Chief Statistician's message

I am pleased to present Statistics Canada's 2021-22 Departmental Plan.

This report outlines how the agency is fulfilling its mandate over the coming year to provide Canadians with timely, high-quality data for decisions that impact all of us.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated Statistics Canada's multi-year modernization efforts, and fundamentally transformed the way we operate. And thanks to this modernization and to our dedicated staff, we were well prepared. Almost overnight, we were able to quickly pivot operations to focus on mission-critical programs, and move some 7,500 employees to telework. Faced with an unprecedented need for data, they stepped up to the plate, enabling the agency to deliver data-driven insights to Canadians at a time when they were needed most.

At no time has the role of data – and Statistics Canada's role as a trusted data steward – been more important in helping Canadians not only survive this crisis, but also thrive once we move past it.

Our effort to modernize our operations is based on five pillars:

Fostering a modern and flexible workplace based on an agile workforce and culture.
Delivering user-centric products and services to focus resources on what clients want and need today, and to make Statistics Canada data easier for anyone to find and use.
Using leading-edge methods. We do this by identifying new methods of collecting data that move beyond the survey-first approach, finding new ways to integrate data from a variety of sources, and using high-throughput tools to analyze and visualize data.
Collaborating and engaging with partners, sharing expertise, and increasing access to data.
Building statistical capacity with partners and fostering data literacy among Canadians so that more end-users – whether they are businesses, governments or citizens – can make evidence-based decisions from data.

To that end, Statistics Canada will deliver results over the coming year based on the following priorities:

Strengthening the Statistical System. The Canadian Statistics Advisory Council (CSAC) released, in October 2020, the first annual report which provides a detailed assessment of Canada’s statistical system and advice on how it could be strengthened. Statistics Canada will work closely with partners within and outside the federal government to make tangible progress in the areas recommended in the report.
Launch the 2021 Census of the Population and Census of Agriculture. Every five years, the censuses provide a detailed portrait of Canadians and their communities. In 2021, census data collection will take place against the backdrop of a pandemic, which will require Statistics Canada employees to adapt to public-health measures, such as physical distancing, during the collection of census data. The data collected for this census will also capture the sheer scale of the social and economic impacts that Canadians continue to face as a result of COVID-19.
Enhance coverage of emerging social and economic concerns. Statistics Canada will continue to produce more data on important issues, such as housing affordability, health outcomes, household debt and Canadians' quality of life. Given the economic uncertainty created by COVID-19, we will also identify timely and accurate indicators to track the sharp changes in employment levels and business activity during an economic shock. Another urgent priority is to disaggregate datasets to better identify the economic and social impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations, such as women, Indigenous people, people living with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, and groups designated as visible minorities.
Seek out data from alternative sources. Canadians often wonder why they are asked to provide the same data multiple times to government institutions. That's why we will engage with Canadians and collaborate with both public- and private-sector partners on ways to collect, store and share administrative data – information not based on surveys that are already held by other organizations. The objective is to make Statistics Canada more responsive to the data needs of Canadians, without adding extra demands on them to provide the same information to us multiple times. This commitment is part of the Government of Canada's vision of offering services focused on the needs of end users. Better data integration from various sources means the federal government has a better sense of the needs of Canadians. Better data integration holds great potential for making Canadians' interactions with the Government of Canada easier, providing them with a more seamless experience when they seek a service or benefit. It can make government more efficient, better at coordinating public services and better equipped to make evidence-based decisions that can improve the lives of all Canadians, particularly those who may not have benefitted equally in the past. And as we seek to integrate more data to better serve Canadians, we will continue to strictly protect their privacy.
Build statistical capacity and foster data literacy. Through newly established partnerships with Indigenous communities, we will share our globally recognized expertise in using data for public accountability, social impact and innovation. We will also continue to collaborate with other federal departments as well as our provincial and territorial counterparts to use data as a strategic asset to better serve Canadians.
Modernize our operations. To better meet Canada's evolving data needs, especially during a public-health crisis, we are actively developing new technology-based solutions to provide Canadians with increased access to timely, high-quality data. We are investing in secure digital infrastructure to protect the data assets that Canadians have entrusted to us. We are also launching new on-demand digital tools and services – part of our commitment to improve our services to Canadians by identifying fresh ways to model and present data to them.

Over the past century, Statistics Canada has evolved from being the nation's collector and keeper of fixed stocks of data, to being a dynamic service provider that shares ever-moving flows of data, wherever and whenever they are needed. These data can be used by many more Canadians, who are looking for accurate, authoritative information tailored to their unique needs to make important decisions.

We will continue to strictly protect the information Canadians have entrusted to Statistics Canada and be transparent about the methods that we use to ensure that their information is both secure and kept strictly confidential. I invite Canadians to visit Statistics Canada's Trust Centre to see how we are introducing world-leading privacy-protection methods and how our dedicated employees work to bring Canadians the data and insights that they have counted on for more than 100 years.

From the Minister

The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, P.C., M.P.

The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne
Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry

Statistics Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) are working to position Canada as an innovation leader on the global stage by fostering a diverse, growing, competitive and sustainable economy that benefits all Canadians.

While our government's priority continues to be fighting COVID-19 and protecting Canadians' health and safety, we are committed to fostering conditions for investment, enhancing Canadian innovation, and driving growth in key sectors. Together, we will strengthen the Canadian economy and restore consumer confidence through strategic actions, including investing in training for workers, and supporting Canadian businesses as they adapt and grow in a knowledge-based economy.

Statistics Canada, as the country's national statistical office, will continue to support key government priorities by advancing efforts in the following areas; gender equality, diversity and inclusion, public health data management, energy, environment and sustainable development. The agency will work to build statistical capacity in Indigenous organizations, and meet the increasing need for data to help fuel our economy and labour market. And, thanks to the participation of thousands of Canadians, Statistics Canada will deliver the 2021 Census that provides a detailed and comprehensive statistical portrait of Canada that is vital to our country.

Statistics Canada's ambitious modernization agenda has positioned the agency to be responsive to the COVID-19 crisis. As we navigate a path to recovery, Statistics Canada will continue to deliver meaningful insights. More than ever, Canadians need timely, granular and integrated data to shed light on the impacts of the pandemic on Canadian society and our economy.

Finally, in tackling some of today's most pressing challenges, such as climate change, we will continue to invest in science and research. We will also ensure that federal research is fully available to the public; that researchers can freely share their work; and that evidence-based approaches are utilized when making decisions. In doing so, we will facilitate the kind of new discoveries made by Canada's leading researchers and academics.

Together with Canadians of all backgrounds, regions and generations, we are building a strong culture of innovation to position Canada as a leader in the global economy. For more information, it is our pleasure to present the 2021-22 Departmental Plan for Statistics Canada.

Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID)

About SLID

Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) data RETrievel system (SLIDRET) acts as an interface between the database and the user. SLIDRET allows users to create a dataset according to their own specifications. The custom query (.qry) files is submitted to the Real Time Remote Access (RTRA) along with the SAS program. The software is needed to access SLID and is available free of charge via the client service unit.

Note on SLIDRET:

The RTRA system only accepts cross-sectional extractions from SLIDRet. RTRA users should ensure to select CrossSection under "Type of analysis" in the SLIDRet application.

SLIDRet automatically provides the appropriate weight variable option associated with the unit of analysis in "5. Run Query". Therefore, a RTRA user does not need to specify a weight variable (eg: ILBWT26 or WTCSLD26) in "2. Variable Selection" in SLIDRet. An error will occur if a RTRA user submits a query file with more than one weight variable identified.

Submissions

For SLID submissions, we recommend that you convert your SAS code and Query files into .zip files. RTRA allows .zip files to be submitted. This ensures that RTRA will pair the .sas and .qry files correctly. When you submit two files (.sas and .qry) instead of a .zip file, there's a chance that RTRA will not be able to pair the .sas and .qry files.

Create a ZIP file with the files SLIDQRY_name.sas and SLIDQRY_some.qry in it. The ZIP file itself can be named anything.
Place the ZIP files in the Inbox.
RTRA will automatically extract the files in the ZIP, put them in the Inbox and prefix the files with same date and time stamp so that they can be matched. Processing then happens as usual.

SAS Programming Tips

Alternative to the disallowed word PUT

The word PUT is not allowed in Real Time Remote Access (RTRA) because the PUT statement allows a user to write values from the microdata to the SAS log. However, users may want to use the PUT function to create character values by applying a format (typically used to convert numeric values to character). Since the word PUT is disallowed, users can instead use the PUTC or PUTN functions which are similar to the PUT function. PUTC creates a character value by applying a character format. PUTN creates a character value by applying a numeric format.

Note: Unlike the PUT function, for the PUTC and PUTN functions the format to apply (the second argument) must be in quotation marks. For example:

AgeChar = PUTN(Age, "3.");

Converting character values to numeric

In some cases, a user may want to convert character microdata values to numeric. For example, the LFS microdata variable SP_WEARN is a character variable. Because of this, SP_WEARN cannot be used as an RTRA statistical analysis variable (in RTRAMean for example). It must be converted to numeric first. This conversion can be done using the INPUT function.

In the data step example below, a new numeric variable SP_WEARN_NUM is created by applying the INPUT function to SP_WEARN. It is assumed that the values in SP_WEARN include two implicit decimal places.

data work.LFS;

set RTRAData.LFS200005;

length SP_WEARN_NUM 8;

SP_WEARN_NUM = INPUT(SP_WEARN,7.2);

run;

The new variable SP_WEARN_NUM can then be used as an analysis variable in the RTRA procedures.

Applying the KEEP option to the RTRAData data set

Applying the KEEP option to the RTRAData data set can make the data step more efficient. SAS will only retrieve the variables listed in the KEEP option. It is useful when only a small number of variables are needed. Note that if KEEP is specified, the variable named ID must be included in the list of variables.

For example:

data work.CSDDis;

set RTRAData.csd2012_disab(keep=DDIS_FL REF_AGE SEX DCLASS DLFS ID);

run;

Note: While KEEP can make the data step more efficient when only a small number of variables are needed, KEEP is not a requirement. If there is a large number of variables to keep, it is easier to omit the KEEP option. SAS will automatically keep all variables (including the variable ID).

Defining new variables with a LENGTH statement

The example below shows how the values of a new character variable can be inadvertently truncated when the variable is not defined with a LENGTH statement.

data work.CSDDis;

set RTRAData.csd2012_disab;

if (REF_AGE < 10) then AgeGroup = "Under10";

else if (10 <= REF_AGE <= 30) then AgeGroup = "Between10and30";

else if (31 <= REF_AGE <= 90) then AgeGroup = "Between31and90";

else if (REF_AGE > 90) then AgeGroup = "OlderThan90";

else AgeGroup = "AgeUnknown";

run;

Since the new variable AgeGroup is not defined with a LENGTH statement, SAS uses the first occurrence of AgeGroup in the data step to determine the character length to assign the variable. The first occurrence is where AgeGroup is assigned the value "Under10". Therefore, SAS assigns a length of 7 to the variable AgeGroup. The problem with this is that the length of 7 is not sufficient to accommodate character values assigned to AgeGroup later in the data step, such as "Between10and30".

Here are the values of AgeGroup in the output data step for the different age groups. Notice the truncation that has occurred:

Defining new variables with a length statement
REF_AGE	AgeGroup [char(7)]
< 10	Under10
10 - 30	Between
31 - 90	Between
> 90	OlderTh
Any other value	AgeUnkn

If AgeGroup is a class variable, the values in the tabulated results will be truncated as shown above. Even worse, all REF_AGE values from 10 - 90 will end up in the same category – Between.

To avoid this problem, use a LENGTH statement to assign a sufficient length to AgeGroup before assigning it a value:

data work.CSDDis;

set RTRAData.csd2012_disab;

length AgeGroup $ 15;

if (REF_AGE < 10) then AgeGroup = "Under10";

else if (10 <= REF_AGE <= 30) then AgeGroup = "Between10and30";

else if (31 <= REF_AGE <= 90) then AgeGroup = "Between31and90";

else if (REF_AGE > 90) then AgeGroup = "OlderThan90";

else AgeGroup = "AgeUnknown";

run;

Defining new variables with a length statement
REF_AGE	AgeGroup [char(15)]
< 10	Under10
10 - 30	Between10and30
31 - 90	Between31and90
> 90	OlderThan90
Any other value	AgeUnknown

Missing ELSE statement when defining a derived variable

When defining a derived variable in a data step, IF/ELSE statements are usually used.

For example:

data work.CSDDis;

set RTRAData.csd2012_disab;

length AgeGroup $ 15;

if (0 <= REF_AGE < 10) then AgeGroup = "Under10";

else if (10 <= REF_AGE <= 30) then AgeGroup = "Between10and30";

else if (31 <= REF_AGE <= 90) then AgeGroup = "Between31and90";

else if (91 <= REF_AGE <=120) then AgeGroup = "Between91and120";

run;

The potential problem with this code is that it ignores any special values of REF_AGE that may exist in the data. For example, the data set csd2012_disab may contain missing REF_AGE values (.) or a value such as 999 may represent "Not Stated". For observations where REF_AGE is not 0-120, AgeGroup will be set to blank. If AgeGroup is used as a class variable in RTRA, RTRA will generate an error message since a class variable cannot have any missing values.

To prevent this problem, an additional ELSE statement should be used as a "catch all". This ensures that AgeGroup will be non-blank in all observations in the output data set.

data work.CSDDis;

set RTRAData.csd2012_disab;

length AgeGroup $ 15;

if (0 <= REF_AGE < 10) then AgeGroup = "Under10";

else if (10 <= REF_AGE <= 30) then AgeGroup = "Between10and30";

else if (31 <= REF_AGE <= 90) then AgeGroup = "Between31and90";

else if (91 <= REF_AGE <=120) then AgeGroup = "Between91and120";

else AgeGroup = "Other";

run;

In the example shown above, for all observations where REF_AGE is not 0-120, AgeGroup will be assigned a value of "Other".

Controlled rounding

Rounding is performed independently on each cell (including subtotals or grand total). See Step 3 below. Here is a simple example of how rounding is performed:

Suppose we have a survey of 10 people representing a population of 1,205 and let 100 be the rounding base used by the RTRA.

Microdata

Table 1
Controlled rounding using sex and marital status
Unit	Sex	Marital status	Weight
1	Male	Married	120.5
2	Male	Widowed	120.5
3	Male	Married	120.5
4	Male	Divorced	120.5
5	Male	Married	120.5
6	Female	Married	120.5
7	Female	Married	120.5
8	Female	Widowed	120.5
9	Female	Widowed	120.5
10	Female	Married	120.5

Step 1

The RTRA modified SAS procedure creates the following table:

Table 2
Controlled rounding using sex and marital status
	Married	Divorced	Widowed	Total
Male	361.5	120.5	120.5	602.5
Female	361.5	0.0	241.0	602.5
Total	723.0	120.5	361.5	1,205.0

Step 2

The RTRA system applies conventional rounding to the inner cells, and then sums up totals and subtotals.

Table 3
Controlled rounding using sex and marital status
	Married	Divorced	Widowed	Total
Male	362	121	121	603
Female	362	0	241	603
Total	724	121	362	1,207

Step 3

The RTRA system sends these counts into the controlled random rounding program. We obtain the following:

Table 4
Controlled rounding using sex and marital status¹
	Married	Divorced	Widowed	Total
1.The order of specification of variables in the procedure may have an effect on the rounded results. For instance, specifying sex and marital status might give different results from those obtained by specifying marital status and sex. In both cases rounding is controlled.
Male	400	100	100	600
Female	300	0	300	600
Total	700	100	400	1,200

Note that rows and columns are additives. This last table is then sent to the researcher.

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.
