capital such as angel and venture capital investors, as well as from government programs intended to support young and innovative technology-focused SMEs.

Output: A custom analytical report, based on the customized research database extracted from Statistics Canada's Linkable File Environment, will be produced by deemed employees of Statistics Canada.

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analysis that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Elections Canada Data Quality Confirmation Study of the National Register of Electors (016-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to evaluate the coverage, accuracy and currency of the National Register of Electors (the Register) maintained by Elections Canada. Certain data elements from the Register will be linked to Canadian Vital Statistics – Death records, Census of Population 2016 long-form respondent records and Labour Force Survey respondent records to conduct the evaluation and produce estimates at a variety of geographic levels (Canada, province/territory, electoral district). The results of the study will inform Elections Canada on the quality of the Register.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated data and an analytical report that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act and any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada to Elections Canada.

Characteristics of repeated contact with the Ontario criminal justice system: Linking Ontario re-contact data with income, health and immigration data. (017-2018)

Purpose: Repeat contact, or re-contact, with the justice system has been identified as a key justice priority by Deputy Ministers responsible for Justice and Public Safety, as well as other policy makers and justice administrators. Until recently, the lack of information on the nature and extent of repeat contact with, and pathways through, the justice system represented one of the more conspicuous gaps in our understanding of crime in Canada.

The purpose of the project is to establish baseline information about individuals who have had contact with the Ontario Justice system. This data will then be used to generate additional information about their involvement with Ontario's other social services, namely education, health and those in other social sectors.

Creation of the Research Analysis Files Using the British Columbia Smoking Record Linkage Environment (018-2018)

Purpose: Statistics Canada has created a record linkage environment for the British Columbia Tobacco Litigation Project called the British Columbia Smoking Record Linkage Environment (BCSRLE). This environment will be used to link Statistics Canada survey data to British Columbia administrative health data using a common unique, anonymized identifier, created as part of Record Linkage 024-2017.

The purpose of this linkage is to build analytical research files from the linkable survey and administrative files placed in the Research Data Centre (RDC) for the British Columbia Tobacco Litigation Project.

Description: Personal identifiers were removed and a unique anonymous identifier was assigned to the administrative records for each person. Furthermore, common linking keys based on the identifiers have been created for the share-link Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and de-identified linkable versions of the administrative files and the survey files were placed in the RDC environment (RL-024-2017).

The purpose of this project is to allow the litigant experts to create de-identified analysis files for use in the litigation using the linkable files previously placed in the RDC. There are three areas of study proposed by this record linkage project. First, researchers will address the question of the comparability of smoking attributable fraction (SAF) estimates derived from the Public Use Microdata File of the CCHS to estimates derived from the share-link file of the CCHS. Second, this project seeks to extend the estimation model to additional aspects of health care utilization (i.e. beyond hospital and physician care) and to examine the comparability of SAFs derived from self-report versus 'administrative' measures of health care utilization. Third, these file may be used to substantiate or refute evidence presented during the litigation process.

Output: Linked analysis files, statistical models, tabulations, and other analytical products will be created as part of this record linkage. Output files will contain the anonymous BCSRLE identifier and analysis variables for the share-link CCHS and British Columbia administrative datasets previously linked to the BCSRLE (record linkage number RL-024-2017) will be used in the RDCs identified by the Province of British Columbia.

No identifiable personal information will be released from the BCSRLE.

Research projects to access and link the BCSRLE output files in the RDC will be approved on a study-by-study basis. Furthermore, during a five-year period of exclusive access, research using these files may only be carried out as part of a research agenda initiated by the designated representatives (litigant experts) from the province of British Columbia or the Signing Defendants under contract with Statistics Canada. A summary of each approved study will be posted on the Statistics Canada website.

Linkage of a list of select businesses from the National Research Council Canada (NRC) to the Linkable File Environment (LFE) (019-2018)

Purpose: Budget 2018 announced a number of measures aimed at implementing Canada's Innovation and Skills Plan, of which Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) has been named one of four Flagship Platforms. One of these measures is an increase of threshold for eligible IRAP projects from $1 million to $10 million, widening the range of financial support available to Canadian small-medium enterprises (SMEs).

The objective of this project is to understand how NRC-IRAP will contribute assistance to the innovation of SMEs for projects between $1 million to $10 million.

Output: Customized tabulations for the National Research Council Canada (NRC) will be produced by Statistics Canada's Centre for Special Business Projects staff and the deemed employee from (NRC) based on the customized research database extracted from Statistics Canada's LFE.

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analysis that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Feasibility Study on Linking Canadian Cooperatives 2016 from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) to the Linkable File Environment (LFE) (020-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to assess the feasibility of using Linkable File Environment administrative data to replace survey data that has been collected by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) since 1935. A list of approximately 6,500 Canadian non-financial cooperative corporations for 2016, prepared by ISED, will be linked to the LFE.

Output: Variables from the Business Register (BR), tax and exporter databases available in the LFE will be used to produce 17 custom designed tables. The following variables for coops by industry will be used: revenues; assets; liabilities; equity; employment; salary and wage; employee benefits; business taxes; patronage dividends; grants and subsidies; exports; sales; general reserve amount; and R&D. Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Creation of the Longitudinal Immigration Statistical Environment (LISE) (026-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of the LISE is to comprehensively encapsulate the outcomes of immigrants to Canada using existing administrative and survey data. Using the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) as its base, the LISE will include health, labour, community, housing, social, and educational outcomes to the existing economic outcomes of the IMDB without incurring any additional response burden.

Output: The final series of keys will be made available in the Research Data Centre (RDC) for researchers, as well as any outcome files that are required for the linkage. No linked microdata files will be available in the RDC. All statistical tables and analytic outputs will be vetted, to ensure conformity to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, by Statistics Canada employees before being removed from Statistics Canada premises. Users will require access to any and all databases required for the linkage, as well as the keys necessary to link them all. No direct identifiers will be included in any of the files. In accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, the analysis file will be retained until no longer required, at which time it will be destroyed.

Non-confidential aggregate statistical tables will be produced for MCI yearly. On request, ad-hoc statistical tabulations may be produced for MCI.

Linkage of Federal Skills Training Programs (028-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of the project is to understand the characteristics and outcomes of those participating in federal skills training programs. Understanding these characteristics will assist the federal government in the development of policies to support an adaptable and inclusive workforce capable of meeting labour market demands now and in the future.

Output: Only non-confidential aggregated statistics and analytical output that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act and any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Linkage of Enabling Commercialization and Adoption stream program to the Linkable File Environment (030-2018)

Purpose: The main objective of this project is to link the Enabling Commercialization and Adoption stream program to the Linkable File Environment (LFE) of Statistics Canada to produce custom design tables of non-confidential aggregate statistics for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). The purpose of the tabulation is to compare the characteristics and the economic performance of firms before and after receiving financing support from AAFC. The comparison will be breakdown by industrial sector for the referred period 2004-2017.

This collaborative project between AAFC and the Centre for Special Business Projects will demonstrate how leveraging data linkage methods to create and analyze research datasets can support ongoing AAFC policy and program development.

Output: The output will be in the form of profiling tables which compare the economic performance of businesses that received AAFC financing support for pre-treatment and post-treatment performance. The linked AAFC list of businesses will be housed at Statistics Canada's Centre for Special Business Project (CSBP).

A research dataset will be produced and the full integrated database will be used by CSBP to produce a custom-designed table of non-confidential aggregate statistics for the client. The output of this project will not be sent to the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research (CDER).

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Studying the relationship between worker mobility and child birth using the Workplace Employee Survey and administrative data (031-2018)

Purpose: The researchers wish to examine the links between child birth and female worker job mobility, and ultimately the gender earnings gap. The study will have implications for the development of human resource policies and practices in firms that are seeking to reduce female representation gaps at different levels in their workforce.

Output: Security measures for the linking keys, identifiers and linked analysis file will conform to Statistics Canada's policies and standards. All direct business and employee identifiers will be removed from the analysis file once linkage is complete. External researchers can only access the linked data in the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research, on Statistics Canada premises, and under the Directive on the Use of Deemed Employees. The linked file will be retained in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Statistical Microdata Files, until no longer required, at which time it will be destroyed.

Linkage of Business Accelerators and Incubators to the Linkable File Environment (LFE) (032-2018)

Purpose: Announced in Budget 2016, the government committed to developing a Performance Measurement Framework for Business Accelerators and Incubators (BAIs) in partnership with leading BAIs. As a core component of this measurement framework, this project proposes to link the firm data collected from BAIs to the LFE in order to enable the production of key performance indicators of the impact BAIs have on their client firms. Active partners from the BAI community have been heavily engaged in the development and execution of this initiative and expectations are high in terms of the value that will be added through this partnership with the Government.

The proposed project will link the 2017 firm data to Statistics Canada's Linkable File Environment to build a profile of BAIs client firms. To do so, researchers from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Small Business Branch will arrange for BAIs firm data to be provided to Statistics Canada's Centre for Special Business Projects for the linkage.

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analysis that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Linkage of Atlantic Indigenous Businesses to the Linkable File Environment (035-2018)

Purpose: The main objective of this project is to link Atlantic Indigenous Businesses to the Linkable File Environment (LFE) of Statistics Canada to produce custom design tables of non-confidential aggregate statistics for the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC). The Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC) has been awarded the contract to conduct research on Successful Atlantic Indigenous Businesses: Improving Employment and Socio-economic Outcomes. This research project is being conducted on behalf of the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs Secretariat (APC-FNC Secretariat).

APEC and its two co-investigators, which are Indigenous organizations, are in the process of developing the inventory of Atlantic Canada Indigenous businesses, which can be cross-matched with the Linked File Environment to find administrative and Statistics Canada survey data.

Output: The output will be in the form of a profiling table which presents some aggregate economic indicators such as the total revenue; sales; profits, exports and the number of employees by Atlantic province and by sector. The linked APEC list of businesses will be housed at Statistics Canada's Centre for Special Business Project (CSBP).

Only non-confidential aggregate statistical outputs and analyses that conform to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada.

Linkage of provincial and territorial social and affordable housing administrative data to T1 Family File and Census of population data (036-2018)

Purpose: The purpose of this record linkage is to construct two microdata files that will be used by Statistics Canada's employees for the production of custom tabulations available to provincial and territorial managers of social and affordable housing programs and to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. These aggregated data will inform important topics related to the demographics and income of those living in social and affordable housing, as well as some characteristics of the dwellings as they relate to various social and affordable program parameters.

Output: Only non-confidential, aggregated tables, conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act, will be released.
