Notes to the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations (unaudited) for the year ending March 31

1. Methodology and significant assumptions

The Future-Oriented Statement of Operations has been prepared based on government priorities and departmental plans as described in the Departmental Plan.

The information in the forecasted results for fiscal year 2023-24 is based on actual results as at October 31, 2023 and on forecasts for the remainder of the fiscal year. Forecasts have been made for the planned results for fiscal year 2024-25.

The main assumptions underlying the forecasts are as follows:

  • The agency's activities will remain substantially the same as in the previous year.
  • Expenses and revenues, including the determination of amounts internal and external to the government, are based on historical trends and known cyclical changes.

These assumptions are made as at November 1, 2023.

2. Variations and changes to the forecast financial information

Although every attempt has been made to forecast final results for the remainder of 2023-24 and for 2024-25, actual results achieved for both years are likely to differ from the forecasted information presented, and this variation could be material.

In preparing this Future-Oriented Statement of Operations, Statistics Canada has made estimates and assumptions about the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and are continually evaluated.

Factors that could lead to material differences between the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations and the historical financial statements include:

  • the timing and the amount of acquisitions and disposals of property which may affect gains, losses and amortization expense;
  • the implementation of new collective agreements;
  • economic conditions, which may affect both the amount of revenue earned and the collectability of receivables; and
  • other changes to the operating budget, such as new initiatives or technical adjustments made later in the fiscal year.

After the Departmental Plan is tabled in Parliament, the agency will not be updating the forecasts for any changes in financial resources made in ensuing supplementary estimates. Variances will be explained in the Departmental Results Report.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The Future-Oriented Statement of Operations has been prepared using the Government of Canada's accounting policies in effect for fiscal year 2023-24 and is based on Canadian public sector accounting standards. The presentation and results using the stated accounting policies do not result in any significant differences from Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

(a) Expenses

Transfer payments are recorded as an expense in the year the transfer is authorized, and all eligibility criteria have been met by the recipient.

Other expenses are generally recorded when goods are received or services are rendered and include expenses related to personnel, professional and special services, repair and maintenance, utilities, materials and supplies, as well as amortization of tangible capital assets. Provisions to reflect changes in the value of assets or liabilities, such as provisions for bad debts, advances and inventory obsolescence, as well as utilization of inventories and prepaid expenses, and other are also included in other expenses.

(b) Revenues

Revenues received for special statistical services are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt. These amounts are recognized as revenue in the period in which the services are rendered and related expenses are incurred.

Deferred revenue consists of amounts received prior to the provision of goods or services that will be recognized as revenue in a subsequent fiscal year as the performance obligations are met.

Other revenues are recognized in the period the event giving rise to the revenues occurred.

Revenues that are non-respendable are not available to discharge the agency's liabilities. While the Chief Statistician is expected to maintain accounting control, he has no authority regarding the disposition of non-respendable revenues. As a result, non-respendable revenues are earned on behalf of the Government of Canada and are therefore presented as a reduction of the entity's gross revenues.

4. Parliamentary authorities

The agency is financed in part by the Government of Canada through parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to the agency differs from financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles because authorities are based mainly on cash flow requirements. Items recognized in the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations in one year may be funded through parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, the agency has a different net cost of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:

In February 2024, questions measuring the Labour Market Indicators were added to the Labour Force Survey as a supplement.

Questionnaire flow within the collection application is controlled dynamically based on responses provided throughout the survey. Therefore, some respondents will not receive all questions, and there is a small chance that some households will not receive any questions at all. This is based on their answers to certain LFS questions.

The Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs (TLAC) survey collects data for full-time students in degree programs at Canadian public postsecondary institutions. The survey was developed to provide an overview of tuition and additional compulsory fees, and living accommodation costs that students can expect to pay for an academic year.

TLAC survey data:

  • provides stakeholders, the public and students with annual tuition costs and changes in tuition fees from the previous year
  • contributes to a better understanding of the costs to obtain a degree
  • contributes to education policy development
  • contributes to the Consumer Price Index
  • facilitates interprovincial comparisons

II. Instructions

General

Tuition fee tables disseminated by Statistics Canada are based on an academic year for full-time students with a full course load in degree programs, regardless of the number of credits.

Tuition should be reported based on the academic year (8 months, September to April) or semester (4 months) regardless of the number of credits. If it is not possible to provide tuition data for a semester or academic year, tuition should be reported per credit.

Final fees should be reported for both academic years. If they have not yet been finalized for the 2024/2025 academic year, report the best estimate possible and check the box on the questionnaire to state that these are estimated fees for 2024/2025.

Part A: Tuition fees for full-time students

How to Report Tuition Fees:

  1. Report tuition fees for full-time students in degree programs only. The degree must be conferred by your institution, which means that students start and complete their degree at your institution. DO NOT include associate degrees, diplomas and certificates.
  2. Verify and update the previous year data (2023/2024) on each page if required.
  3. Report fees with decimals, NO commas. Example 2415.45.
  4. Quebec, Nova-Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario (if applicable):  Lower fees represent Canadian students that have a permanent address in the province (in-province students) and the Upper fees represent Canadian students with an out-of-province permanent address.  For Ontario respondents, please indicate in Comments section if your institution has implemented these differential fees.
  5. Academic year (8 months, September to April): When tuition is reported based on the academic year, report the full cost of the program regardless of the number of credits.
  6. Semester (4 months): When tuition is reported based on semester, report the full cost of the semester regardless of the number of credits. Semester fees will be multiplied by two to calculate tuition for the academic year (8 months).
  7. Per Credit: Only report per credit if you cannot report based on semester or academic year regardless of the number of credits. We assume 30 credits as the minimum number of credits to calculate academic year fees. Therefore, when reporting based on per credit, tuition will be multiplied by 30 credits.
  8. Report additional compulsory fees on pages 4 (undergraduate) and 5 (graduate).  Provide a breakdown of the Other compulsory fees in the Comments section.
  9. NEW degree programs must be specified in the Comments section at the bottom of page 2 (undergraduate) and page 3 (graduate).
  10. Undergraduate Law on page 2:  only professional designations for Law (LLB, JD, BCL), from a Faculty of Law should be reported in this grouping.
  11. Graduate Law on page 3:  only professional Law degrees from a Faculty of Law (post-LLB/JD), should be reported in this grouping.
  12. Tuition for legal studies degree programs leading to a non-professional law degree should be reported under "Social and Behavioural Sciences, and Legal Studies" on pages 2 and 3. See Appendix A.
  13. Only Medicine (MD, doctor of medicine) program should be reported under undergraduate Medicine, page 2 of the questionnaire. See Appendix A.
  14. Personal, Protective and Transportation Services includes:
    1. 43.0103 Criminal justice / law enforcement administration
    2. 43.0104 Criminal justice / safety studies
    3. 43.0106 Forensic science and technology
    4. 43.0107 Criminal justice / police science

Part B: Additional Compulsory fees for full-time Canadian Students

Important note: Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that students can opt out of with proof of comparable coverage should not be included. However, this information should be noted in the comments section of the questionnaire.

New for 2024/2025: Please provide a breakdown of the fees included in your Other fees in the Comments section. Specifically, include the amounts charged for registration, application, and transcript fees.

Part C: Living Accommodation costs at residences/housing

Accommodation costs should be reported wherever possible for full-time students living in residence. If it is not possible to separate the room and the meal plan costs for single students only a total should be reported.

III. Definitions

Tuition Fees

Tuition that is charged to a full-time student with a full course load, regardless of the number of credits.

Additional Compulsory fees

Additional compulsory fees collected by the TLAC survey are those that all students must pay regardless of the field of study (TLAC grouping).

These fees cover services that vary from institution to institution, year to year, faculty to faculty, or school to school within the same institution.

Additional compulsory fees may include: general fees (admission, application, registration, examination, internship, etc.), technology fees, student services fees, student association fees, contributions to student activities, copyright fees, premiums for compulsory insurance plans, fees for athletics and recreational facilities/activities, and other fees such as transcript, degree, laboratory, uniform, u-pass, etc.

Overview of the 2024 International Methodology Symposium

Statistics Canada is pleased to announce that its 2024 International Methodology Symposium will take place in Ottawa at the offices of Statistics Canada (with a virtual option) from October 29 to November 1, 2024, including workshops on the first day.

The theme of the 2024 international Methodology Symposium is "The Future of Official Statistics".

The future of official statistics will be shaped by our methods. Statistical agencies are increasingly adopting or investigating the new tools that researchers throughout the scientific community are using, whether they be programming languages, machine learning or artificial intelligence methods.

It will be shaped by our data. Intensified data integration will lead to higher quality statistical frames, more efficient data collection and more informative official statistics.

It will be shaped by ethics. Increased demand for granular data, particularly in social statistics, has led to meaningful and more robust measures of ethnicity and other sociodemographic indicators. At the same time, statistical agencies continue to seek a balance between providing granular estimates based on solid statistical framework with upholding the privacy of individuals and the confidentiality of their responses.

Importantly, it will be shaped ultimately by our community of professionals. Statistical training and professional development remain top priorities to produce official statistics. It is even more relevant considering the pace by which new methods and tools are developed.

The 2024 International Methodology Symposium brings together statisticians and data scientists, researchers and students to discuss the evolution of official statistics.

We invite contributed papers that examine methodological challenges related to the production of official statistics in a modern era. Topics may include the following:

  • Record linkage and statistical matching
  • Data integration
  • Administrative and alternative data sources
  • Big Data
  • Sampling frames and sample design
  • Collection
  • Edit and imputation
  • Measurement errors and estimation
  • Small area estimation
  • Data analysis
  • Non-probability samples
  • Data quality
  • Disclosure control
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning

The deadline to submit a proposal for the Symposium, May 3, 2024, has now passed. We thank all those who submitted a proposal!

For all accepted proposals, the presentation (in English or French) is due by September 6, 2024. Conference proceedings will be published online. A final paper must be submitted by January 10, 2025 for inclusion in the proceedings.

Please visit the website below periodically as further information will be provided on an ongoing basis: 2024 International Methodology Symposium

Statistics Canada’s Deliberative Public Engagement Research project

Canadians have been asking for more detailed data to address gender gaps, racism and other systemic barriers.

To provide this detailed data, Statistics Canada continues to explore new ways to get the most out of the data collected, for example, by combining census and administrative data held by other organizations. This process is called data linkage. Data linkages create an opportunity to access more accurate information and conduct comprehensive analyses. It also reduces the number of surveys Canadians are asked to complete.

Deliberative research objectives

Between October to December 2022, Statistics Canada undertook qualitative research to understand more about Canadians' perspective on the use of data linkages. A total of 45 participants were recruited from different demographic profiles and backgrounds with varying levels of trust in government and public institutions. After learning about the subject, together they developed a set of 14 overarching consensus statements reflecting the group's positions.

Deliberative research is a qualitative technique increasingly used within the social sciences and is distinguished from other forms of qualitative research in two ways: (1) participants are provided appropriate information on which they base their opinions and provide meaningful input, and (2) a set of final consensus statements are developed and voted on under the premise that, while members of society may have differences in values, opinions, and interests, they need to strive for common rules and practices that all can live with.

Main finding

Participants generally accepted that data linkages can and should be used at Statistics Canada to produce powerful new insights, as long as high-quality data are being analyzed in a protected environment.Participants don't necessarily perceive a boundary or limit on the use of data linkages for statistical programs

This research not only informs the conditions under which Canadians find the use of person-based linked administrative data socially acceptable but emphasize the fact that the use of administrative data must be situated within the greater context of the role and activities of the national statistical agency.
