  • Tag: Arthritis
  • Arthritis means "joint inflammation" and encompasses more than 100 diseases and conditions that affect the joints, the tissues that surround the joint and other connective tissue causing pain, swelling and stiffness which often lead to disability.
  • Osteoarthritis results from deterioration of cartilage and thickening of the bones underneath, in one or more joints. This leads to joint damage, pain and stiffness. Typically it affects hands, feet, knees, spine and hips.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis and an autoimmune disease. It is caused by the body's immune system attacking the body's joints (primarily hands, wrists and feet). This leads to pain, inflammation and joint damage. Rheumatoid Arthritis may also involve other organ systems such as eyes, heart and lungs.
  • Rheumatism is an older term used to describe any of a number of painful conditions of muscles, tendons, joints, and bones. While the term is still used in colloquial speech, there is no longer any recognized disorder called "rheumatism". Rheumatism conditions have been classified as localized, regional or generalized. Localized rheumatism conditions include bursitis and tendinitis. Regional rheumatism conditions include chest wall pain, temporomandibular joint pain, and myofascial pain syndromes. Generalized rheumatism conditions include fibromyalgia. Another category of rheumatism is psychogenic rheumatism. With this term it is understood that the patient is reporting inconsistent pains of muscles and joints that do not correspond to true anatomy and physiology. The patient is felt to have underlying psychological causes for the symptoms.

Insulin dependent or Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes is also called juvenile diabetes as it is usually diagnosed in childhood. People with Type 1 diabetes take insulin injections to manage their diabetes.

Non-insulin dependent or Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the body does not properly use the insulin it makes. Type 2 diabetes is also known as adult-onset diabetes as it is usually diagnosed later in life. Some people with Type 2 diabetes may take insulin injections but management through diet and exercise or taking pills to regulate blood sugar are more common treatments.

    • Tag: Type of educational institution
    • Elementary school is also referred to as primary school. Schools are classified as elementary if they provide instruction to Grades 6 and under.
    • Junior high school is also referred to as middle school and usually represents Grade 7 and 8, although this can differ among provinces in Canada and other countries.
    • High School usually represents Grade 9 to 12 including high school equivalency certificates such as the General Educational Development (GED) certificate and the Adult Basic Education (ABE) certificate.
    • Trade/vocational certificate or diploma is a term used to classify skill courses that prepare trainees for occupations not at the professional or semi-professional levels. A trade-vocational school is a public or private educational institution, which offers courses to prepare people for employment in a specific occupation such as heavy equipment operator, automotive mechanic, secretarial and upholstering. Many community colleges or technical institutes offer certificates or diplomas at the trade level.
    • Apprenticeship certificate is a program that combines on-the-job training (by observation and practice) with short periods of related in-class technical training to produce a fully qualified journeyman tradesperson. The employer undertakes, by contract, to employ and train an apprentice under the supervision of a qualified journeyman. To become an apprentice, usually there is a formal registration process with a provincial ministry or department. Examples of occupations for which apprenticeship will lead to a journeyman certificate include cooking, masonry, finishing carpentry, plumbing, and machinist.
    • CEGEP is a French acronym for "Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel." These institutions are classified at a postsecondary level (students enter CEGEP after completing six years of elementary school and five years of secondary school) and offer Diploma of College Studies (DCS/DEC) as a two-year pre-university program or as a three-year technical program leading to employment. There are also shorter technical programs leading to an Attestation of College Studies (ACS). A two-year Diploma of Vocational Studies (DVS/DEP) is required prior to entering into an apprenticeship in Québec. Pre-university programs lead to university, whereas technical programs generally lead to the labour market, but can, under certain conditions, also lead to university.
    • Other non-university institutions include seminaries, schools of nursing, private business schools, police or fire-fighting academies and flight schools which upon completion of a prescribed program of study offer a certificate or diploma.

    Tap Water

    Tap Water Collection (TWC)

    • Overview:
    • Households are randomly sub-selected to provide a sample or samples of their household tap water, which will be sent for laboratory analysis. One set of samples will be analysed for fluoride concentration, and the other set for levels of certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
    • As well, a small number of households are randomly sub-selected to provide a replicate (duplicate) sample for fluoride and/or VOC analysis. The results of the replicate analyses will be used for quality control purposes.
    • The first respondent interviewed in a two-respondent household is asked to provide the tap water sample. In the rare case where the interview is not taking place in the respondent's home, or when the water is temporarily unavailable, the sample may be taken during the interview with the second respondent.

    TWC_BEG

    • External variables required:
    • Variables from other components:
      • TWVSTATUS: status of VOC water collection at the household level. This variable is initially set to EMPTY for the household. In two-respondent households selected to provide a VOC water sample, TWVSTATUS for the second respondent will be equal to the value of DV_TWVSTATUS set at TWC_D98 during the first respondent's interview.
    • TWFSTATUS: status of fluoride water collection at the household level. This variable is initially set to EMPTY for the household. In two-respondent households selected to provide a fluoride water sample, TWFSTATUS for the second respondent will be equal to the value of DV_TWFSTATUS set at TWC_D98 during the first respondent's interview.
    • Variables from previously completed blocks:
    • WVOCFLG: flag indicating whether the household has been selected to provide a VOC water sample (1=Yes, 2=No)
    • WFLUFLG: flag indicating whether the household has been selected to provide a fluoride water sample (1=Yes, 2=No)
    • WVOCREP: flag indicating whether the household has been selected to provide a replicate VOC water sample (1=Yes, 2=No)
    • WFLUREP: flag indicating whether the household has been selected to provide a replicate fluoride water sample (1=Yes, 2=No)

    Programmer:

    • TWC will be generated, as a tab within the Health component, under the following condition:
    • If (WVOCFLG = 1 or WFLUFLG = 1) and (TWVSTATUS = EMPTY or 0 or 3 or 4) and (TWFSTATUS = EMPTY or 0 or 3 or 4) and (TWVSTATUS<> 1 and TWFSTATUS <> 1).
    • If the tab has been generated and it is not selected by the end of the interview, the application should naturally flow into TWC before the end of the interview (prior to the ADM block).
    • The derived variables DV_TWVSTATUS and DV_TWFSTATUS, set at the end of the Tap Water Collection Block, indicate the outcome of the block for VOCs and fluoride respectively. These variables are carried to the second respondent in two-respondent households as TWVSTATUS and TWFSTATUS.
    • The tab will only reappear for the second respondent in a two-respondent household selected to provide water sample(s) if the first respondent's interview did not take place in the dwelling (TWVSTATUS = 3 or TWFSTATUS = 3) or if there was a temporary problem with the water source as indicated by the interviewer (TWVSTATUS = 4 or TWFSTATUS = 4).

    • NOTE TO DATA USERS:
      If for some reason a water sample cannot not be taken during the interview with the first respondent in a two- respondent household, the interviewer has the option of trying again during the second interview. In this case, TWVSTATUS will equal 4 for the second respondent if the household was selected to provide a VOC sample, and TWFSTATUS will equal 4 for the second respondent if the household was selected to provide a fluoride sample.

    Inter-city indexes of price differentials, of consumer goods and services

    Methodology

    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:

    St. John’s
    Charlottetown-Summerside
    Saint John
    Halifax
    Montréal
    Ottawa
    Toronto
    Regina
    Edmonton
    Vancouver

    Halifax
    Halifax
    Halifax
    Ottawa
    Toronto
    Toronto
    Winnipeg
    Winnipeg
    Winnipeg
    Edmonton

     

    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 is 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 different product indexes within a city are based on the combined consumption expenditures of households living in the 11 cities tracked. As such, one set of weights is used for all 11 cities. Currently, 2011 expenditures are used to derive the weights. These expenditures are expressed in October 2014 prices.

    The Inter-city index for a particular city is compared to the weighted average of all 11 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.

    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 in each city. 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.

    Lessors of Commercial Rents
    Data from this survey is used to produce an index published at the 5-digit NAICS code 53112 – Lessors of Non-Residential Property (except mini-warehouses). Lessors of non-residential buildings are defined as those establishments engaged in the provision of space to others for rent, which are not used as residences or dwellings. Mini-warehouses used by the general public for personal use are excluded from this definition.

    Building Information

    Question 1
    Please verify the pre-filled information on the questionnaire and make any corrections where necessary in the blank section.

    If the building initially selected for the survey is no longer owned or managed by the business, select another building in the same sector (e.g., if the building was initially in the retail sector, select another retail location) and in the same province as previously reported. Select the largest building in terms of gross leasing revenue that is not entirely owner occupied. In the absence of a clear choice, please select one of your largest properties, with prices you feel are representative of the market you service.

    Note that in some instances, large property owners may be sampled multiple times. If multiple surveys are sent to you, buildings should be selected using the same criteria as above, with additional buildings selected from largest to smallest revenue.

    Building Name: (R0100)
    The name of the building that has been chosen through sampling, or chosen by the respondent as the largest gross leasing revenue or most representative. If the building does not have a name, this cell can be left blank.

    Number and street: (R0101)
    Street address for the chosen building.

    City: (R0102)
    City for the chosen building.

    Province or State: (R0103)
    Province for the chosen building.

    Year Constructed: (R0200)
    Year Constructed for the chosen building.

    Number of floors: (R0400)
    The total number of above ground floors, including the main floor.

    Total leasable square footage of the building: (R0500)
    Total amount of square feet, for the entire building, that is available for lease to tenants, whether or not the space is currently occupied. This number does not include owner occupied square footage.

    Example: A building which has 10,000 square feet available for lease, 7,000 square feet leased by tenants and 1,000 square feet owner occupied, has 9,000 square feet available for lease.

    Total SQFT-Owner Occupied = Total SQFT Available
    10,000-1,000=9,000

    Total leasable square footage occupied by owner: (R0501)
    Total amount of square feet that is considered owner occupied, which otherwise could be leased to a tenant.

    Question 2
    How would you classify this building based on the highest gross leasing revenue during the reference quarter? Please select only one.

    Office building: (R0900–1)
    This includes high-rise or low-rise office buildings, regardless of whether they are general office buildings, financial office buildings or medical office buildings.

    Retail building: (R0900–2)

    • Enclosed shopping centre
      A shopping centre where the majority of individual stores are accessed from an indoor common area.
    • Open shopping centre
      A shopping centre whose stores are accessed from the outdoors and there is no indoor common area that allows access to all stores. This includes strip malls and convenience centres.
      Note: for the shopping centre configurations described above, if the majority of stores are accessed only from the outside select Open shopping centre, if most of the stores can be accessed through a common area select Enclosed shopping centre.
    • Commercial building (excluding shopping centres)
      This includes all commercial or retail buildings that do not fall under the definition of shopping centres. Examples include retail stores (e.g. big box stores not attached to a shopping centre), restaurants, car dealerships, etc.

    Industrial building or Warehouse: (R0900-3)
    This includes heavy manufacturing buildings, light manufacturing and assembly buildings, research and development buildings, and warehouse and distribution buildings. Mini-warehouses used by the general public for personal use, are excluded from this definition.

    Other: (R0900-4)
    If the building does not belong to any of the above categories, please list it.

    Tenant and Rent Information

    Please note Question D3 & D4 are identical to the information below and are only included if the information for the previous quarter is missing.

    Question 3 (D3)

    a) How many tenants occupied space in the building at the beginning of each month? C1000 C2000 C3000

    This includes all tenants who occupied space in the building at the beginning of each month.

    b) What was the total square footage occupied by all tenants (ft2)? C1100 C2100 C3100

    This is the total square footage of occupied space for all tenants in the selected building excluding common areas and parking.

    c) What was the total monthly Net Effective Rent (NER) charged ($)? C1200 C2200 C3200

    For the purposes of this survey, monthly net effective rent is the rent charged monthly to tenants to physically occupy space in the building, including any inducements (e.g. rent free periods, tenant improvement allowances, lease buyout values, signing bonuses or volume) and excluding all operating costs or additional rents, etc.
    Charged rent is the amount that the tenant is contractually obligated to pay, not the amount collected by the lessor in that particular month.
    Operating costs and additional rents not to be included are: utilities (heat, water, electricity, etc.), insurance, taxes of all kinds, common area maintenance (cleaning, repairs, garbage disposal, janitorial services, etc.), elevator expenses, installation of communications equipment, management fees or commissions, parking and storage revenues.

    Example:
    Contracted Rent (per month) = $15,000
    Inducements, incentives or concessions = $50,000
    Lease length = 60 months

    Monthly Net Effective Rent = ($15,000 x 60 months) - $50,000 (inducements) = $850,000 over the length of the lease / 60 months = $14,166.67 per month.Add the monthly NERs together to report for the entire building.

    Note: Net effective rent may already include past rent free periods as well as inducements/ incentives which were amortized over the life of the lease for which they were issued.

    *** Please ensure that monthly figures are reported for net effective rent. Any yearly amounts must be divided by 12 (months) to get the monthly net effective rent. ***

    d) What was the dollar value of percentage rent, if applicable ($)? C1300 C2300 C3300

    This type of rent charged occurs most often in retail, and is defined as a portion of a tenant’s revenue paid to the lessor from an event or the standard operation of a business. Please indicate the dollar amount (or best estimate) and not the percentage.

    Example:
    If a retail store in a mall must pay 2% of sales as percentage rent and had reached $100,000 in sales for a particular month, the store would be required to pay $2,000 in addition to any Net Effective Rent negotiated in the lease.

    $100,000 x 0.02 = $2,000

    Question 4 (D4)

    Please comment on any large change(s) between the months listed above.

    In order to assist Statistics Canada, please give a brief description on any change of 10% or more for each of the following questions:

    Reason(s) for changes greater than approximately 10% in the number of tenants who occupied the building: R4100, C4100
    For example:

    • After holidays, reduction in mall tenants.
    • Construction related issues.

    Reason(s) for changes greater than approximately 10% in total square feet occupied by tenants: R4200, C4200
    For example:

    • Renovation increased square footage from 1,500 to 2,000 for tenant.
    • Owner occupied 500 square feet
    • Loss of large tenant

    Reason(s) for changes greater than approximately 10% in monthly net effective rent: R4300, C4300
    For example:

    • Renegotiation of lease for major tenant.
    • Loss of tenant decreased NER by $1,000.

    Reason(s) for changes greater than approximately 10% in percentage rent: R4400, C4400
    For example:

    • High revenues during “Back-to-School” shopping.
    • Increase in percentage rents peak shopping times

    Introduction

    This introduction provides an overview of the process of collecting scientific expenditures data. Definitions and explanatory notes relating to natural sciences and engineering, scientific and technological activities, and other terms used are given in subsequent sections.

    Since 1973, Statistics Canada has been collecting detailed expenditure and full-time equivalent data on scientific activities of provincial research organizations. These data, coupled with data from other surveys, have been used by policy analysts in federal and provincial governments, research managers and the media to elaborate on the provincial scientific activities.

    Intramural research and development expenditures are a direct input into the Canadian gross domestic expenditures on research and development (GERD) indicators.

    Expenditures on research and development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) are subdivided into “current expenditures” and “capital expenditures”. Current expenditures indicate the “where” and “by whom” the activities are performed. (e.g., internally by the organization or by external performers).

    Personnel are allocated to research and development or related scientific activities, and distributed into the following categories: scientific and professional personnel, supporting personnel, and other.

    1. Total scientific and technological expenditures by activity in the natural sciences and engineering.

    Definitions and explanations of terms

    Natural sciences and engineering includes disciplines concerned with understanding, exploring, developing or utilizing the natural world. Included are such disciplines as the engineering, mathematical, life and physical sciences.

    The questionnaire covers two consecutive fiscal years and the headings for both years are identical. One set of definitions/explanations therefore suffices.

    Actual and preliminary expenditures on scientific and technological activities are to be classified according to the type of scientific activity and who performed or will perform the scientific activity (intramural or extramural).

    Scientific and technological (S&T) activities are required for the generation, dissemination or initial application of the new S&T knowledge. The central activity is scientific research and experimental development (R&D). In addition there are a number of activities closely related to R&D , and are termed related scientific activities (RSA). The RSA identified as being appropriate for the provincial research organization in the natural sciences and engineering are: scientific data collection, information services, and special services and studies.

    1. Research and development (R&D)

    Research and experimental development – creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.

    In this survey, the term research and development (R&D ) is synonymous with research and experimental development.

    The basic criterion for distinguishing R&D from related scientific activities is the presence in R&D of an appreciable element of novelty and the resolution of scientific and/or technological uncertainty. New knowledge, products or processes are sought. The work is normally performed by, or under the supervision of, persons with postgraduate degrees in the natural sciences and engineering.

    An R&D project generally has three characteristics:

    • a substantial element of uncertainty, novelty and innovation;
    • a well-defined project design; and
    • a report on the procedures and results of the project.

    Examples:

    • Special investigation of a particular mortality in order to establish the side effects of certain medical treatments.
    • The investigation of new methods of measuring temperature is research as is the study and development of new systems and techniques for interpreting the data.
    • The development of new methods of identifying tree species and determining if they are diseased.
    • The creation of a new transportation system as a prototype and the technical evaluation of its operations.

    R&D is generally carried out by specialized R&D units. However, an R&D project may also involve the use of non R&D facilities (e.g., testing grounds), the purchase or construction of specialized equipment and materials, and the assistance of other units. Costs of such items, attributable to the project, are to be considered R&D costs.

    R&D units may also be engaged in non R&D activities such as technical advisory services, testing, or construction of special equipment for other units. So far as is practical, the effort devoted to such operations should be excluded from R&D .

    Intramural (internal) R&D

    Intramural (internal) R&D is defined as all expenditures for R&D performed within your organization by your personnel during a specific period, whatever the source of funds.

    Current expenditures - includes costs (expenditures) incurred for scientific activities carried out by in-house personnel including salaries and contributions to employee benefit plans (e.g. pension); materials and supplies; contract payments to contractors working on site within your organization’s premises; as well as costs for personnel engaged in the administration of extramural (external) R&D contracts, grants and contributions.

    Capital expenditures – expenditures on construction, acquisition or preparation of land, buildings, machinery and equipment are capital expenditures. All other expenditures are current expenditures.

    Extramural (external) R&D

    Extramural (external) payments are made by the provincial research organizations for R&D activities performed by extramural sectors and these sectors are defined as follows:

    Business enterprise – business and government enterprises including public utilities and government-owned firms. Incorporated consultants providing scientific and engineering services are also included. Industrial research institutes located at Canadian universities are considered to be in the higher education sector.

    Higher education – composed of all universities, colleges of technology and other institutes of post-secondary education, whatever their source of finance or legal status. It also includes all research institutes, experimental stations and clinics operating under the direct control of, or administered by, or associated with, the higher education establishments.

    Hospitals and health organizations – Canadian hospitals and health organizations which are not part of university medical schools.

    Federal, provincial and municipal governments – departments and agencies of these governments. Government enterprises, such as provincial utilities are included in the business enterprise sector.

    Other Canadian performers – include Canadian non-profit institutions that are not serving the health field or business enterprise sector; individuals or organizations in Canada not belonging to any of the above sectors, and all foreign government agencies, foreign companies (including foreign subsidiaries of Canadian firms), international organizations, non-resident foreign nationals and Canadians studying or teaching abroad.

    Extramural expenditures include:

    Contract payments to an outside institution or individual performing R&D .

    R&D grants and contributions – awards to organizations or individuals for the conduct of R&D and intended to benefit the recipients.

    1. Related scientific activities (RSA)

    Related scientific activities involve the generation, dissemination and application of scientific and technological knowledge. The kinds of related scientific activities for the natural sciences and engineering are described below.

    Related scientific activities include:

    Scientific data collection – the gathering, processing, collating and analyzing of data on natural phenomena. These data are normally the results of surveys, routine laboratory analyses or compilations of operating records.

    Data collected as part of an existing or proposed research project are charged to R&D . Similarly, the costs of analyzing existing data as part of a research project are R&D costs, even when the data were originally collected for some other purpose. The development of new techniques for data collection is also to be considered an R&D activity.

    Examples of scientific data collection are: routine geological, hydrographic, oceanographic and topographic surveys; routine astronomical observations; maintenance of meteorological records; and wildlife and fisheries surveys.

    Information services – all work directed to recording, classifying, translating and disseminating scientific and technological information as well as museum services. Included are the operations of scientific and technical libraries, S&T consulting and advisory services, the Patent Office, the publication of scientific journals and monographs, and the organizing of scientific conferences. Grants for the publication of scholarly works are also included.

    General purpose information services or information services directed primarily towards the general public are excluded, as are general departmental and public libraries. When individual budgets exist, the costs of libraries which belong to institutions otherwise entirely classified to another activity, such as R&D , should be assigned to information services. The costs of printing and distributing reports from another activity, such as R&D , are normally attributable to that activity.

    Special services and studies – work directed towards the establishment of national and provincial standards for materials, devices, products and processes; the calibration of secondary standards; non-routine quality testing; feasibility studies and demonstration projects.

    Sub categories under Special services and studies include:

    Testing and standardization – work directed towards the establishment of national and international standards for materials, devices, products and processes, the calibration of secondary standards and non-routine quality testing. The development of new measures for standards, or of new methods of measuring or testing, is R&D and should be reported as such. Exclude routine testing such as monitoring radioactivity levels or soil tests before construction.

    Feasibility studies – technical investigations of proposed engineering projects to provide additional information required to reach decisions on implementation. Besides feasibility studies per se, the related activity of demonstration projects are to be included. Demonstration projects involve the operation of scaled-up versions of a facility or process, or data on factors such as costs, operational characteristics, market demand and public acceptance. Projects called “demonstration projects” but which conform to the definition of R&D should be considered R&D . Once a facility or process is operated primarily to provide a service or to gain revenue, rather than as a demonstration, it should no longer be included with feasibility studies. In all demonstration projects, only the net costs should be considered.

    Administration of extramural RSA programs – the costs, including salaries, of personnel engaged in the administration of contracts and grants and contributions for related scientific activities that are to be performed outside the provincial research organizations.

    NOTE: If any of these activities are performed in direct support of an R&D project or program, include the expenditures in the R&D section above.

    Intramural (internal) RSA expenditures

    Current expenditures – includes costs (expenditures) incurred for related scientific activities carried out by in-house personnel including salaries and contributions to employee benefit plans (e.g. pension); materials and supplies; contract payments to contractors working on site within your organization’s premises; as well as costs for personnel engaged in the administration of extramural (external) R&D contracts, grants and contributions.

    Capital expenditures – expenditures on construction, acquisition or preparation of land, buildings, machinery and equipment are capital expenditures. All other expenditures are current expenditures.

    Extramural RSA expenditures include:

    Contract payments to an outside institution or individual performing RSA.

    RSA grants and contributions – awards to organizations or individuals for the conduct of RSA and intended to benefit the recipients.

    2. Source of funds for intramural (internal) research and development (R&D) in the natural sciences and engineering

    This question identifies the sources of funds for expenditures on research and development performed by your organization. It will help to ensure that work funded from outside the provincial research organization is not overlooked.

    R&D budget of the provincial research organization (operating capital, and grants and contributions) – that portion of the total provincial research organizational budget which was spent on natural science and engineering R&D activities.

    Federal government – all R&D funds from the departments and agencies of the federal government used for natural science and engineering activities.

    Provincial/Territorial government – all R&D funds from the provincial/territorial government used for natural science and engineering activities.

    Canadian business enterprises – all R&D funds from business enterprises used for natural science and engineering activities.

    Other Canadian sources – all R&D funds for natural science and engineering activities from sources not specified above for example, higher education, hospitals and private non-profit organizations.

    Foreign sources – all R&D funds from sources located outside the jurisdictional boundary of Canada.

    3. Personnel in full-time equivalent (FTE) engaged in scientific and technological activities in the natural sciences and engineering

    Full-time equivalent (FTE) – a measure of the time actually devoted to the conduct of scientific activities. Example calculation: an employee who is engaged in scientific activities for half a year has a full-time equivalence of 0.5. If, out of five scientists engaged in R&D work, one works solely on R&D projects and the remaining four devote only one quarter of their working time to R&D , then: FTE = 1 + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 2.0.

    Scientific and professional personnel - FTE in jobs that require at least one academic degree or nationally recognized professional qualification (e.g. professional engineers) as well as those with equivalent experience.

    Supporting personnel (technicians and technologists) – personnel in jobs that require specialized vocational or technical training beyond the secondary education level (e.g., community colleges and technical institutes) as well as those with experience equivalent to this training.

    Other – clerical, secretarial, administrative, operational and other support personnel.

    Census of Agriculture FAQS

    1. Who needs to complete a Census of Agriculture questionnaire?

    Any of the persons responsible for operating a farm or an agricultural operation should fill in a Census of Agriculture questionnaire.

    2. What is the definition of an agricultural operator?

    The Census of Agriculture uses the word operator to define a person responsible for the management and/or financial decisions made in the production of agricultural commodities. An agricultural operation can have more than one operator, such as a husband and wife, a father and son, two sisters, or two neighbours.

    The terms "agricultural operator" and "operation" are used in the census because they are broader in scope than "farmer" and "farm", and better reflect the range of agricultural businesses from which the Census of Agriculture collects data. For example, the term farm would not usually be associated with operations such as maple sugar bushes, mushroom houses, ranches or feedlots.

    3. How is an agricultural operation defined?

    An agricultural operation is defined as a farm, ranch or other operation that produces agricultural products intended for sale.

    The Census of Agriculture considers an agricultural operation to be:

    Any operation that grows or produces any of the agricultural products listed below with the intent to sell these products (it is not necessary to have had sales of the products, only that they are being produced with the intent of selling them).

    Crops:

    • hay and field crops (hay, grains, field peas, beans, potatoes, coriander and other spices, etc.)
    • vegetables (all vegetables, herbs, rhubarb, melons, garlic, gourds, etc.)
    • sod, nursery products and Christmas trees
    • fruits, berries or nuts (apples, other fruit trees, grapes, blueberries and other berries, saskatoons, hazelnuts, etc.)
    • seed

    Poultry:

    • laying hens and pullets
    • layer and broiler breeders
    • broilers, roasters and Cornish
    • turkeys
    • other poultry (geese, ducks, roosters, ostriches, emus, pheasants, quail, pigeons, etc.)
    • commercial poultry hatcheries

    Livestock:

    • cattle and calves
    • pigs
    • sheep and lambs
    • other livestock (horses, goats, llamas, alpacas, rabbits, bison, elk, deer, wild boars, mink, fox, donkeys, mules, chinchillas, etc.)

    Animal products:

    • milk or cream
    • eggs
    • wool
    • fur
    • meat

    Other agricultural products:

    • greenhouse products
    • mushrooms
    • maple products
    • bees owned (for honey or pollination)

    Other products or activities considered agricultural operations according to the Census of Agriculture are:

    • harvesting wild rice
    • sprouting alfalfa or beans
    • growing legal cannabis
    • growing mushrooms on logs in a controlled environment
    • wineries, if they grow any grapes or fruit
    • garden centres if they grow any of their products
    • hay processing or dehydration plants if they grow hay on land they own or lease
    • horse operations that do not sell agricultural products but offer boarding, riding or training services.

    The following are NOT considered agricultural operations according to the Census of Agriculture:
    Operations that harvest or grow only:

    • peat moss
    • top soil
    • gravel
    • fish (wild or aquaculture)
    • silviculture products
    • wild cones, wild Christmas trees, logs, firewood, pulpwood, evergreen boughs, etc.
    • wild berries, wild plants, wild mushrooms, etc.
    • all wild animals
    • racing pigeons
    • worms
    • crickets, rats, mice, etc. for pet stores
    • laboratory animal production
    • all pets (dogs, cats, pot-bellied pigs, guinea pigs, finches, budgies, etc.), including kennels for pets.

    For the Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories only, the following activities qualify as an agricultural operation for the Census of Agriculture:

    • herding wild animals (such as caribou and muskox)
    • breeding sled dogs
    • horse outfitting and rigging
    • harvesting indigenous plants and berries.

    4. Are hobby farms included in the Census of Agriculture?

    Yes. Farms with very low farm revenues—commonly called "hobby" farms—are included as long as the agricultural products produced are intended for sale.

    5. Why do operators of very small operations have to fill in the Census of Agriculture questionnaire?

    The Census of Agriculture enumerates small operations because it is important that the total farm area and the total inventory of all crops, livestock and other agricultural products in Canada be counted. There are many small agricultural operations that as a group contribute significantly to agricultural inventories.

    6. How does the Census of Agriculture benefit operators?

    When an agricultural operator fills out and sends back his or her census questionnaire, it adds another voice to the quarter of a million answers that are reflected in census data. In combination they provide the only definitive statistical picture of Canada's farm sector available to farmers' own organizations and to agriculture policy-makers. The media also interpret census data, bringing current issues to the forefront of public attention.

    Although there are other agriculture surveys, only the Census of Agriculture gives data at the local level. Its community-level data ensure that the issues affecting farmers, farm communities and agricultural operations are included when making decisions that affect them and their livelihood.

    Operators can use census data to make production, marketing and investment decisions.Producer groups and marketing agencies use census data in their non-government organizations to tell Canadians and government how they are doing economically.

    Companies supplying agricultural products and services use the data to determine locations for their service centres.

    Government policy advisors use the data to help develop programs related to safety nets and agricultural workers for the agriculture sector.

    Operators can keep abreast of trends through the analysis of Census of Agriculture data published by the agriculture media.

    Agriculture websites can target their information based on current trends and needs in the sector identified by census data.

    Governments and farm organizations use census data to evaluate the impact of natural disasters on agriculture (such as floods, drought and storms) and react quickly.

    7. What is the legal authority for the Census of Agriculture?

    The mandate to conduct the Census of Agriculture every 10 years comes from the Constitution Act–1867 (formerly the British North America Act [BNA]).

    Over the decades the mandate to conduct a census in the Constitution Act–1867 was augmented by the Statistics Act–1970, which stipulates that
    "A census of agriculture of Canada shall be taken by Statistics Canada

    1. in the year 1971 and in every tenth year thereafter; and
    2. in the year 1976 and in every tenth year thereafter, unless the Governor in Council otherwise directs in respect of any such year, 1970-71-72, c. 15, s. 19."

    8. Is it mandatory to answer and return the questionnaire?

    Yes. Under the Statistics Act, agricultural operators are required to complete a Census of Agriculture form.

    9. Can a person be identified by the information they provide?

    No. All published data are subject to confidentiality restrictions, and any data in which an individual or agricultural operation could be identified are suppressed.

    10. Why does Statistics Canada conduct the Census of Agriculture?

    The Census of Agriculture collects a wide range of data on the agriculture industry such as number of farms and farm operators, farm area, business operating arrangements, land management practices, livestock inventories and crop area, total operating expenses and receipts, farm capital and farm machinery and equipment.

    These data provide a comprehensive picture of the agriculture industry across Canada every five years at the national, provincial and sub-provincial levels.

    11. Why doesn't the Census of Agriculture use sampling?

    The Statistics Act requires that a census of all farm operations in Canada be conducted every five years. Since a census includes, by definition, every farm operation, sampling only a portion of operations would not honour the Act nor would it provide the complete picture a census can.

    The Census of Agriculture is the primary source for small-area data and for survey sampling and it is important that each agricultural operation complete a Census of Agriculture questionnaire, regardless of size or geographic location. Samples are used for making agriculture estimates between census years.

    12. Why aren't there different questionnaires for different types of agricultural operations?

    The Census of Agriculture uses a generalized form for operators across Canada, since all respondents need to answer some questions. Using one form nation-wide ensures consistency across Canada, while tick boxes and different sections for specific types of operations allow operators to answer only those questions pertinent to their type of operation. A single form also keeps development costs down. Every effort is made to keep the questionnaire as concise as possible to minimize respondent burden.

    13. How much does the Census of Agriculture cost?

    The projected total cost for the 2016 Census of Agriculture over the six-year cycle is $46.9 million. An independently conducted Census of Agriculture would cost at least $13 million more in total than it does by combining it with the Census of Population.

    14. Why is the Census of Agriculture taken in May, such a busy time for farmers?

    In this particularly busy and stressful period the arrival of the 2016 Census of Agriculture questionnaire in May might seem ill-timed. But by working with the Census of Population, the Census of Agriculture is afforded an opportunity to save millions of taxpayers' dollars by sharing many aspects of collection, including postal costs and the processing centre. The timing of the larger Census of Population is driven by the need to maximize the number of Canadians who are home during enumeration. During the winter our retired “snowbirds” migrate south, and the moment school lets out many Canadian families with school children go on vacation. These factors have led the Census of Population to decide that May 10 will be Census Day. While it may take farm operators away from their work, filling in the questionnaire yields its own benefits.

    15. Is Statistics Canada conducting a Farm Financial Survey in addition to the Census of Agriculture?

    The Farm Financial Survey is conducted every two years. In 2016, the collection period is in July and August and coincides with the census collection period. To lighten the burden on respondents, overlap with other agriculture surveys is minimized and the sample size is reduced. In 2016 the sample size will be approximately 10,200 farms nationally.

    16. What about my income tax return? The census seems to be asking for exactly the same information that I've already given the government.

    In 2016 respondents must provide only total operating expenses and total sales for their agricultural operation on the Census of Agriculture questionnaire. In order to reduce the response burden for farmers the detailed expense questions were removed from the 2016 Census of Agriculture questionnaire.

    17. Why are other agriculture surveys taken at the same time as the census?

    Because timely information on the agriculture industry is required by governments and other users, it is necessary to conduct sample surveys with a shorter time frame than the census. The Census of Agriculture is a national activity that involves collecting information from every agricultural operation in Canada. The collection, follow-up, quality checks, tabulation and publication of data from such an extensive operation take about one year. The census could not replace small-scale surveys, which have a much more rapid turnaround time. It is also more economical to collect certain types of information on a sample basis, especially if the required data are only for specific provinces or population groups. Once available, Census of Agriculture data are used to benchmark farm surveys.

    18. What other agriculture surveys are being conducted during the 2016 Census window?

    Between mid-April and the end of June Statistics Canada conducts these agriculture surveys:

    • the Maple Survey (sample size approximately 600 in Ontario and New Brunswick)
    • the National Potato Area and Yield Survey (sample size approximately 250 in the Atlantic Region, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia)
    • the Fur Farm Report – Mink and Foxes (sample size approximately 300 nationally)
    • the June Farm Survey (Field Crop Reporting Series) (sample size approximately 24,500 nationally)
    • the July Livestock Survey (sample size approximately 11,000 nationally)
    • the Hay and Straw Prices Survey (Ontario only, sample size approximately 125).

    19. How is response burden being reduced?

    During the Census of Agriculture collection period, the Agriculture Division cancels some smaller surveys, reduces the sample size for others, and minimizes the overlap with big surveys like the Farm Financial Survey.

    Offering farm operators choices in the way they respond to the Census of Agriculture—on paper with return by mail, online, or by telephone—can also make responding easier and faster. A toll-free help line to answer respondents' questions about the Census of Agriculture is also available.

    20. How many agricultural operations were counted in the last Census of Agriculture?

    The 2011 Census of Agriculture recorded 205,730 census farms.

    21. How are Census of Agriculture data used?

    Census of Agriculture data are used by:

    • farm operators, to formulate production, marketing and investment decisions
    • agricultural producer groups, to inform their members about industry trends and developments, to put the viewpoint of operators before legislators and the Canadian public, and to defend their interests in international trade negotiations
    • governments, to make policy decisions concerning agricultural credit, crop insurance, farm support, transportation, market services and international trade
    • Statistics Canada, to produce annual estimates between censuses for the agriculture sector
    • businesses, to market products and services and to make production and investment decisions
    • academics, to conduct research on the agriculture sector
    • the media, to portray the agriculture sector to the broader Canadian public.

    22. What is different about the 2016 Census of Agriculture from 2011?

    The 2016 Census of Agriculture questionnaire contains questions asked in 2011 as well as new ones. Some questions remain unchanged to maintain consistency and comparability of data over time. Other questions have been added or deleted to reflect changes in the agriculture industry. For example:

    • Technology: A new step (section) was added to request the different technologies used on the farm.
    • Direct Marketing: A new step was added to collect information on direct marketing practices farms may have.
    • Succession Planning: A new step (section) was added on whether the farm has a formal, written succession plan, and if so, who the successor would be in that plan.
    • On-farm practices and land features: Several response categories were eliminated to reduce burden on respondents and to simplify the questions on manure, irrigation and land practices
    • Land inputs: A new response category was added: Trace minerals and nutrients (copper, manganese, etc.)
    • Organic: This category was simplified to reduce burden on respondents and to allow for emerging issues, such as succession planning, to be added to the questionnaire.
    • Renewable energy producing systems: A new step was added to collect information on which renewable energy producing systems, if any, are being used on farms.
    • Farm operating expenses: Only the total farm operating expenses is requested in 2016. All the detailed expenses have been removed from the questionnaire.

    A detailed explanation of other changes, deletions or additions to the 2016 questionnaire is available by step in the order they appear on the 2016 questionnaire. Please consult “The 2016 Census of Agriculture in detail ”. These changes are a result of user consultations and testing as well as the goal of reducing respondent burden for 2016. Some questions were slightly re-worded in response to suggestions that doing so would make these questions more understandable and easier to answer.

    23. Does the Census of Agriculture ask any questions that could be used to assess farming's impact on the environment?

    Many of the questions on the census can contribute in some way to forming a picture of Canadian farms and the manner in which they shape the environment.

    The Census of Agriculture asks questions about farming practices that conserve soil fertility and prevent erosion, pesticide and fertilizer use, and the land features used to prevent wind or water damage. There is a section on manure use, another on irrigation, one on tillage practices and one on baling crop residue. Data from these questions present a picture of farmers' relationship with the environment and, by evaluating and comparing the data over time, analysts can assess how operators are adapting their methods and fulfilling their role as stewards of the land.

    24. Where will Census of Agriculture data be processed?

    Once completed paper questionnaires are received by Canada Post, they go to a central processing centre in the National Capital Region where they are scanned and electronically imaged for data capture. Questionnaires submitted online to Statistics Canada are captured automatically. Processing Census of Agriculture questionnaires includes many checks and balances to ensure high quality data. Its many steps—including several kinds of edits (clerical, subject-matter, geographic), matching and unduplicating individual farms, adjusting for missing data, validating data by comparing them to several benchmarks, and providing estimates—have evolved into a sophisticated system that ensures high-quality data. The data that emerge at the other end are stored on a database and used to generate publications and users' custom requests.

    25. What steps are taken to ensure that all agricultural operations are counted?

    In 2016, Canada Post delivers an invitation letter to fill out a Census of Agriculture questionnaire on the internet to addresses where it is believed a farm operator lives. The addresses are determined from Statistics Canada’s business register, populated from the previous census and other agriculture surveys. Census of Population questionnaires were delivered by Canada Post as well, but may have been delivered by an enumerator in rural areas.

    On the Census of Population questionnaire respondents are asked if there is a farm operator living in the household. This question triggers a follow-up from Head Office to help ensure that new farms are identified and counted.

    Respondents were able to complete their questionnaires on paper, by telephone or via the Internet. Telephone follow-up will be conducted with those respondents who received invitation letters or questionnaires but did not return them.

    In addition, the data processing sequence includes several safeguards that can find “missing” farms that were counted in 2011 but did not return a questionnaire in 2016 or, conversely, farms that did not exist in 2011 but have been identified on subsequent agriculture surveys since then.

    26. When will the 2016 Census of Agriculture data be available to the public, and how can I keep track of releases?

    First release: May 10, 2017 from the Census of Agriculture database.

    Statistics Canada's official release bulletin, The Daily, lists the full range of census data with highlights on major trends and findings.

    Data from both the Census of Population and Census of Agriculture will appear in the general media and farm media. Users may also contact Statistics Canada general enquiries toll free number at 1-800-263-1136.

    27. Why does it take a year to release results from the Census of Agriculture?

    The Census of Agriculture is a national activity that involves collecting information from every agricultural operation in Canada. The collection, follow-up, quality checks, processing, tabulation and publication of data from such an extensive operation take about one year.

    All of these steps must be made to assure that data are accurate, even at very low levels of geography. This is critical since census data are used to benchmark estimates and draw survey samples between censuses.

    28. For what geographic areas are Census of Agriculture data available?

    Census of Agriculture data are available for Canada, the provinces and territories, and for areas corresponding to counties, crop districts and rural municipalities. User-defined areas are also available by calling Statistics Canada general enquiries toll free number at 1-800-263-1136. All tabulated data are subjected to confidentiality restrictions, and any data that could result in the disclosure of information concerning any particular individual or agricultural operation are suppressed.
