Households and the Environment Survey, 2021: Energy Use

General Information

Purpose

The Households and the Environment Survey (HES) measures the environmental practices and behaviours of Canadian households that relate to the condition of our air, water and soils. The survey was also designed to collect data to develop and improve three key environmental indicators: air quality, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions.

Authority

This survey is conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19. While completion of this questionnaire is voluntary, data from your household are essential if the results of this survey are to be accurate.

Introduction

Your household was recently contacted by Statistics Canada to ask information about activities that relate to the environment. In order to fully understand the impacts that the household sector has on our water, air, soils and resource use, information relating to the characteristics and energy use of your dwelling are needed. The survey results will be a valuable source of information to be used in the development of energy efficiency initiatives and to support energy conservation practices in Canada. A definition of being energy efficient is using technology or behavior to perform a certain task or function at the same level of quality with less energy. The efficient use of energy can be used to moderate the growth in energy demand and reduce associated emissions and often leads to lower energy bills.

This survey asks questions about home heating and cooling, appliances, the physical features of your dwelling, and your household's energy consumption.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical or research purposes.

Confidentiality

The Statistics Act protects the confidentiality of information collected by Statistics Canada.

Data Sharing Agreement

To avoid duplication in surveys and to provide consistent statistics, Statistics Canada has entered into an agreement under section 12 of the Statistics Act with Environment and Climate Change Canada, Natural Resources Canada, British Columbia Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and National Research Council Canada for the sharing of information from this survey.

For more information about this agreement, please refer to page 6 of this questionnaire.

To complete your paper questionnaire:

Use a blue or black ballpoint pen;
Print clearly in capitals in the middle of the box as follows;
If you make an error, cross out the character(s) that is (are) wrong, and continue;
Mark circles with an "X", as follows:
To change an answer in a circle, black out the incorrect response and mark the correct one;
When we use the word "You", we are referring to you or anyone else in your household who lives in the dwelling.

The only data that we will collect from the energy providers will be the energy consumption amount for the 2021 calendar year. No financial information (payments amounts, payments status, etc.) will be collected.

The only information that Statistics Canada will give to your energy provider will be:

Your name
Your address
Your account number

No other information that you provide for this survey will be given to the energy provider.

5. Please read and sign the following authorization.

The account holder authorizes Statistics Canada to release the account numbers and the name of the account holders to the energy companies listed below.

The account holder authorizes the companies below to provide Statistics Canada with the consumption of energy used by the dwelling identified on this questionnaire for the 2021 calendar year.

Canadian government finance statistics for individual municipalities and other local public administrations: Differences from provincial, territorial and local governments (PTLG) data

Provincial, territorial and local governments (PTLG) data is structured to enable comparison across provinces and territories. When creating statistics that reflect the combination of provincial, territorial and local governments, it is necessary to perform consolidation which involves eliminating all transactions and debtor-creditor relationships among the units being consolidated. At the PTLG level, the local government sector is consolidated with itself, and with the provincial sector. For this presentation of municipal data only, consolidation has not been performed for either the local government sector or the provincial sector.
For the Canadian Government Finance Statistics (CGFS) program, sector adjustments are done at the local level to remove the operations of local government business enterprises. The data is split into two sectors; the local government sector, and the local government business enterprises sector. To aid in the comparison of data only at the local level, the removal of local government enterprise data has not been performed. In instances where LGBE data is not already fully consolidated, the data for the LGBE has been made available.
CGFS requires that transactions in assets and liabilities are measured at market prices, and that the value of non-financial assets and related consumption of fixed capital assets is replaced with estimates from the Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts (CSMA). These adjustments are not reflected in this local government data presentation.

Canadian Vital Statistics – Divorce Database: Glossary

Age

Age at the last birthday preceding divorce.

Applicant, respondent and joint applications

In the Divorce Act of 1985, the applicant is the spouse who applied for a divorce. The applicant's spouse is the respondent. It is also possible for both spouses to collaborate in the submission of a joint application; they are then joint applicants.

Previously, in the Divorce Act of 1968, the petitioner was the person (husband or wife) who petitioned Parliament for a divorce. The petitioner's spouse was the respondent. Joint applications were not possible.

Central Registry of Divorce Proceedings (CRDP)

The source of vital statistics on divorces in Canada. The CRDP was established within the Department of Justice Canada pursuant to the Divorce Act of 1968. It is responsible for recording divorce proceedings in all provinces and territories and has been created mainly to eliminate duplicate divorce proceedings.

People seeking a divorce from their spouse must first complete a divorce application and file it with a court. The content of this application varies across provinces and territories. Prior to 1986, the application had to be completed by only one of the spouses. Since 1986, it can be completed jointly by both spouses.

Based on the information contained in the application, the registrar of the court then fills a standard form and sends it to the CRDP. The CRDP ensures that no other divorce proceedings have been initiated for the same marriage elsewhere in the country. If no duplicate proceeding is found, the CRDP informs the court that the proceeding is valid. Finally, once the proceeding is complete, the court informs the CRDP of its disposition.

The information that the CRDP is legally mandated to collect from the court registrars has changed over time. Currently, the main statistical data items included in the CRDP database are:

Court where the divorce was registered
Date the divorce application was filed
Applicant (or joint applicants) for divorce
Date of birth
Sex
Date of marriage
Date the divorce was granted.

Formerly (before 2013), the CRDP also collected information on:

Legal marital status at the time of marriage
Date of separation
Reasons for marriage breakdown
Number of dependents
Child custody orders.

All information about the latter topics held by the CRDP for divorces granted before 2013 was purged by the Department of Justice. The information held at Statistics Canada has been archived.

Date of divorce

The date of divorce is the date (day, month and year) at which the divorce is granted, that is, the date it becomes effective. There is sometimes a one-month delay between the date of the court decision and the date the divorce is granted.

Divorce

Divorce is the legal dissolution of a legal marriage. Included are all divorces granted by Canadian courts to Canadian and non-Canadian residents whether their marriage was registered in Canada or another country. In general, when applying for a divorce, the applicant must reside in Canada, but the respondent may reside outside Canada. Both spouses may reside outside Canada when the divorce is later granted by the court. Divorces of Canadian residents that have been granted in another country (where their spouse resides) are not included.

Divorce rates:

Crude divorce rate

The number of divorces per 1,000 population.

Divorce rate

The number of persons who divorce during a given year per 1,000 married persons (including those that are separated but still legally married) as of July 1 of the same year. Also called the "refined divorce rate" or the "marital divorce rate". It can be computed for all persons together or separately for each sex or gender.

Age-specific divorce rate

The number of persons who divorce in a particular age group during a given year per 1,000 married persons (including those that are separated but still legally married) in the same age group as of July 1 of the same year. It can be computed for all persons together or separately for each sex or gender. The age groups used are five-year age groups starting at age 15 with a last open age group at 65 years and over (15-19, 20-24, 25-29…, 60-64, 65+).

Age-standardized divorce rate

Age standardization removes the effects of differences in the age structure of populations across areas and over time. Age-standardized divorce rates show the number of divorcing persons who would have been observed in a given area and time per 1,000 married persons if the age structure of the population of that area and time had been the same as the age structure of a specified standard population. An estimate of the legally married Canadian population as of July 1, 1991 (sexes combined), is used as the standard population. The age-standardized divorce rate can be computed for all persons together or separately for each sex or gender, but always using the same standard population.

The formula for the age-standardized divorce rate (ASDR) for 1,000 married persons is:

where:

$i$ is a five-year age group from 15-19 years to 65 years and over
$r_{i}$ is the age-specific divorce rate for age group i in a given area and time
$p_{i}^{s t a n d}$ is the number of persons of age i in the standard population
$p_{15 +}^{s t a n d}$ is the number of persons aged 15 and over in the standard population.

Duration-specific divorce rate

The divorce rate in a given year for a specific marriage cohort. For example, the 2008 divorce rate for persons married in 2004 (that is the 2004 marriage cohort) is calculated by dividing the number of 2008 divorces granted to persons married in 2004 by the number of marriages performed in 2004. When multiplied by 1,000, the result is expressed as the number of 2008 divorces per 1,000 marriages from 2004. This rate incorporates a bias of unknown magnitude due to the death of some spouses during the period as well as migration, that is, persons moving from one province or territory to another, or to or from Canada.

Total divorce rate (TDR)

The sum of duration-specific divorce rates. Two TDRs are presented. They are distinguished by whether the summation is calculated on the basis of a 30-year (TDR30) or 50-year (TDR50) period. This measure is expressed as the proportion of married couples who are expected to divorce before their 30th or 50th anniversary, respectively, given the duration–specific divorce rates for a given year. For example, the 2004 TDR50 for Canada was 413 per 1,000 marriages. It indicates that 41.3% of marriages registered in Canada in 2004 are expected to end in divorce before the 50th anniversary if the conditions observed in 2004 remain stable for at least 50 years. This indicator incorporates the same bias as the duration-specific divorce rates due to mortality and migration.

Duration of the divorce proceeding

Amount of time (in months) between the date (day, month and year) the divorce application was filed with the court and the date of divorce.

Duration of marriage

The duration of marriage is the amount of time elapsed (in years) between the date (day, month and year) of marriage and the date of divorce.

Marriage

Prior to 2003, marriage was defined as the legal conjugal union of two persons of the opposite sex. Beginning in 2003, the definition of marriage has been changed in some provinces and territories to include the legal conjugal union of two persons of the same sex. On July 20, 2005, the Civil Marriage Act came into force and extended the access to civil marriage to same-sex couples everywhere in Canada. Common-law relationships are excluded.

Marriage data are presented by place of occurrence, that is, the province or territory where the marriage took place. Information on marriages is collected by the vital statistics registrars of provinces and territories who then transmit it to Statistics Canada.

The number of marriages is used as the denominator of duration-specific divorce rates.

Mean age at divorce (or marriage)

The mean (average) age at divorce (or marriage) is calculated using the exact age of divorced individuals on the date their divorce is granted (or the date of their marriage).

Median age at divorce (or marriage)

The median is a measure of central tendency. It is the middle value in a set of ordered numbers (for example, women's exact ages at divorce, ranked from youngest to oldest). In the case of an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values.

Population

Persons whose usual place of residence is somewhere in Canada, including Canadian government employees stationed abroad and their families, members of the Canadian Forces stationed abroad and their families, crews of Canadian merchant vessels, and non-permanent residents of Canada (i.e., claimants of the refugee status and holders of a study or work permit, as well as their families). Population estimates are based on census counts but are adjusted for census net undercoverage and incompletely enumerated Indian reserves. Is also added an estimate of the population growth for the period from Census day to the date of the estimate.

Mid-year (July 1) population estimates are used to calculate rates in vital statistics publications. Population estimates are frequently revised by Statistics Canada's Centre for Demography. Estimates used are the most recently available at the time of release.

Provinces and territories

Divorces are classified by province or territory of the court in which the divorce proceeding was registered. This generally corresponds to the place of residence of at least one spouse upon applying for the divorce, but spouses may reside outside that province or territory (including outside Canada) when the divorce is later granted by the court.

Nunavut officially became a territory of Canada on April 1, 1999. There was, however, no divorce court established in Nunavut until 2000. The geographic boundaries of the Northwest Territories differ before and after April 1, 1999.

Sex

The original form used by the CRDP to collect information from court registrars recorded sex only indirectly by having a section about the "husband" and another about the "wife". Following the legalization of same-sex marriages in 2005, the form was updated by replacing the terms husband and wife with sex check boxes for each spouse with the options "male" or "female".

Since March 1, 2021, the CRDP collects information on each spouse's gender as of the day before the day of the marriage with three options: "male", "female" and "another gender". Gender, rather than sex, will be used for divorce statistics as of 2021.

Definitions

What are Capital Expenditures?

Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).

Fixed assets are also known as capital assets or property, plant and equipment. They are items with a useful life of more than one year and are not purchased for resale but rather for use in the entity's production of goods and services.

Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.

Include:

Cost of all buildings, engineering structures, machinery and equipment which normally have a life of more than one year and are charged to fixed asset accounts
Modifications and major renovations
Capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
Subsidies used to fund capital expenditures
Capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
Work done by own labour force
Additions to capital work in progress

Exclude:

business acquisitions
transfers and write offs

How to Treat Leases

Include:

Fixed assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease;
Fixed assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude:

assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

Operating lease: The lessor bears the risk of ownership and retains a significant "residual" economic interest in the leased property. The lessee has the right to temporary use of the property, for a term shorter than the economic life of the property, in exchange for regular payments. At the end of the lease, the lessee has the option of purchasing the property at fair market value.

Capital or financial lease: These leases are similar in that the lessor in effect finances the "purchase" of the leased property by the lessee and retains a security interest in the leased property. The lessee retains the leased property for substantially all of its economic life. Usually, at the end of the rental period, he has the option to buy the property at a reduced price.

Land: Capital expenditures for land must include all costs associated with the purchase of land that is not amortized. Improvements to land are to be reported under "Non-residential construction".

Work in Progress: Work in progress represents the costs accumulated since the start of capital projects and which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.

If a major project has been launched or an existing project has been expanded, please indicate the nature, location and, if applicable, the name (s) of the project in the comment section of the questionnaire.

Type of activity (function): The type of activity refers to the function (the economic or social goal or purpose) of capital and repair expenditures incurred during the year. It is the service for others that it serves to support and not its internal

Examples:

A capital expense for the acquisition of office furniture for a hospital.

The function of this acquisition is hospital services.

A capital expense for the construction of a waste disposal facility at a school for its own use.

The function of this expense is teaching.

Residential Construction:

A building or residential building refers to a building used or intended for residential purposes on a permanent or non-permanent basis. Residential buildings normally provide self-contained bathroom and kitchen units to the occupants of each dwelling.

A building for which the majority of housing units have a shared bathroom and kitchen is classified as non-residential.

Include capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for residential construction (contract or by your own employees).

Include the residential portion of multipurpose complexes and townsites.

Exclude buildings that have dwellings without bathrooms or self-contained or exclusive-use kitchens (e.g, some student or senior residences, short-term shelters), or service-related expenses.

Affordable Housing: Include government-subsidized rental housing. Exclude short-term shelters and single-use, non-bathroom, self-contained dwellings and service-related expenses (these are reported under non-residential construction).

Non-Residential Construction:

This group includes non-residential buildings (buildings). A non-residential building or building refers to a construction that is used or intended for non-residential purposes, namely for industrial, commercial or institutional purposes, including the provision of services. Include capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential buildings and engineering works (on a contract basis and / or by your own employees) whether for your own use or lease.

A building for which housing units have a shared bathroom and kitchen is classified under this group. Building structures should be classified as an asset according to their main use, unless it is a multipurpose structure in which we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery or equipment that is an integral or integrated part of the structure (elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental control systems, intercom systems, etc.) must be declared as part of the structure this structure and the landscaping and associated parking lots.

Include:

Manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.;
Roads, bridges, sewers, electric power lines, underground cables, etc.;
The cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and site preparation;
Leasehold and land improvements.
Additions to work in progress;
Town site facilities such as streets, sewers, stores and schools;
Buildings that have accommodation units without self-contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizen residences) and associated expenditures on services;
All preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.

Machinery and Equipment

Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for machinery and equipment, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Machinery and equipment are generally housed in structures and can be removed or replaced without significantly altering the structure.

Include:

Automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances;
Computers (hardware only), broadcasting, telecommunications and other information and communication technologies equipment;
Motors, generators, transformers;
Any capitalized tooling expenses;
Acquisitions to work in progress;
Progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made;
Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.

New Capital Assets: Enter new capital expenditures, including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used capital assets as they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Canadian Used Capital Assets: Our survey is designed to measure separately the acquisitions of new and used capital assets across the Canadian economy. The acquisition of used capital does not increase the total capital stock, but simply transfers it to the Canadian economy. Indicate the acquisition of used assets separately in this column.

Renovation, Refurbishment, Refurbishment or Refurbishment, Restoration: Indicate capital expenditures for improvements, renovations, repairs, refurbishments, overhauls, or restoration. Exclude routine repair or maintenance expenses.

Non-Capitalized Repair and Maintenance expenses

This refers to the repair and maintenance of property as opposed to the acquisition or renovation of capital assets.

Non-capitalized repair and maintenance expenditures are that portion of current or operating expenditures charged against revenue in the year incurred and made for the purpose of keeping the stock of fixed assets in good working condition during the life originally intended.

Repair and maintenance allow such fixed assets to operate at output producing capacity during the asset life without undue amounts of down time (preventive function). A second purpose is the returning of any portion of the stock of fixed assets into a state of good working condition after any malfunctioning or reduced efficiency for whatever reason (curative function) short of replacement of such fixed assets or adding significantly to their life or productive efficiency.

Maintenance expenditures on buildings and other structures may include the routine care of assets such as janitorial services, snow removal and/or salting and sanding by the firm's own employees or persons outside the firm's employ.

Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.

Include:

the gross value of non-capitalized repairs and maintenance expenditures on non-residential buildings, other construction or machinery and equipment;
the value of repairs made by your own workforce, as well as payments to outside repairers;
building maintenance services: janitorial services, snow removal, abrasive application, etc. ;
maintenance of equipment: oil changes and lubrication of vehicles or other machinery, etc.

Source of funding breakdown - Internal costs

Sources of funding for capital expenditures include grants, donations, credit and venture capital from external sources, as well as internal funding.

Value of the work performed by the business on its own account: These expenses include the value of all materials and equipment provided without charge to contractors, all architectural, engineering and consulting fees and those paid for other similar services.

Internal costs of construction or development (such as equipment and labor): which are capitalized in the cost of assets (such as installation by own employees or assembly of fixed assets, personnel systems and software development). Include all materials and supplies provided free of charge to contractors and all fees for architects, engineers and consultants and services.

Include all materials and supplies provided free to contractors and all architects, engineering and consultants fees and similar services.

Salaries and wages: Indicate the total value of salaries and wages paid to your employees. Wages and salaries are gross earnings before deductions, such as income taxes; they include incentive and vacation pay, but exclude benefits.

Materials and Supplies: Report the total cost of materials and supplies used by your employees and those provided free of charge to contractors for reported expenses.

Other Expenses: Other expenses include, for example, insurance premiums, electricity and telephone costs, and applicable architects, lawyers and engineers fees, if applicable the declared expenditure.

Disposal and sale of fixed assets

Selling price: Indicate the total value of the sale of the fixed assets that you sold or sold, even if you gave them in exchange for a credit for the acquisition or purchase of new fixed assets. When land and buildings are sold together, report separately the sale price of the land, along with other land sales.

Gross book value: This value must represent the total capital expenditures for a property at the time of construction or initial purchase or since that time, including all subsequent capital expenditures for retrofit, expansion, etc. Subsidies should not be subtracted.

Age: Indicate the age of the assets at the time of their disposition.

If you have sold or sold similar fixed assets with different working ages, report these separately or combine the data and provide a weighted average age of these assets.

Exclude sales tax
Your best estimates are acceptable when precise figures are not available;
If there are no capital expenditures, please enter '0'.

Definitions

What are Capital Expenditures?

Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.

Include:

Cost of all buildings, engineering structures, machinery and equipment which normally have a life of more than one year and are charged to fixed asset accounts
Modifications and major renovations
Capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
Subsidies used to fund capital expenditures
Capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
Work done by own labour force
Additions to capital work in progress

How to Treat Leases

Include:

assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease;
assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude:

business acquisitions
transfers and write-offs
assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

Operating lease

The lessor bears the risk of ownership and retains a significant "residual" economic interest in the leased property. The lessee has the right to temporary use of the property, for a term shorter than the economic life of the property, in exchange for regular payments. At the end of the lease, the lessee has the option of purchasing the property at fair market value.

Capital or financial lease

These leases are similar in that the lessor in effect finances the "purchase" of the leased property by the lessee and retains a security interest in the leased property. The lessee retains the leased property for substantially all of its economic life.

Industry characteristics

New Assets: Report capital expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report capital expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years, or the expected useful life of the asset with the largest value.

Land: Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated. Improvements of land should be reported in Non-Residential Construction.

Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for residential structures (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees).

Include the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
Exclude buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizens residences) and associated expenditures on services.

Non-Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential building and engineering construction (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Construction structures should be classified to an asset according to its principal use unless it is a multi-purpose structure where we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery and equipment which is an integral or built-in feature of the structure (i.e. elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental controls, intercom systems, etc.) should be reported as part of that structure as well as landscaping, associated parking lots, etc.

Include:

Manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.;
Roads, bridges, sewers, electric power lines, underground cables, etc.;
The cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and site preparation;
Leasehold and land improvements.
Additions to work in progress;
Townsite facilities such as streets, sewers, stores and schools;
Buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizen residences) and associated expenditures on services;
All preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.

Machinery and Equipment

Include:

Automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances;
Computers (hardware only), broadcasting, telecommunications and other information and communication technologies equipment;
Motors, generators, transformers;
Any capitalized tooling expenses;
Acquisitions to work in progress;
Progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made;
Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.

Non-Capital Repair and Maintenance Expenditures

This question represents the repair and maintenance of assets in contrast to the acquisition of assets or the renovation of assets.

Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.

Include:

Gross non-capital repair and maintenance expenditures on non-residential buildings, other structures and on machinery and equipment;
Value of repair work done by your own employees as well as payments to persons outside your employ;
Building maintenance such as janitorial services, snow removal and sanding;
Equipment maintenance such as oil changes and lubrication of vehicles and other machinery.

Oil and Gas and Mineral Exploration: These expenditures include mineral rights fees and retention costs, geological, geophysical and seismic expenses, exploration drilling, and other costs incurred during the reporting period in order to determine whether mineral, oil or gas reserves exist and can be exploited commercially. Report gross expenditures, before deducting any incentive grants. Exclude the cost of land and business acquisitions.

Work in Progress: Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.

Cost component of expenditures – internal costs

Internal construction or development costs: (such as material and labour) that are capitalized as part of the asset costs (such as own employee installation or erection of fixed assets, systems and software development staff).

Include all materials and supplies provided free to contractors and all architects, engineering and consultants fees and similar services.

Salaries and Wages: Show the total value of salaries and wages paid to your employees. Salaries and wages are gross earnings before deductions such as income tax and include incentive bonuses and vacation pay but exclude fringe benefits.

Materials and Supplies: Report total cost of materials and supplies used by your own employees and those provided free to contractors relating to the expenditures reported.

Other Charges: Examples of other charges are insurance, power, telephone and also architectural, legal, and engineering fees considered to be applicable to the expenditures reported.

Source of Funding Breakdown

Sources of funding of capital expenditures include grants, subsidies, donations, credit and venture capital from external sources, as well as internal fundi

Environmental protection and resource management expenditures

Specific activities are: Solid waste management; Wastewater management; Air pollution management; Protection and remediation of soil, groundwater and surface water; Protection of biodiversity and habitat; Noise and vibration abatement; Protection against radiation; Heat or energy savings and management; Fuel efficient vehicles and transportation goods or technologies; Production of energy from renewable sources; Renewable energy; Production of nuclear energy; and any other environmental protection or resource management activities.

Drivers and obstacles: Drivers or obstacles to the adoption of new or significantly improved clean technologies, systems or equipment for the establishment. ng.

Disposal and sales of fixed assets

Selling price

The total value, or the sales of fixed assets which were disposed of or sold, even if traded in for credit in the acquisition or purchase of new fixed assets. When land and buildings are sold together, please report the selling price of the land separately, along with other land sales.

Gross book value

This value should represent total capital expenditures for an asset, at and since the time of original construction or purchase, including all subsequent capital expenditures for the purpose of modernization, expansion, etc. Any subsidies received should not be subtracted.

Age

Report the age of the fixed asset at the time of disposal.

If you have disposed of or sold similar assets of varying ages, report them separately or combine the data and provide a weighted average for the ages.
