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 2025-2026 Main Estimates and in the Statistics Canada 2025-2026 Departmental Plan.

The Quarterly Financial Report:

• should be read in conjunction with the 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 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 increase in resources available for the year, as well as actual expenditures for the quarter ended September 30.

Chart 1 outlines the gross budgetary authorities, which represent the resources available for use for the year as of September 30.

Significant changes to authorities

Total authorities available for 2025-26 have increased by $97.1 million, or 11%, from the previous year, from $881.3 million to $978.4 million (Chart 1). The net increase is mostly the result of the following:

• An increase of $86 million in funding received to cover the advanced planning and intensifying production activities related to the ramping up of the 2026 Census of Population program;
• An increase of $14.5 million in funding related to compensation following the ratification of collective agreements;
• An increase of $12.2 million for the Employee Benefit Plan adjustments and for the carry forward from the previous year. The agency leverages the operating budget carry-forward mechanism to manage the cyclical nature of program operations and investments in the agency's strategic plan;
• A decrease of $32.4 million for various initiatives including Cloud Operations and the Canadian Dental Care Plan;
• An increase of $13.4 million for various initiatives including Canada’s Action Plan on Combatting Hate, the Clean Technology Data Strategy as well as funding to modernize and enhance the collection and dissemination of housing data, supporting Canada’s Housing Plan.

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 second quarter of fiscal years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.

Significant changes to expenditures

Year-to-date net expenditures recorded to the end of the second quarter increased by $6.3 million, or 1.6% from the previous year, from $388 million to $394.3 million (see Table A: Variation in Departmental Expenditures by Standard Object).

Statistics Canada spent approximately 45.9% of its authorities by the end of the second quarter, compared with 51% in the same quarter of 2024-2025.

Less revenues netted against expenditures:
Revenues	4,306	25.5
Total net budgetary expenditures	6,280	1.6
Note: Explanations are provided for variances of more than $1 million.

Personnel: The increase is primarily due to the cyclical nature of some of Statistics Canada’s programs, including the Census of Population program.

Professional and special services: The decrease is mainly attributable to the salaries of workers hired under the Statistics Act to operate the Census Help Line and to undertake data collection work during the Census Test, which began and ended in 2024. Additionally, there has been timing differences in invoicing compared to last year. 

Rentals: The decrease is mainly related to software licences, reflecting a reduction in costs as well as timing differences in invoicing compared to last year.

Revenues: The increase is mainly due to timing differences in invoicing compared to last year.

C) Significant changes to operations, personnel and programs

In 2025-26, the following changes in operations, personnel and program activities are underway:

• The 2026 Census of Population program is ramping up in preparation for next year when the Census will be conducted. As a result, expenditures for this program are increasing.
• Cloud funding is secured for 2025-26; however, funding to continue cloud operations beyond 2026–27 is not included in the agency’s appropriations, as an enterprise-wide funding model is pending. In December 2023, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat announced the GC Application Hosting Strategy which included the centralization of cloud operations within Shared Services Canada (SSC). As per the direction, a temporary transfer agreement, effective September 2024, was signed by Statistics Canada (StatCan) and SSC, to transfer certain cloud operations functions from StatCan to SSC which includes the corresponding human resource capacity to ensure continuity of StatCan’s cloud infrastructure operations.

D) Risks and uncertainties

Statistics Canada continues to address financial and operational uncertainties through its corporate risk management framework. Budget variations, particularly from cyclical programs such as the Census and anticipated adjustments stemming from the Comprehensive Expenditure Review require agile planning and strategic resource management. To ensure long-term financial sustainability, the agency is strengthening partnerships with government entities and modernizing its digital infrastructure.

To support its modernization efforts, Statistics Canada is strengthening its statistical operations and continuing to invest in workforce development and organizational efficiency. The agency remains dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace while streamlining operations and optimizing resources. Through continued collaboration with federal partners, the agency is reinforcing its financial stewardship and ensuring a resilient, adaptable organization that meets the evolving needs of Canadians.

Has Canada become a sedentary nation?

Health data have never been more accessible. We have smart watches to count our steps, notifications about our screen times and apps to track our daily diets.

Despite the futuristic tech, researchers are growing concerned. And they’re especially concerned about young Canadians.

Today we sat down with Rachel Colley, a senior health researcher at StatCan for a deep dive into Canada’s obesity, physical activity and screen time trends. And the new data from the Canadian Health Measures survey may surprise you. 

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is on the rise in Canada: New results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, 2022 to 2024

Consultative engagement objectives

In Statistics Canada, the Centre for Health Data Integration and Direct Measures (CHDIDM) is responsible for the production of statistics on health indicators that require direct measurements of physical health at the population level across several areas, such as chronic conditions, oral health, infectious disease, and environmental contaminants. As the CHDIDM envisions the future of their programs, they will, for instance, review and update survey designs, collection infrastructures, survey content, and analytical plans.

Statistics Canada (StatCan) is committed to the provision of quality data. As part of the Direct Health Measures Programs, the CHDIDM launched a series of engagement sessions with key stakeholders, such as government health entities, pan-Canadian organizations, provincial and territorial Statistical Focal Points, academic researchers, and non-government organizations.

These perspectives will help StatCan to plan the development of existing programs such as the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), as well as to design and implement new programs to meet stakeholder needs. The goal was to identify data needs and gaps, raise awareness of StatCan data holdings, learn from stakeholder’s subject matter expertise and explore potential collaboration.

Consultative engagement methods

Consultations on the Direct Health Measures Program were conducted virtually through information sessions that included group discussions with stakeholders from the broader Direct Health Measures community. Input was received from 58 different organisations including non-government organisations (NGOs), government organisations, and academic organisations. These sessions occurred during February 2025 and were publicized on Statistics Canada’s Consulting Canadians web page. Individual stakeholders were sent email invitations to participate and encouraged to circulate within their networks. In addition to the virtual sessions, interested individuals were invited to provide feedback through electronic forms or submit written responses. Overall, Statistics Canada moderated 16 sessions in both official languages and received feedback from 98 individuals representing 58 organisations from both the public and private sector.

What we heard from stakeholders

Our consultations revealed a desire on behalf of the participants to establish formal collaboration agreements with Statistics Canada, with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and expectations.

Participants expressed the importance of Statistics Canada’s data in their work but identified easier access to the data and more timeliness in its dissemination as potential areas of improvement. Participants identified that the most-used direct measures data sources were accelerometry (physical activity data), anthropometry, biomarkers, disease and health condition, sociodemographic information, drug toxicity and substance use, and chemical exposure data. They also identified needs for additional data on environmental health, nutrition, biomarkers, covariates, and specialized health topics and physical measures. Consultations confirmed that cross-sectional population-based surveys with national representation is sufficient to meet most current data needs. However, participants also confirmed the need for, additional geographic and variable data disaggregation. Current data gaps include data on the three territories, and longitudinal data as there are no sources of longitudinal direct health measure data within Statistics Canada’s data repository.

Statistics Canada thanks all participants for their participation and feedback in this consultative engagement initiative. We will continue to engage with specific stakeholders on specific surveys and topics to collaboratively work to address some of the feedback provided throughout the sessions.
