Canadian Cancer Registry

Age-standardization

Since the age structure of a population is a major determinant of its cancer burden, direct comparisons of basic rates across geographic regions or time periods would be misleading if age composition differed. The Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) uses age-standardization to remove the impact of age composition from comparisons across geographic regions or time periods. Specifically, the July 1, 1991 Canadian population is used as the standard population (see Table below), and the age-standardized rates can be interpreted as the rates that would have been observed if the populations of interest had the same age distribution as the standard population.

General Information

What is the Survey of Environmental Goods and Services and why is it important?

The Survey of Environmental Goods and Services (formerly known as the Environment Industry Survey) is conducted every second year to obtain detailed and accurate data on environmental goods and services, which are recognized as being an important contributor to the Canadian economy. The data from the survey are aggregated with information from other sources to produce official estimates of national and provincial/territorial economic activity related to environmental protection. Your responses are important to produce reliable statistics that may be used by businesses, non-profit organizations and all levels of government to make informed decisions in many areas.

The information from this survey can be used by your business to plan marketing strategies or to prepare business plans for investors. Governments may use the data to develop national and regional economic policies and to develop programs to promote domestic and international competitiveness. The data may also be used by trade associations, business analysts and investors to study the economic performance and characteristics of your industry.

How were you chosen to receive the Survey of Environmental Goods and Services?

Establishments believed to manufacture or import any of the selected environmental goods or provide the environmental services described in this questionnaire are being asked to complete this survey.

To protect the confidentiality of data provided by respondents, only data in aggregate form are available for use.

Your assistance in completing this survey is vital to the estimation of Canadian economic activity in the area of environmental protection.

Is it a legal requirement to complete this survey?

Yes. The Survey of Environmental Goods and Services is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S19. This Act stipulates that the completion of questionnaires issued under the Act is mandatory. A copy of the Statistics Act can be found on the Department of Justice website (www.justice.gc.ca).

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon.

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

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

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Instructions

Establishment covered by this questionnaire

For options, enter the number of contracts times the contract size times the premium. Option on stock

Example: 50 IBM Call Jan 09 at 130 at 8¾ (market price at date of survey) Calculation: Number of contracts (50) X contract size ($100) X premium 50*100*(8¾) = $43,750 US$ → 59,763 Cdn$ (43,750*1.366)

Option on index

Example: 20 S&P 500 Call May 655 at 14½ (market price at date of survey)
Calculation: Number of contracts (20) X contract size ($500) X premium
20*500*(14½) = $145,000 US$ → 198,070 Cdn$ (145,000*1.366)

For futures :

Bond contracts: Enter the number of contracts times the contract size times spot price less exercise price (strike price).

Example: 20 / 5 year US treasury.

Strike price or exercise price = 98.25 spot price = 97.75

Calculation: number of contracts (20) X contract size ($100,000) X (spot-strike)
20*100,000*(.9775-.9825) = -$10,000 US$ → 13,660 Cdn$ (10,000*1.366)

Index contracts: Enter the number of contracts times' future value multiplier times' spot price less exercise price (strike price).

Example: 50 S&P 500

Calculation: Number of contracts (10) X future value multiplier ($500) X (spot-strike) 10*500*(655.86- 659.60) = -18,700 US$ -25,544 Cdn$ (18,700*1.366)

Currency: Enter the number of contracts times' future value multiplier times' spot price less exercise price (strike price).

Example: 20 Euro 1.4877

Calculation: Number of contracts (20) X future value multiplier ($125,000) X (spot-strike) 20*125,000*(1.5821- 1.5754) = 16,750 Euro → 27,185 Cdn$ (16,750*1.6230)

Enter the market value in excess of (less than) settlement amount in Cdn$.

For cash:

Enter the Canadian dollar value of your holdings.

For forwards, leave this field empty.
For cash, leave this field empty.

Market price should be used to report all holdings of securities. All securities should be converted to Canadian dollars using the exchange rate prevailing at the close of business of the surveyed period. Please indicate any fund not converted into Canadian dollars in the confirmation of funds form.

For equities ( including warrants and rights):

For stock listed companies, the market price of your holding should be calculated using the market price prevailing on the stock exchange at the close of the surveyed period.

For unlisted enterprises, if a market price is not available at the close of the business of the surveyed period, estimate the market price of your holding of equity securities by using one of the following methods:

  • a recent transaction price;
  • director's valuation; or
  • net asset value (net asset value is equal to total assets, including intangibles, less non-equity liabilities and the paid up value of non-voting shares. Assets and liabilities should be recorded at current, rather than historical value).

For debts and money market instruments:

Debt securities should be recorded (as a percentage) using one of the market valuation methods listed below:

  • a quoted traded market price at the close of the business of the surveyed period;
  • the net present value of the expected stream of future payments/receipts associated with the securities;
  • for unlisted securities, the price used to value securities for accounting or regulatory purposes, etc.; or
  • for discount, deep discount or zero coupon securities, the issue price plus amortisation of the discount.
  • Comparative security valuation approach

For options:

For exchange traded options, the market price of your holding is the market price prevailing on the exchange at the close of the surveyed period.

For OTC options and exchange-traded options, if a market price is not available at the close of the business of the surveyed period, estimate the market price of your holding by using one of the following methods:

  • a recent transaction price;
  • director's valuation

For futures:

For futures, provide the market price. The market price is obtained by taking the spot price of the underlying asset minus the strike price (or exercise price.) As per the example shown in field 9 for futures, the spot price less the exercise price must be expressed like this: .9775 (spot)-.9825 (exercise) = -.005

For forwards:

Leave this field blank.

For cash:

Leave this field blank.

Field 11: Quantity

For equities (including warrants and rights), enter the number of shares.

For units of pooled, mutual and investment funds, enter the number of units held rounded to the nearest unit.

For debts, enter the face value held in the currency of denomination. For asset-backed securities, enter the remaining face value of principal still outstanding.

For money market instruments, enter the face value at maturity.

For options, and futures, enter the number of contracts.

For forwards, enter the amount receivable at the expiration of the contract in original currency.

For cash, leave this field blank

Field 12: Average Cost - Enter the average cost (historical cost) of the security held.

Field 13: Exchange Rate - Enter the exchange rate used to convert the currency of denomination in field 9. This rate should be the one prevailing at the close of the surveyed period. Ex: Market value of US stock converted in CDN$ (field 9) over market value of US stock in US$ denomination currency.

Field 14: Currency of denomination - Currency codes appear in Appendix 2.

Field 15: Amount on loan - Face value or share units of field 11 (in Cdn$) sold under loan repurchase agreements or lent under security lending arrangements.

For debt, enter the face value of field 11 sold under repurchase agreements and security lending arrangements.

For stocks, enter the number of shares of field 11 sold under security lending arrangements.

Field 16: Country of Issuer - Enter the code from Appendix 2 for the country of residence of the issuing entity of the security.

Field 17: Issue Date - Enter the original date of issue for this security in the following format: MMDDYYYY.

Field 18: Maturity Date - Enter the date on which this security matures in the format: MMDDYYYY. For a security with a call provision, enter the final maturity date, not the call date.

Field 19: Type of coupon - Fixed (F) or Variable (V)

Enter "F" for fixed rate or "V" for variable or floating rate.

Field 20: Coupon or Dividend

Forbonds enter the annual coupon rate. For variable rate, enter the rate that prevailed at the end of the surveyed period rounded to four decimal places.

Forequities, enter the annual value of the dividend. For zero coupon bonds, enter 0.0000.

Data quality, concepts and methodology: Apartment building construction price indexes

(Table 327-0044, 2002=100, quarterly, 1988 to present)

Introduction

These indexes measure changes in contractors' selling prices of apartment building construction. The indexes relate to both general and trade contractors' work and exclude the cost of land, land assembly, design, development and real estate fees.

Characteristics

General

In conjunction with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a typical or model apartment building that had been constructed was selected and 1981 pricing was obtained. Sample items of work-in-place to be subsequently priced were taken from this model. All prices are collected directly by Statistics Canada surveyors and include costs of materials, labour, equipment, relevant federal (until 1991) and provincial taxes and contractors' overhead and profit. Value Added Taxes such as the Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Quebec Sales Tax (QST) and the Harmonised Sales Tax (HST) are not included.

Frequency of pricing

Commencing in the first quarter of 1988, prices are collected quarterly for six census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and the Ontario part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA. In the period from 1981 to 1987 prices were collected in the first quarter of each year in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. In 1986 and 1987 price movement was interpolated to establish annual figures.

Prices used

The prices for work-in-place are obtained through phone surveys with sub-contractors and general contractors, who construct apartment buildings, on the basis that they are bidding on a fixed specification and quantity under current market conditions. Prices include contractors' overheads and profit. Prices for certain materials, labour rates, rental of equipment, municipal charges and sales taxes are obtained from a variety of secondary sources; particularly for the mechanical and electrical trades.

Weight base

Weights are derived from a detailed cost analysis of a model apartment building and expressed in 2005 price levels.

Index formula

A fixed weighted formula is used at the CMA level. A Chain- Laspeyres index formula is used for the seven CMA composite levels, for which the weights are derived from building permit data for the previous three years, valued at the price levels of the fourth quarter of the last year.

Revisions

The figures of the most recently published indexes are subject to revision but all other figures are final.

Historical data

There are limited annual data for four CMAs (Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver) relating to the first quarter of each year from 1981 to 1987 inclusive.
