July 3, 2008

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is currently being revised. The revised NAICS will be available in 2012, and will be known as NAICS  2012.

At this time, Statistics Canada is soliciting input from data producers and data users to ensure their needs continue to be met by NAICS . Proposals for changes to NAICS should be submitted to standards-normes@statcan.gc.ca. Guidelines for the revision of NAICS classes are presented below to assist you in providing input into the NAICS revision process.

Input is requested by September 30th, 2009. Decisions on proposed revisions will be made by January 2011, following a review within Statistics Canada, with other government departments and non-government entities, and with our counterparts at the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica (INEGI) and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) of the United States acting on behalf of the Office of Management and Budget. Statistics Canada, INEGI and ECPC collaborated on NAICS to make the industry statistics produced by the three countries comparable; they will continue to do so for NAICS  2012. You may send more than one submission, if that enables you to comment earlier.

Guidelines

Submissions may be made for any industry, existing or newly created. Proposals for the modification of an existing industry should contain information on the rationale for the change and demonstrate an improvement to its description. Proposals for the addition of a new industry should contain information on the grouping criteria for creating the industry, the relative size of the proposed industry and its economic significance. This input will also be used to assess confidentiality issues and costs of change to data producers and data users, and to negotiate with Mexico and the United States.

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2007

Please consider the following criteria when preparing your input to the revision of the North American Industry Classification System.

Criteria for creating new classes or updating current classes

The criteria for creating new classes or updating current classes are as follows. Proposed classes should:

  1. Meet the process-based conceptual framework agreed to by Canada, Mexico and the United States for grouping producing units. The principle underlying NAICS is that producing units that use similar production processes should be grouped together in the classification ( i.e. the industry is based on transformation process, and not products.)
  2. Be consistent with classification principles of mutual exclusivity, exhaustiveness, and homogeneity of units within classes.
  3. Have empirical significance, that is, classes should produce gross revenues of $500 million, be collectable and linked to a funded program for data collection.
  4. Be relevant, that is, they must be of analytical interest, result in data useful to users and be based on appropriate statistical research and subject matter expertise.
  5. Be given special attention as far as the following industries are concerned and for which lower revenue requirements will be considered:
    • new and emerging industries;
    • services industries;
    • industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies.

2010 Annual return of Radio survey licensee

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2010

Confidential when completed

Collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S19.

Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under the Statistics Act.

Survey objective

This survey collects financial and operating data for the statistical measurement and analysis of the broadcasting distribution industry. These data will be aggregated to produce national and regional estimates of the performance of your industry. Those estimates are used by the regulator and policy departments, the private sector, international organizations, academics, analysts and the general public to better understand this sector's contribution to the Canadian economy. Selected results will be published in Statistics Canada Catalogue No. 56-208-X

Confidentiality statement

This survey is conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada 1985, Chapter S19. Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under this Act. Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing or releasing any statistics which would divulge information obtained from this survey relating to any identifiable business without the previous written consent of that business. The data on this questionnaire will be treated in confidence, used for statistical purposes and published in aggregate form only. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Please note that Statistics Canada does not share any individual responses with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.

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 must 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 this section, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want to share your data and returning it in a separate envelope addressed to: Chief, Information technologies section, Business Special Surveys and Technology Statistics Division, Statistics Canada, Main Building, 150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0T6.

For this survey, there are section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as well as with the Department of Canadian Heritage, the “Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine du Québec” and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.

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

Note: As well there is a Section 12 agreement with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The CRTC requires this information under the authority of the Broadcasting Act and the regulations and conditions of licence thereunder. Because of this Act, you do not have the right to refuse to share your information with the CRTC. It will retain a copy of the questionnaire thus satisfying the requirements of the Television Broadcasting Regulations 1987 and Radio Regulations 1986 or conditions of licence for all broadcasters in Canada to provide this type of information to the commission on or before November 30 of each year for the year ending on the previous August 31.

Change of ownership

When a change of ownership has been approved by the CRTC, within 90 days thereof, the former licensee will file with Statistics Canada a copy of an annual return covering the period of operations from September 1 to the day of transfer.  The new licensee will file an annual return from the day of transfer to August 31. In some cases, the new licensee elects to file an annual return for the full broadcast year. In either case, the licensee should indicate on the return, which period they are filing.
