Raison d'être, mandate and role: who we are and what we do

Raison d'être

Strong data and evidence are crucial to good decision making. All parts of society—governments, businesses and individuals—count on high-quality, timely and detailed statistics to make decisions. Among its many applications, statistical information is used to draw electoral boundaries, determine international tariffs, inform trade negotiations, analyze economic performance, select sites for schools and public transportation, and support immigration policies and programs.

Mandate and role

Statistics Canada produces data that help Canadians better understand their country—its population, resources, economy, society and culture. In Canada, providing statistics is a federal responsibility. As Canada's central statistical office, Statistics Canada is legislated to serve this function for the whole of Canada and each of the provinces and territories. The agency also conducts a census of the population and a census of agriculture every five years, providing a detailed picture of Canadian society. Statistics Canada operates under the authority of the Statistics Act and is committed to protecting the confidentiality of the information with which it is entrusted.

The agency promotes the quality and coherence of Canada's statistics through collaboration with international organizations, federal departments and agencies, and the provinces and territories. As a member of the United Nations Statistical Commission, the agency endorses the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics, which help define what constitutes a good system of official statistics and what role that system should play in national governments.

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
  • establishing government programs to assist businesses
  • assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
  • supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
  • indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
  • enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

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, Québec, 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, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at statcan.esdhelpdesk-dsebureaudedepannage.statcan@statcan.gc.ca or by fax at 613-951-6583.

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.

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 Canadian International Merchandise Trade Program (customs basis): Technical Notes

The Canadian international merchandise trade program

Introduction

The objective of this text is to provide a general overview of the Canadian International Merchandise Trade Program, with special reference to concepts and definitions.

Conceptual framework

1. Objectives and coverage: The primary objective of the Canadian International Merchandise Trade Program is to measure the change in the stock of material resources of Canada resulting from the movement of merchandise into or out of the country. Information on imports and exports are inputs into the System of National Accounts, particularly in the Balance of Payments and Gross Domestic Product, and are used in the formulation of trade and budgetary policies. Governments, importers, exporters, manufacturers and shipping companies use international merchandise trade statistics to:

  • monitor import penetration and export performance;
  • monitor commodity price and volume changes; and
  • examine transport implications.

2. Trade statistics (Customs basis / Balance of Payments basis): Merchandise trade statistics are reported and presented on two different bases: Customs basis and Balance of Payment basis.

When goods are imported into or exported from Canada, declarations must be filed with the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA), giving such information as description and value of the goods, origin and port of clearance of commodities and mode of transport. Most of this information is required for the purposes of Customs administration. Statistics developed from administrative records of Customs are commonly referred to as Customs-based trade statistics.

Customs-based export statistics may understate or incorrectly portray the destination of exports. Exports are incorrectly portrayed when the country of final destination is inaccurately reported on the Customs documentation. This occurs most frequently when goods are routed through an intermediary country before continuing on to their final destination.

Statistics Canada does not have a direct measure of undercoverage, however a monthly estimated adjustment is included within Balance of Payments-based data.

On January 1, 1990, Canada entered into a memorandum of understanding with the United States concerning the exchange of import data. As a consequence, each administration is using the other's import data to replace its own export data. Canada's international merchandise trade statistics are, therefore, not derived exclusively from the administrative records of the Canada Border Services Agency, but from United States Customs records as well.

Customs-based information is adjusted to conform to the National Accounts concepts and definitions. The adjustments to derive Balance of Payments-based trade data include adjustments related to trade definition, valuation and timing. The principal difference between the two trade concepts is that Customs-based merchandise trade statistics cover the physical movement of goods as they are reflected in Customs documents while Balance of Payments-adjusted data are intended to cover all economic transactions that involve merchandise trade between residents and non-residents.

3. System of trade: Canadian trade statistics are compiled according to the general system of trade, as defined by the United Nations Statistical Office. Under this system, imports include all goods that have crossed Canada's territorial boundary, whether for immediate consumption in Canada or for storage in bonded Customs warehouses. Domestic exports include goods grown, extracted or manufactured in Canada, including goods of foreign origin that have been materially transformed in Canada. Re-exports are exports of goods of foreign origin that have not been materially transformed in Canada, including foreign goods withdrawn for export from bonded Customs warehouses. Total exports are the sum of domestic exports and re-exports. Thus the general trade system, in principle, presents all goods entering the country (imports) and all goods leaving the country (exports). It differs from the special system of trade in the treatment of imported goods into bonded Customs warehouses. Conceptually, under the general system, the statistical frontier coincides with the geographical boundary.

4. Valuation: For Customs purposes, imports are recorded at values established according to the provisions of the Customs Act, which, since January 1, 1985, reflects valuation methods based on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Valuation Code System. In general, the value for duty of imported goods must be equivalent to the transaction value or the price actually paid.

The transaction value of imported goods includes all transportation and associated costs incurred up to the point of direct shipment to Canada. Therefore, Canada's imports are valued Free on Board (FOB), place of direct shipment to Canada. It excludes freight and insurance costs in bringing the goods to Canada from the point of direct shipment.

For countries other than the United States, exports are recorded at the value declared on export documents, which usually reflect the transaction value (i.e., actual selling price or, in the case of a non-arm's length transaction, the transfer price used for company accounting purposes). Canada's exports to overseas countries are valued at FOB port of exit, including domestic freight charges to that point but net of discounts and allowances. As of January, 1990, Canada's exports to the U.S. are valued FOB point of exit from Canada. Prior to 1990, they were valued FOB place of lading net of freight charges, discounts and allowances.

5. Statistical period: The closing of the statistical month for imports and exports is defined as the last calendar day of the month based on the date of clearance from Customs. Documents received too late for incorporation in the current month are assigned to the month the transaction took place and are published the following statistical month.

6. Trading partner attribution (country of origin/destination): Exports are attributed to the country that is the last known destination of the goods at the time of export. Exports to the United States are attributed to the state of destination.

On a custom basis, imports are attributed to their country of origin, that is, the country in which the goods were grown, extracted or manufactured in accordance to the rules of origin administered by the Canada Border Services Agency. On a balance of payments basis, imports are attributed to the country of export instead of the country of origin to reflect the change in ownership of the goods (with no adjustment for exports). Imports from the United States are attributed to the state of origin.

7. Principal Trading Partners (PTPs): The list of PTPs is based on their annual share of total trade-merchandise imports and exports-with Canada in 2012. The countries included in the list of PTPs are the following:

List of Canada's Principal Trading Partners

  • United States
  • European Union

8. Free Trade Agreements: The list of free trade agreements is based on the list of Canada's Trade and Investment Agreements available on Global Affairs Canada's website. Please note that this list includes countries or groups of countries with which Canada is discussing or negotiating an agreement; in these cases, the agreements are not yet in force. Therefore, only a subset of the free trade agreements listed below are currently in force in Canada. More information about Canada's free trade agreements, including the member countries for each group and the status of the agreements, can be found at Global Affairs Canada's website.

9. Legal framework: Import and export statistics with countries other than the United States are derived from information contained in administrative records collected by the Canada Border Services Agency under the Customs Act. Copies of these documents (or information therefrom) are sent to Statistics Canada in accordance with Section 25 of the Statistics Act. It follows that the disclosure of trade statistics is governed by both the Customs Act and the Statistics Act and is subject to the provisions of Section 17(2)(a) of the latter. Disclosure of export statistics to the United States is governed by a memorandum of understanding that provides for the exchange of detailed import statistics between Canada and the United States.

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Calculating each province and territory's fair share of federal-provincial transfer payments for health, education and social programs
  • Establishing government programs to assist businesses
  • Assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
  • Supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
  • Indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
  • Enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

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, Québec, 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, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at statcan.esdhelpdesk-dsebureaudedepannage.statcan@statcan.gc.ca or by fax at 613-951-6583.

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

Additional information

In cases where information is reported on an amalgamated basis and relates to operations in more than one province or territory, Statistics Canada may allocate a portion of the reported information to these provincial or territorial operations. The allocated information will be shared in accordance with the Section 11 or 12 agreements of the Statistics Act, as described above.

In cases where there is a separate head office, Statistics Canada may adjust the reported revenues of that head office so that those revenues more fully reflect the value of the services the head office provides. In such cases, there will be a corresponding adjustment to the reported expenses of the units served. The adjusted information will be shared in accordance with the Section 11 or 12 agreements of the Statistics Act, as described above.

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.

Description and examples

Statement outlining results, risks and significant changes in operations, personnel and program

A) Introduction

Statistics Canada's mandate

Statistics Canada ("the agency") is a member of the Innovation, Science and Industry portfolio.

Statistics Canada's role is to ensure that Canadians have access to a trusted source of statistics on Canada that meets their highest priority needs.

The agency's mandate derives primarily from the Statistics Act. The Act requires that the agency collects, compiles, analyzes and publishes statistical information on the economic, social, and general conditions of the country and its people. It also requires that Statistics Canada conduct the census of population and the census of agriculture every fifth year, and protects the confidentiality of the information with which it is entrusted.

Statistics Canada also has a mandate to co-ordinate and lead the national statistical system. The agency is considered a leader, among statistical agencies around the world, in co–ordinating statistical activities to reduce duplication and reporting burden.

More information on Statistics Canada's mandate, roles, responsibilities and programs can be found in the 2020–2021 Main Estimates and in the Statistics Canada 2020–2021 Departmental Plan.

The Quarterly Financial Report:

  • should be read in conjunction with the 2020–2021 Main Estimates;
  • has been prepared by management, as required by Section 65.1 of the Financial Administration Act, and in the form and manner prescribed by Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat;
  • has not been subject to an external audit or review.

Statistics Canada has the authority to collect and spend revenue from other federal government departments and agencies, as well as from external clients, for statistical services and products.

Basis of presentation

This quarterly report has been prepared by management using an expenditure basis of accounting. The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes the agency’s spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the agency consistent with the Main Estimates for the 2020–2021 fiscal year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic (the pandemic) and limited sessions in the spring for Parliament to study supply, the Standing Orders of the House of Commons were amended to extend the study period into the fall. The agency received the remainder of the full supply for the 2020-21 Main Estimates as of December 2020. This quarterly report has been prepared using a special purpose financial reporting framework designed to meet financial information needs with respect to the use of spending authorities.

The authority of Parliament is required before moneys can be spent by the Government. Approvals are given in the form of annually approved limits through appropriation acts or through legislation in the form of statutory spending authority for specific purposes.

The agency uses the full accrual method of accounting to prepare and present its annual departmental financial statements that are part of the departmental results reporting process. However, the spending authorities voted by Parliament remain on an expenditure basis.

B) Highlights of fiscal quarter and fiscal year-to-date results

This section highlights the significant items that contributed to the net increase in resources available for the year, as well as actual expenditures for the quarter ended December 31.

    • Total expenditures: $504,081

Chart 1 outlines the gross budgetary authorities, which represent the resources available for use for the year as of December 31.

Significant changes to authorities

Total authorities available for 2020–2021 have increased by $74.2 million, or 10.9%, from the previous year, from $682.0 million to $756.2 million (Chart 1). The Agency has received the full supply as of December 2020. The net increase is mostly the result of the following:

  • An increase of $80.5 million for the 2021 Census of Population program for new cyclical funding received to cover planning and developmental activities;
  • An increase of $2.5 million for the ratification of collective agreements;
  • A decrease of $3.5 million for the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement, marking the near completion of the settlement;
  • A decrease of $2.1 million for the Survey of Financial Security and Annual Household wealth.

The variance is also explained by the reception of authorities at different quarters throughout the year.

In addition to the appropriations allocated to the agency through the Main Estimates, Statistics Canada also has vote net authority within Vote 1, which entitles the agency to spend revenues collected from other federal government departments, agencies, and external clients to provide statistical services. The vote netting authority is stable at $120 million when comparing the third quarter of fiscal years 2019–2020 and 2020-2021.

Significant changes to expenditures

Year-to-date net expenditures recorded to the end of the third quarter increased by $26.2 million, or 6.2% from the previous year, from $426.5 million to $452.7 million (see Table A: Variation in Departmental Expenditures by Standard Object).

Statistics Canada spent approximately 71.2% of its authorities by the end of the third quarter, compared with 75.9% in the same quarter of 2019–2020.

Personnel: There is an overall increase in the agency’s activities as the 2021 Census ramps up for its main operational period in the first quarter of 2021-22. The increase is also attributable to additional workload required for initiatives related to the cloud.

Transportation and communications: The decrease is mainly due to postage costs of the 2019 Census Test that occurred last fiscal year, as well as travel being significantly reduced this fiscal year due to the pandemic.

Professional and special services: The decrease is mainly due to some surveys being delayed to the next fiscal year and reduction in certain training costs. This is slightly offset by an increase mainly in information technology consultant services.

Rentals: The increase is mainly due to the cost of software licence maintenance being higher than last fiscal year, and to additional costs for logistical requirements for the 2021 Census.

Revenues: The decrease is due to the shift of key deliverables to the last quarter as a result of the pandemic. While certain contracts were cancelled or not renewed, new contracts are being negotiated to be delivered this fiscal year.

C) Risks and uncertainties

Statistics Canada is currently expending significant effort in modernizing its business processes and tools, in order to maintain its relevance and maximize the value it provides to Canadians. As a foundation piece for some of these efforts, the agency is working in collaboration with Shared Services Canada and Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Office of the Chief Information Officer, to ensure the agency has access to adequate information technology services and support to attain its modernization objectives and successfully transition its infrastructure and applications to the cloud. Activities and related costs are projected based on various assumptions that can change, depending on the nature and degree of work required to accomplish the initiatives.

Statistics Canada is facing fiscal pressures due to the sudden impact of the global pandemic. The agency faced significant reductions in its cost recovery activities in the first half of the year as well as increased operational costs associated with the delivery of the 2021 Census Program under a pandemic environment. Risks and uncertainties are being mitigated by the agency's proactive planning assumptions review, mitigation strategies and engagement with central agencies and partners.

D) Significant changes to operations, personnel and programs

The agency is planning changes in operations and program activities with financial implications including:

  • The Census program is ramping up for the 2021 Census which is in the advanced planning stage. As such, expenditures for this program are increasing. The program is also facing some unanticipated financial pressures, as it needed to adapt its procedures to account for the pandemic and ensure field operations are conducted in the safest way possible in 2021. This resulted in additional expenditures. Economic increases have also materialized higher than planned, adding additional pressures to the program;
  • New efforts and collaboration to provide data and insights related to the impact of the pandemic on the society and economy;
  • Although the Agency suffered financial loss associated with reductions in its cost recovery activities in the early months of the pandemic, revenue beginning in this quarter have now stabilized back to more normal levels. The new cost recovery work comes with equivalent cost and does not offset the financial loss from earlier in the year.
