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:

Obtaining information on the supply of and/or demand for energy in Canada
Enabling governmental agencies to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities in regards to public utilities
Enabling all levels of government to establish informed policies in the energy area
Assisting the business community in the corporate decision-making process.

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.

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.

Industrial generator

1. Does this business produce electricity, for internal use and/or for sale?

Fuel consumption for industrial generation

2. Are the reported fuels consumed for the purpose of electricity generation only?

The purpose of this question is to ascertain whether the respondent is reporting fuels whose sole use was the generation of electricity or whether the fuels reported were used for other purposes (producing thermal energy for building heating, producing thermal energy for industrial drying purposes, etc. ) in addition to the generation of electricity.

Generation and efficiency

3. What is the percentage of the actual electrical generator efficiency?

4. What percentage of the portion of steam is used to produce electricity?

Enter '0' if steam was not used to produce electricity.

Do not report negative values.

Portion of steam used to produce electricity: In the process of generating electricity, utilities may use steam completely towards the production of electricity, however an industry may use the steam for other purposes in their manufacturing and generate electricity as a side product.

5. What is the percentage of the actual turbine efficiency?

Cogeneration

6. Does this business generate both heat and electricity simultaneously from the same energy source at this location?

Cogeneration: a highly efficient means of generating heat and electric power at the same time from the same energy source. Cogeneration makes use of the excess heat, usually in the form of relatively low-temperature steam exhausted from the power generation turbines towards another purpose.

7. What is the primary purpose of the cogeneration?

Primary purpose

Electricity internal: Electricity which is used only for internal purposes.

Electricity external: Electricity which is sold / supplied to another company.

Industry internal: Fuels and processes used towards internal purposes that do not contribute towards the generation of electricity. ( i.e. , steam for drying paper).

Sub-type for electricity generation

9. What sub-type method was used to generate electricity?

Select all that apply.

Sub-Types

Combined cycle: burns fuel in a gas turbine or engine to generate electricity. The exhaust from the turbine or engine can provide usable heat or go to a heat recovery system to generate steam which then may drive a secondary steam turbine.

Steam turbine: burns fuel to produce steam, which generates power through a steam turbine. Exhaust (left over steam) can be used as low-pressure steam to heat water.

Combustion engine diesel: rely solely on heat and pressure created by the engine in its compression process for ignition. The compression that occurs is usually twice or higher than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines will take in air only, and shortly before peak compression, a small quantity of diesel fuel is sprayed into the cylinder via a fuel injector that allows the fuel to instantly ignite.

Natural gas combustion turbine: involves a natural gas fired turbine, which runs a generator to produce electricity. The exhaust gas flows through a heat recovery boiler, which can convert the exhaust energy into steam or usable heat.

General information

What is the Annual Survey of Manufacturing Industries and why is it important?

The Annual Survey of Manufacturing Industries is conducted every year by Statistics Canada to obtain important information on the manufacturing sector (including logging operations) of the Canadian economy. Manufacturing establishments in Canada are required to provide information on such aspects of their operations as sales, costs/expenses, salaries and wages. Results from the Annual Survey of Manufacturing Industries help Statistics Canada in compiling key data on the Canadian economy, such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The total value of sales is used along with inventories to calculate production statistics. Total sales of individual products, and external trade data, are used to estimate the size of the Canadian market for particular goods.

The data are also published and are used by the business community, trade associations, municipal, provincial/territorial, and federal governments, international organizations and private citizens.

Businesses and governments depend on official statistics to make vital economic decisions. For example:

The Bank of Canada relies on the GDP to make decisions that influence interest and exchange rates, which in turn affect the costs of doing business;
Businesses and associations use the survey results to:
- track their performance against industry averages;
- evaluate expansion plans;
- prepare business plans for investors;
- adjust inflation-indexed contracts;
- plan marketing strategies.

Why was I chosen to receive the Annual Survey of Manufacturing Industries?

For most surveys, businesses are selected through random sampling to represent other businesses of the same type in their regions, with similar revenue or number of employees. Some businesses must be included every year as they contribute substantially to their particular industry or region. Smaller businesses must also be sampled if an industry only includes a limited number of businesses in a province or territory, to provide an accurate picture of an industry.

Whenever possible, Statistics Canada does use administrative data already filed with government, such as income tax returns or customs records. However, these sources do not contain all the information required to produce a complete industry profile. This is especially true for large businesses operating in a number of different industries, and in more than one province/territory. Tax records usually provide data for the legal entity but not for the different business units (establishments) that operate in different industries and/or provinces/territories. We need data from these specific business units to produce statistics by industry and by province/territory. Note: Although Statistics Canada can obtain records from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to create statistics, CRA cannot access any individual survey records from Statistics Canada.

To protect the confidentiality of data provided by respondents, only data in aggregate form are available for use.

Your assistance in completing the enclosed survey is vital to the production of timely and accurate manufacturing statistics. If you experience difficulties in completing this survey, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-858-7921.

Guidelines

General remarks

This guide provides details to help you complete the survey with more exact responses in the following sections.

Introduction
Revenue
E-Commerce
Expenses
Sales of goods manufactured
Purchases of raw materials and components to be used in manufacturing process
Details on business locations
Detailed information on energy and water costs or expenses

The data requested can generally be obtained from:

The accounting records and financial statements (for profit centers) for your business unit;
Your production and cost reports (for cost centers);
Your employment and payroll records;
Other sources (e.g., your plant or production manager).

Introduction

Coverage

Please report the data for your establishment (referred to as a business unit) in this questionnaire. Each of the locations included in your business unit should be pre-printed in Details on this business's locations section. If you have acquired or disposed of a location, please indicate this change in the space provided.

Note: A business unit is the smallest operating unit in your business that can report the following items:

The value of sales;
The cost of materials and supplies purchased;
The cost of energy and water utility purchased;
The opening and closing inventories;
The number of employees and their salaries and wages.

Generally a business unit corresponds to a plant, mill or factory. However, it may comprise more than one plant or location when your accounting records do not permit separate reporting of the items listed above. A business unit may also include ancillary or support units, such as sales offices or warehouses.

If your business has more than one business unit, a separate questionnaire should be completed for each unit. Each questionnaire should cover all the activities of the relevant business unit.

If your firm has a separate administrative unit or head office located in a municipality other than the one in which the plant is located, then you should also fill out a separate questionnaire for the Head Office Survey. The activities of ancillary or support units which serve more than one of your business units should also be reported on a head office questionnaire (even if there is no separate head office as such).

If you are in doubt about the best way to report, or you are not sure what questionnaires are being completed by other units of your firm, please call 1-800-858-7921 for assistance. Please quote the reference number on the front page of the questionnaire in all communications.

Reporting instructions

When precise figures are not available please provide your best estimates. Report all monetary values in Canadian funds, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars (e.g., $55,417.40 should be reported as 55). Percentages should be rounded (e.g., report 37.3% as 37 and 75.8% as 76).

Contact person section asks for the name of contact as well as the person primarily responsible for completing this questionnaire. Sometimes this is not the same person. Please answer both questions accurately.

Business or organization and contact information

This section verifies or requests basic identifying information of the business or organization such as legal name, operating name (if applicable), contact information of the designated contact person, current operational status, and main activity(ies).

1. Legal name and Operating name

Legal Name
The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.

Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.

Operating Name
The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.

2. Designated contact person

Verify or provide the requested contact information of the designated business or organization contact person. The designated contact person is the person who should receive this questionnaire. The designated contact person may not always be the one who actually completes the questionnaire. If different than the designated contact person, the contact information of the person completing the questionnaire can be indicated later in the questionnaire.

3. Current operational status

Verify or provide the current operational status of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name in question 1. If indicating the operational status of the business or organization is 'Not currently operational' then indicate an applicable reason and provide the requested information.

4. Main activity

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 associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational unit(s) 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.

If the current NAICS associated with this business or organizations is not correct, please provide a brief description of the main activity and provide any additional information as requested.

Industry Characteristics

Sales

1. Cost Center

A cost center is a department or section of a company where managers are directly responsible for costs. For example, consider a company that has a manufacturing department, a research and development department, and a payroll department. Each department could be a cost center. Cost centers do not directly report revenues as these are reported by another part of the company such as a head office.

2. Valuation of sales

Please indicate whether you will report at final selling price or any alternate valuation.

If you are a single business unit firm, sales must be reported at your final selling price.
If you are part of a multi-business unit firm:
a) sales to your firm's non-logging or non-manufacturing business units must be reported at your final selling price.
b) sales to your firm's logging or manufacturing business units, sales branches, selling warehouses or head offices should be reported at the value shown on your books of account (i.e., book transfer value)

Report all sales (domestic and exports) goods and services from Canadian locations at final selling price. Sales should be reported FOB factory gate: net of excise and provincial or territorial sales taxes, HST/GST, trade discounts, returns and allowances, and charges for outward transportation by common or contract carriers. (Note: FOB factory gate means truck gate if manufacturer is using own truck and driver).

Sales denominated in foreign currency should be converted into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate on the day of transaction.

Note: Goods reported as sold should not be included in inventory and goods held on consignment should be reported as inventory until actually sold.

Please note that the questionnaires for the manufacturing industries and the logging industries are slightly different. Depending on which one you have received, the questions might be worded slightly differently and some categories of revenue might not be part of your questionnaire.

General information

What is the Annual Survey of Logging Industries and why is it important?

The Annual Survey of Logging Industries is conducted every year by Statistics Canada to obtain important information on the manufacturing sector (including logging operations) of the Canadian economy. Manufacturing establishments in Canada are required to provide information on such aspects of their operations as sales, costs/expenses, salaries and wages. Results from the Annual Survey of Logging Industries help Statistics Canada in compiling key data on the Canadian economy, such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The total value of sales is used along with inventories to calculate production statistics. Total sales of individual products, and external trade data, are used to estimate the size of the Canadian market for particular goods.

The data are also published and are used by the business community, trade associations, municipal, provincial/territorial, and federal governments, international organizations and private citizens.

Businesses and governments depend on official statistics to make vital economic decisions. For example:

The Bank of Canada relies on the GDP to make decisions that influence interest and exchange rates, which in turn affect the costs of doing business;
Businesses and associations use the survey results to:
- track their performance against industry averages;
- evaluate expansion plans;
- prepare business plans for investors;
- adjust inflation-indexed contracts;
- plan marketing strategies.

Why was I chosen to receive the Annual Survey of Logging Industries?

To protect the confidentiality of data provided by respondents, only data in aggregate form are available for use.

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 Economic Development 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 2018–2019 Main Estimates and in the Statistics Canada 2018–2019 Departmental Plan.

The Quarterly Financial Report:

should be read in conjunction with the 2018–2019 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 2018–2019 fiscal year. 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 decrease in resources available for the year, as well as actual expenditures for the quarter ended December 31.

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 2018–2019 have decreased by $47.6 million, or 6.9%, from the previous year, from $691.7 million to $644.1 million (Chart 1). This net decrease is mostly the result of the following:

A decrease for the 2016 Census of Population program ($37.0 million) and for the 2016 Census of Agriculture program ($2.9 million) due to the cyclical nature of funding that is winding down;
A decrease of $23.3 million for negotiated salary adjustments;
A decrease of $19.0 million for the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement;
A decrease in the carry forward by $16.1 million;
An increase of $42.4 million for the 2021 Census of Population program and $4.6 million for the 2021 Census of Agriculture program for new cyclical funding received to cover planning and developmental activities;
An increase of $4.2 million for paylist allocations such as refundable salaries.

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. Vote netting authority is stable at $120 million in each of the fiscal years 2017–2018 and 2018–2019.

Significant changes to expenditures

Year-to-date net expenditures recorded to the end of the third quarter decreased by $21.6 million, or 5.2% from the previous year, from $412.6 million to $391.0 million (see Table A: Variation in Departmental Expenditures by Standard Object).

Statistics Canada spent approximately 74.6% of its authorities by the end of the third quarter, compared with 72.2% in the same quarter of 2017–2018.

Table A: **Variation in Departmental Expenditures by Standard Object (unaudited)**
Table summary: This table displays the variance of departmental expenditures by standard object between fiscal 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The variance is calculated for year to date expenditures as at the end of the third quarter. The row headers provide information by standard object. The column headers provide information in thousands of dollars and percentage variance for the year to date variation.
Departmental Expenditures Variation by Standard Object:	Q3 year-to-date variation between fiscal year 2017–2018 and 2018–2019

(10) Transfer payments	-	-
(12) Other subsidies and payments	-1,180	-20.4
Total gross budgetary expenditures	-17,211	-3.7
Less revenues netted against expenditures:
Revenues	4,411	7.8
Total net budgetary expenditures	-21,622	-5.2

Personnel: The decrease is mainly the result of the negotiated salary adjustments following the ratification of several collective agreements in 2017–2018 causing a temporary decrease in salary expenditures. This decrease is partly offset by the increase in expenditures of public servants for an increase in cost recovery and initiatives announced in Budget 2018.

Professional and special services: The increase is mainly due to additional external resources and consultants, various training activities for employees and to new software licences and contracts related to new initiatives.

Acquisition of machinery and equipment: The decrease is mainly due to a reduction in expenditures related to the workplace 2.0 project and to a timing difference in the payment of software maintenance and licences.

Other subsidies and payments: The decrease is mainly due to a timing difference of the non-salary payments related to the Statistical Survey Operations pay equity settlement.

Revenues: The increase is primarily the result of timing differences in the receipt of funds for scheduled key deliverables and increase in cost recovery projects.

The decrease is also explained by timing differences of payments at this period compared to last 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 IT services and support to attain its modernization objectives. 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. Risks and uncertainties are being mitigated by the agency's strong financial planning management practices and business architecture.

D) Significant changes to operations, personnel and programs

There were no major changes to the departmental operations during this quarter. Minor changes in program activities with financial implications include:

The Census program is ramping down operations from the 2016 Census and is in the planning phase for the 2021 Census. As such, expenditures for this program are significantly lower than other years within the 2016 cycle.
Budget 2018 announced funding for new initiatives. Expenditures related to these new initiatives have begun to ramp up and are expected to continue to do so throughout the fiscal year.

How we protect the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information

How does Statistics Canada obtain your personal information?

Statistics Canada obtains personal information from various sources:

Statistics Canada survey responses
Statistics Canada conducts hundreds of surveys each year on a variety of topics. Statistics Canada is obligated to protect the information that you provide.
Other organizations that collect your personal information
Similar to other international statistical agencies, our legislation allows us to reduce response burden and duplication by requesting and using existing data from organizations. Statistics Canada is obligated to protect your information in the same manner as the organization that originally collected your information. Find out more on Administrative data.
Client information
As a data user, when you purchase a product from Statistics Canada, we collect certain personal information and inform you about the collection, use and retention of this information. For example, when you visit Statistics Canada's website, we may collect some information using cookies or web analytics. Of note, we do not sell, distribute or transfer your information to anyone without your consent.

What we do with your personal information

We create statistics to fulfill our mandate
Statistics Canada uses information from large samples of Canadians to generate statistics that help us to gain insight into our society and economy.
We use data to its full potential
Whether Statistics Canada received your information directly or through another organization, we use it to its full potential. When data is linked from different files, Statistics Canada can produce more statistics and research to help us answer questions about complex issues that affect Canada. Data is aggregated and results are verified before they are released to ensure that individuals cannot be identified. See information on Approved microdata linkages.
We protect it
Your data is protected by laws and other measures that guard your privacy. The Statistics Act, the Privacy Act and other relevant federal policies and directives ensure your data is protected. Information technology (IT) systems protect your information from unauthorized outside access. All Statistics Canada employees take an oath to protect your information and receive mandatory confidentiality training. The oath is valid even after their employment has ended and is accompanied by penalties that include fines and imprisonment.

Statistics Canada removes direct identifiers from survey data files once the identifiers are no longer needed for analysis. However, it may still be possible to link a respondent's information through the Social Data Record Linkage Environment (SDLE). More information on Statistics Canada's Privacy Impact Assessment for the SDLE.
We ensure the privacy of your information
The Treasury Board Secretariat's Guidelines on Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) require federal organizations to conduct PIAs to assess the potential impact of Statistics Canada projects on the privacy of individuals when the personal information is used for administrative or regulatory purposes. Statistics Canada only uses personal information for statistical purposes and, as such, is not required to conduct PIAs. Regardless, we choose to demonstrate to Canadians our commitment to personal information protection by conducting PIAs to assess our impact on individual privacy. More information is available on our Privacy impact assessments.
We never use data for administrative or regulatory purposes
Statistics Canada's role is to produce statistics, not to make decisions about Canadians. In addition to never using your personal information for administrative or regulatory purposes, we do not give it to other organizations that would use it for those purposes. For example, Statistics Canada does not share your personal information with the Canada Revenue Agency or with law enforcement entities such as the police.

Who has access to your personal information?

Select Statistics Canada employees
Although all employees take an oath of secrecy, access to confidential information is only allowed if it is required by the employees to perform their duties. Access to your direct identifiers, such as your name, is restricted to an even smaller group of employees and only for a short period of time for statistical purposes, after which the direct identifiers are removed immediately.
Other organizations
Your personal information is never shared with other government organizations for statistical purposes, unless you consent explicitly. In such cases, we ensure that your information will be protected in accordance with specific terms and conditions. In some instances, your personal information might be provided to Statistics Canada by another organization. In that case, that organization is responsible for ensuring that it is allowed to authorize the disclosure of your personal information.
Researchers
Select researchers may have access to your personal information to conduct statistical work if their research has been approved by Statistics Canada and if they have taken the oath of secrecy (which all Statistics Canada employees must take). Researchers and deemed employees access confidential information in a secure environment under the supervision of a Statistics Canada employee. They are subject to the same penalties and fines as any other Statistics Canada employee. Furthermore, all research papers are vetted for confidentiality to ensure that no confidential information is released by the researcher.

How do I access my personal information?

Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information that Statistics Canada has about you. To request a copy of your personal information, please specify the survey in which you participated or the record that would have been provided to Statistics Canada by another organization. You can make a request by contacting the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) coordinator.

Please note that to protect an individual's privacy as much as possible, Statistics Canada generally removes direct identifiers such as names from files. In such cases, we may be unable to provide you with your information.

Statistics Canada collects data on all aspects of Canadian life—and you have a vital role to play. For more information see Infographic: The Journey of Statistics Canada Data.
