Why are we conducting this survey?

Statistics Canada is conducting the above-mentioned survey. The purpose of this survey is to measure the scope of Canadian businesses' activities related to the global supply, production and distribution chain. It collects information related to the purchase, production and sale of goods abroad by Canadian businesses. It also gathers information on whether Canadian businesses perform manufacturing or processing work for other Canadian or foreign clients, and whether Canadian businesses hire other Canadian or foreign firms to perform the same type of work.

This information is used to prepare Canada's Balance of International Payments statistics, which is a major input in the compilation of the Canadian Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The information you provide may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

With social movements for Indigenous rights, racial justice, and economic equality gaining momentum in Canada, there have been many national conversations about equity, diversity, and inclusion. Statistics Canada is answering the call of Canadians who are seeking detailed data to help address gender gaps, racism and other systemic barriers.

Through the Disaggregated Data Action Plan announced in Budget 2021, Statistics Canada is working with Canadians to produce better data for better decision-making.

This action plan seeks to combine data and then break them down into sub-categories according to gender, race, age, sexual orientation, disability (or a combination of these). This process will help to reveal uneven economic and social realities in Canada. For every Canadian to reach their full potential, we need to properly understand the circumstances in which people live and the barriers they face. We cannot improve what we cannot measure.

To provide more disaggregated data, Statistics Canada is exploring new secure ways to get the most out of the data that has already been collected - for instance, by securely combining its census and survey data with data already collected by other federal or provincial / territorial organizations. Data from other organizations are sometimes called “administrative data.”

By linking data in this way, we can reduce the burden on Canadians by reusing data they have already provided to the government. We can also improve the accuracy of the data and expand the range of results and insights they provide. Data linkages have been conducted at Statistics Canada for many years in accordance with Statistics Canada’s Directive on Microdata Linkage.

Statistics Canada’s new Secure Infrastructure for Data Integration (SIDI) - currently undergoing the consultation and construction phases  - is a set of methods, technologies and protocols that will enhance the way Statistics Canada combines its existing data with data from other organizations.

SIDI relies on strong privacy principles. Linked data files are scrubbed of all personal identifiers - such as individuals’ names, addresses, and social insurance numbers - immediately after data linkage and prior to the data being further analyzed and used.

All information collected through Statistics Canada’s censuses and surveys, as well as administrative data from third parties, is protected under the Statistics Act, the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. By law, no personal information collected by Statistics Canada is ever shared with any other agency or person, even those within the Government of Canada. Statistics Canada employees are, furthermore, sworn to secrecy and subject to fines and/or imprisonment should they unlawfully disclose confidential information.

By creating a safe environment to combine data, Statistics Canada is maximizing the information at its disposal, information which can help build a more equitable Canada by bringing fairness and inclusivity to decision-making.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic

Includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US)

Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international

Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers¹ who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

¹ Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

• Flight stage A to B
• Number of passengers = 5
• Distance between points (km) = 161
• Passenger-kilometres = 805

• Flight stage B to C
• Number of passengers = 4
• Distance between points (km) = 322
• Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

• Flight stage A to B
• Tonnes of goods = 5
• Distance between points (km) = 161
• Goods tonne-kilometres = 805

• Flight stage B to C
• Tonnes of goods = 4
• Distance between points (km) = 322
• Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey collects data on capital and repair expenditures in Canada. The information is used by Federal and Provincial government departments and agencies, trade associations, universities and international organizations for policy development and as a measure of regional economic activity.

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

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

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.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

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:

• modifications, acquisitions and major renovations
• capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
• subsidies and grants received and used in additions to fixed assets and construction-in-progress during the period
• capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
• work done by own labour force
• additions to capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) accounts.

Exclude:

• transfers from capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) to fixed assets accounts
• assets associated with the acquisition of companies
• property developed for sale and machinery or equipment acquired for sale (inventory).

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:

• operating leases acquired as a lessee and capitalized to right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 (International Financial Reporting Standards)
• assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

What are Repair Expenditures?

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.

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.

Example of how to calculate a weighted average for years:

• Asset A costs $1,000.00 and has a useful life of 20 years
• Asset B costs $100.00 and has a useful life of 10 years
• Asset C costs $10.00 and has a useful life of 30 years

Years = ((Asset A × Years of Asset A) + (Asset B × Years of Asset B) + (Asset C × Years of Asset C)) ÷ (Total Capital Expenditures)

Years = ((1000 × 20) + (100 × 10) + (10 × 30)) ÷ 1110

Years = 19

If it is not possible to provide the weighted average, please provide the useful life for the asset which had the largest acquisition cost.
