Retail price and living cost survey

Introduction

The results of this study will be used to determine the Living Cost Differential allowance level payable under the Isolated Posts and Government Housing Directive. The range of goods and services included in this study are limited to those categories outlined in the Isolated Posts and Government Housing Directive as set out by the National Joint Council Committee on Isolated Posts and Government Housing.

Instructions

We would ask that this schedule be completed by each family or individual concerned. Your co-operation in ensuring that the necessary information is supplied as soon as possible will be appreciated. The various questions have been grouped under six basic sections:

SECTION A: General information relating to yourself, your family and the location at which you are stationed.
SECTION B: Miscellaneous information.
SECTION C: Information on Local versus Outside purchases.
SECTION D: Information on Outside purchases.
SECTION E: Comments on local conditions as they affect retail price and living cost levels.
SECTION F: Information on Insurance and Other Home Services.

The information that you provide should reflect your own purchasing practises and consumption patterns. Please describe only what applies to you and your family, do not try to give answers that represent the post as a whole. Actual retail prices for your location will be collected separately by either a Statistics Canada survey officer or your Survey Co-ordinator.

Once you have completely finished sections A-F, the questionnaire should be inserted into the self-addressed postage paid envelope, if provided, or mailed to the address on the front page of this survey or faxed to: (613) 951-5141

Confidentiality

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing any statistics which would divulge information obtained from this survey that relates to any identifiable business or institution or individual without the previous written consent of that business/individual/institution. The data reported on this questionnaire will be treated with the strictest confidence and will be used for statistical purposes that will be published in aggregate form only.

Introduction

This information is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under this act.

Purpose of Survey
The Youth Custody and Community Services (YCCS) survey provides important indicators as to the nature and characteristics of correctional caseflow that are of use to agencies responsible for the delivery of these services, the media and the public. The survey collects annual data on the delivery of youth correctional services by the provincial/territorial correctional systems. Key themes include: new admissions (commencements) to correctional programs of sentenced custody, probation, and other community-based programs. The information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Confidentiality
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which 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.

For More Information
Visit the "Information for survey participants" page at www.statcan.gc.ca.

Survey Instructions

1. Select the language of your choice by clicking the "English / Français" button displayed at the top of each page.
2. Enter data in white cells. Totals will calculate automatically in the shaded green cells and cannot be edited.
3. For tables 2 to 24, admissions and releases must be counted each time the custody or community status of an individual changes, providing an indication of the total workload associated with an individual as he/she moves through the corrections system. For example, a person admitted to pre-trial detention, sentenced to secure custody and supervision, followed by time served on probation is counted three times. For detailed definitions and scoring rules for admissions and releases, please refer to the glossary.
4. For table 1, Initial Entry counts must count only the status under which a person first makes contact with correctional services. Using the example in point 3, the same person must be counted only once, and the initial entry would be classified as pre-trial detention.
5. Means and medians cannot be automatically calculated by the questionnaire. These must be entered manually in tables 9, 13, 14, 18, 19, 23, and 24.
6. Clicking the "Glossary / Glossaire" button at the top of any page opens a list of the core definitions, ordered alphabetically to facilitate your search. Return to the survey by clicking the "Survey / l'Enquête" button.

Indicates whether the youth is Aboriginal. Aboriginal status includes North American Indian, Métis and Inuit whether registered or not. Please note that this variable is self-reported and data availability varies among jurisdictions.

Admission:
Admissions are collected each time a person begins any type of custodial or community supervision, and describe and measure the case-flow in correctional agencies over time. The same person can be included several times in the admission counts where the individual moves from one type of legal status to another (e.g., from open to secure custody) or re-enters the system in the same year. As such, admissions represent the number of entries within a fiscal year to sentenced custody, to remand, and to community supervision regardless of the individual's preceding or following legal status.

Age:
Refers to the age of the young person at the time of admission into a custody status or community program.

Aggregate sentence:
The earliest start date and the latest end date within a specific status.

Custody and Supervision - Community Portion:
The period of time, or the portion of the young persons youth sentence that must, with exception of completing an application for continuation of custody, be served in the community.

Custody and Supervision - Custodial Portion:
The period of time, or the portion of, the young persons youth sentence that must be served in custody before he or she begins to serve the remainder under community supervision.

Custody and Supervision - Murder:
An offense where a young person has committed or alleged to have committed first or second degree murder, attempt to commit murder, or manslaughter and for which the youth, if tried as an adult, would be liable to imprisonment for a term of more than two years.

Custody and Supervision - Other Presumptive:
An offense where a young person has committed or alleged to have committed aggravated sexual assault or a serious violent offence for which the youth, if tried as an adult, would be liable to imprisonment for a term of more than two years.

Deferred Custody:
Like a conditional sentence within adult sentencing, deferred custody is a community-based alternative to a custodial sentence. Under a deferred custody order, the young person will serve his or her sentence in the community under a set of strict conditions. If these conditions are not followed, the young person may be sent to custody to serve the balance of that sentence.

Extrajudicial Sanctions:
An action other than a judicial proceeding used to deal with a young person alleged to have committed an offence. Participants in extrajudicial sanctions program may or may not have been charged by the police. Information on extrajudicial sanctions is not within the scope of the YCCS.

Initial Entry:
The status representing the first point at which a youth commences uninterrupted supervision within the youth corrections system.

Intensive Rehabilitative Custody & Supervision (IRCS):
Sentence intended to be a treatment sentence applicable to young persons guilty of the most serious violent offences and who are suffering from mental, psychological, or emotional disorders. It is the most serious youth sentencing option available under the YCJA.

Intensive Support and Supervision Program:
(ISSP) - Provides intensive individual and family therapy for youth with complex mental health issues, who have been found guilty of an offence that would otherwise result in custody, but whose mental health issues are determined to best be addressed by home and community interventions.

Mean:
The mean of a population is obtained by adding up the values of every observation in the population and then dividing the result by the number of observations in the population.

Median:
The median of a population is referred to as the midpoint of a distribution, once the distribution has been arranged from the lowest to highest value, where an equal number of observations are above and below this point.

Most Serious Offence Categorization:
Admissions are categorized according to the offence violation codes in the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR) (see Appendix A). The most serious offence in each admission should be determined in accordance with the CCJS's courts-based offence seriousness ranking (see Appendix B).

Open custody:
A facility is considered "open" when there is minimal use of security devices or perimeter security. The extent to which facilities are "open" varies across jurisdictions. Open custody facilities include community residential centres, group homes, childcare institutions, forest or wilderness camps etc.

Probation:
A common type of community-based sentence, where the young person is placed under the supervision of a probation officer or other designated person. Unsupervised probation orders are excluded.

Provincial Director Remand:
To hold a young person in custody following the breach of community supervision conditions pursuant to a warrant issued by the Provincial Director.

Release:
Releases represent the end of a legal status in correctional services and do not necessarily represent the end of supervision by correctional services. The same person can be included several times in the release counts where the individual moves from one type of legal status to another (e.g., from remand to sentenced custody and then to community services). As such, releases represent the number of movements within a fiscal year out of remand, sentenced custody and the community statuses regardless of the individual's preceding or following legal status.

Remand/Pre-trial Detention:
To hold a young person temporarily in custody, while awaiting trial or sentencing.

Reporting Period:
The reference time period (e.g., fiscal year - April 1 to March 31) during which a youth must be active in order to be extracted for YCCS purposes. A youth is active if he/she is under the supervision of the Provincial/Territorial Director of youth corrections (e.g., serving a sentence, or under community supervision).

Secure Custody:
A facility is considered "secure" when young persons are detained by security devices, including those facilities which operate with full perimeter security features and/or where youths are under constant observation. The extent to which facilities are "secure" varies across jurisdictions.

Sentence:
Under the YCJA, a youth justice court orders a sentence upon finding a young person guilty of an offence. Sentence types include the following:

1. Custodial Sentences: include Custody and Supervision - open, and custody and supervision - secure; and
2. Community Supervision: includes intensive support and supervision, deferred custody and supervision, supervised probation, community service order, personal service order, compensation, restitution, or any other sentence deemed appropriate.

Sentence Length:
This refers to the aggregate sentence or total amount of continuous days for a particular sentence that a young person is ordered to serve under the Young Offenders Act or the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The specific amount of days must be for an uninterrupted period of time during which the youth is under the authority of the Provincial/Territorial Director. For multiple custodial sentences (i.e., secure and open custody), if sentences are concurrent then the sentence length is the longest sentence; if the sentences are consecutive, then the sentence length is the sum of all custodial sentences; and if sentences are both concurrent and consecutive then the aggregate sentence is the sum of both types as calculated above.

Sentenced Custody:
Refers to both secure and open custody.

Status of Supervision:
The program status in which the young person is under the responsibility of correctional services (e.g., secure custody, open custody, pre-trial detention, probation or other community supervision).

Time Served:
Refers to the aggregate time served or total amount of days a young person spent upon completion of an uninterrupted period of time under a particular status during which time the youth was under the authority of the Provincial/ Territorial Director.

Young Person (YCJA)/Young Offender (YOA):
A person who is twelve years of age or older, but less than eighteen years of age, at the time of committing an offence.

YCJA: Young Criminal Justice Act
YOA: Young Offenders Act

INTRODUCTION (INT)

INT_R01

This survey will collect data from First Nations people living off reserve, Métis and Inuit in Canada.
