Core responsibility: Statistical information

Description

Statistics Canada's core responsibility is to produce objective, high-quality statistical information for the whole of Canada. The statistical information produced relates to the commercial, industrial, financial, social, economic, environmental and general activities and conditions of the people of Canada. Regardless of the topic, the agency aims for three broad results to measure the success of its activities:

• High-quality statistical information is available to Canadians.
• High-quality statistical information is accessed by Canadians.
• High-quality statistical information is relevant to Canadians.

In fulfilling its core responsibilities, Statistics Canada focuses on three fundamental areas.

• Providing vital data through statistical programs
• Upholding statistical standards
• Building trust in statistics and data ethics.

The role of the national statistical office: Statistical programs, standards and trust

The lives of Canadians are increasingly impacted by rapid changes in society, the economy and the environment. The population is growing quickly, becoming more diverse and aging. New technologies are changing how people work, produce and consume goods and services and interact with each other. Social and economic polarization is increasing while trust in governments, institutions and the media is declining. Canadians are also increasingly concerned about misinformation (Concerns with misinformation online). In this context, access to high-quality and trusted data is essential.

Statistics Canada's strategic plan for 2023 to 2026 outlines the broad directions that will enable the agency to meet the growing demand for reliable, timely data in a complex, digital environment, while focusing on modernizing processes and maintaining efficient operations. The plan reflects the agency's vision and provides a roadmap for continuing to meet the data needs of the country and maintaining its status as a world-class statistical organization. Guided by its strategic priorities, the agency will leverage cutting-edge tools and infrastructure and its skilled and diverse workforce to modernize its statistical programs and processes ensuring data quality and accessibility for generations to come.

For over 100 years, the agency has earned the trust of Canadians who provide information to our approximately 450 surveys. In return, the agency, commits to safeguarding their information and delivering timely and relevant insights on several important themes.

The information produced by Statistics Canada is utilized in several processes and programs that impact the delivery of services to Canadians. For example, economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP), the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the unemployment rate inform employment programs and influence fiscal and monetary policy that impact Canadians. Other statistics pertaining to social and environmental issues influence decisions on infrastructure, public services and disaster preparedness that also positively impact the population. The agency also ensures that its data reflect the unique experiences of racialized, cultural, gender and Indigenous population groups to work towards a more inclusive and prosperous country through data.

Most of the agency's statistical programs are used to support legislation and policy direction. Four programs, highlighted below, have particular importance in the context of labour, fiscal and monetary policies.

Census of Population

Statistics Canada is legally required to conduct the Census of Population every five years, with the next census planned for 2026. The Census of Population provides a detailed picture of Canada's changing demographic mosaic at a very detailed geographic level. Accurate population counts are required by several laws and programs at various levels of government. For example, population counts are used in the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act to establish annual transfer payments to the provinces and territories. In addition, all per capita measures in fiscal policies, arrangements and other economic analyses are based on census information. The Census of Population also helps define and establish federal electoral districts every 10 years, playing a critical role in the constitutional amending formula.

Census data cover a wide range of demographic, social and economic conditions of the population, including specific groups such as immigrants; seniors; language groups; ethnic groups; and First Nations people, Métis and Inuit. This makes Census of Population data important for all communities since it is vital for effective planning and policy decisions that serve the Canadian population.

System of National Accounts

The System of National Accounts is the internationally agreed framework for measuring economic activity. Statistics Canada compiles these accounts on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis by combining data from various sources, including the agency's business surveys and administrative data. Key macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP, national wealth, the saving rate, investment and labour productivity are part of this framework. These indicators are essential inputs for monetary and fiscal policy and are the basis for budgeting at every level of government.  National accounts data are also used to establish payments and disbursements, including government social programs (e.g., the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer), and form the basis of the revenue allocation formula for the harmonized sales tax program. The economic indicators from the national accounts are also used by credit rating agencies to assess credit risk of the various levels of government.

Labour Force Survey

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the cornerstone of Canada's labour market information. It is a monthly survey which measures the current state of the Canadian labour market and is the source of Canada's official unemployment rate.

LFS data are used in the administration of the Employment Insurance program, which is mandated under the Employment Insurance Act. It also informs the development of sound, evidence-based labour market policies by all levels of government. LFS data are widely used by the public, including job seekers, as a key source of insights on labour market conditions and contribute to job creation, education and training, retirement planning and income support.

Consumer Price Index

The CPI, measures changes in the prices of goods and services as experienced by Canadian consumers and is the standard measure of inflation in Canada. It is widely used to guide monetary policy and adjust wages, pensions, other contractual or legislated payments, and social program payments (e.g., Old Age Security and the Canada Pension Plan) in line with inflation. The CPI is key for adjusting income eligibility levels for government assistance, rent payments or income tax thresholds. Additionally, the CPI serves as an important input into the harmonized sales tax and Equalization programs for provinces and territories.

In recent years, the CPI has incorporated more data, including retailer scanner data (to improve the understanding of food price inflation, for example), telecommunications transaction data, and regulatory and administrative data. Annual updates to consumer spending patterns also ensure the CPI remains a high-quality inflation indicator, vital for the allocation of billions of dollars in government programs.

These advancements and increase in analysis and insights lead to a more informed population and better data for evidence-based planning for Canadians.

Upholding statistical standards

Statistics Canada's statistical programs are based on rigorous statistical standards that aim to ensure the information produced provides a consistent and coherent picture of Canada's economy, society and environment over time. Maintaining statistical standards also ensures that the agency's various data can be analyzed together and in combination with information from other sources. As such, statistical standards play a foundational role for growing statistical production and dissemination more widely.

Nationally, Statistics Canada has taken on a leadership role within the data and information governance structure of the 2023–2026 Data Strategy for the Federal Public Service. The agency also co-chairs the AI and Data Governance Standardization Collaborative to develop standardization strategies for data governance and artificial intelligence (AI) aligned with Canada's priorities.

Statistics Canada also plays a key role internationally. The agency constantly develops and updates statistical standards such as the North American Industry Classification System, North American Product Classification System and National Occupational Classification ensuring that these standards remain relevant and evolve over time. Standards related to concepts and variables (e.g., gender, population group and Indigenous group) and their associated classifications are also being updated regularly to align with the Census of Population cycles.

Statistics Canada is also active in the development of international data standards focusing on enhancing data management, usability and accessibility. The agency participates in various initiatives such as the Data Documentation Initiative, and Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange led by the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Additionally, the agency continues to play a key role in updating various statistical frameworks, such as the System of National Accounts and the System of Environmental Economic Accounting. These efforts aim to ensure these frameworks accurately reflect changes in the economy and society and robust measurement of the relationship between the economy and the environment. Statistics Canada also contributes to the international guidance for the 2030 round of censuses.

Trust in statistics and the role of data ethics

In addition to upholding rigorous statistical standards, it is essential that Statistics Canada have the trust of its data providers and users. As the source of official statistics in Canada, the agency maintains this trust by ensuring that data are treated responsibly and ethically throughout its life cycle (i.e., gather, guard, grow and give). These actions are guided by international standards, best practices and transparency, such as the United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics and its own Quality Guidelines framework to ensure data are relevant, impartial and available to all.

Statistics Canada applies its Necessity and Proportionality Framework and ethical review process when acquiring data (survey or administrative data). This framework ensures that only essential data are obtained, while the ethical review process emphasizes the secure, private and responsible use of the data. This review is based on six principles, including using data to benefit Canadians, ensuring the transparency and accountability of data acquisition and processing methods, and safeguarding individual privacy throughout the process.

An important element of building trust is transparency. In addition to its robust frameworks and processes, Statistics Canada strives to further build and preserve the trust of Canadians by informing Canadians about data acquisitions, data projects and data privacy management. Users can access this information on Statistics Canada's Trust Centre.

Quality of life impacts

Statistics Canada plays a key role in measuring the quality of life of people in Canada. As the steward of the Quality of Life Framework for Canada, the agency measures a set of more than 90 indicators and uses these data to disseminate key insights on observable trends and between-group differences in the well-being of the population through the Quality of Life Hub. The framework's indicators are organized into a series of domains reflecting the key determinants of well-being: prosperity, health, society, environment and good governance. The framework also includes two cross-cutting lenses, which are applied across all domains: fairness and inclusion, and sustainability and resilience.

The data Statistics Canada produces on the quality of life of people in Canada are used to drive evidence-based budgeting and decision-making at the federal level. Since 2021, the Quality of Life indicators have been used across government to describe the expected impacts of new programs and policies included in the annual budget process. All federal departments and agencies now use Quality of Life data to monitor and report on their results to Parliament. Beyond these uses within the Government of Canada, other levels of government, communities, not-for-profits and Indigenous-led organizations increasingly rely on these data to guide their own efforts to improve the quality of life of their various constituencies.

Statistics Canada's leadership in the area of quality of life measurement is consistent with its core responsibility to produce objective, high-quality statistical information for Canadians. Statistical information produced by the Quality of Life Statistics Program, enables others to take data-driven approaches to their own mandates to improve the quality of life of people in Canada.

2. Building a complete enabling infrastructure.
3. Shaping a healthy, diverse and skilled workforce to meet the current and future needs of Canadians.

These strategic priorities will strengthen the agency's infrastructure and statistical programs. They will help ensure that the organization can adapt to a rapidly changing environment and continue to meet the evolving data needs of Canadians by leveraging innovative tools and processes. Aligned with the strategic priorities the specific planned activities for 2025-26 are presented in three sections that follow.

• The Censuses
• New data development in economic statistics
• New data development in social statistics

Statistics Canada aims to continue to produce high-quality statistical information that matters to Canadians. As such, the plans to achieve results for statistical information in 2025-26 focus on these key priority areas that will shape Canada's data landscape in the coming years.

Key risks

Statistics Canada has implemented an integrated risk management process to identify, assess, prioritize and respond to risks related to its core responsibility. This approach informs the agency's business planning, ensuring that high-quality statistical information is made available, can be accessed and is relevant. Statistics Canada has identified, assessed and ranked six key corporate risks^{Footnote *} and has developed tailored strategies to mitigate them.

1. Public trust

There is a risk that Statistics Canada may not be perceived as a trusted national statistical office. This risk is mitigated by ongoing communication with Canadians to build awareness and promote public trust.

2. Financial sustainability

There is a risk that Statistics Canada may not be able to effectively fulfill its mandate because of financial pressures. To mitigate this risk, the agency is strengthening financial management by investing in targeted managerial training, enhancing key financial processes, and focusing on strategic investments that foster accountability and fiscal responsibility. The agency is also ensuring active consultations with central agencies and Shared Services Canada to support the enterprise-wide cloud funding model and diversify cost-recovery streams. Additionally, the agency is improving multi-year financial planning capabilities and governance to address budgetary constraints and implement cost-optimization measures to safeguard essential services.

3. Organizational resilience

To thrive in a continuously changing environment, Statistics Canada must focus on both its workforce and operational capabilities. This involves reassessing its processes, implementing major transformational initiatives and evolving to support employees through people management strategies, while ensuring technological and infrastructure readiness. The risks associated with organizational resilience are the following:

1. Empowering workforce excellence
   There is a risk that Statistics Canada may face challenges in delivering its mandate effectively, as employee departures result in loss of skills and corporate memory. In addition, the evolving nature of work may create new skill gaps. Both issues affect the ability to maintain a high-performing, diverse and healthy workforce. To mitigate this risk, the agency is developing a renewed people management strategy that fosters trust and a positive work environment to continue building on a strong organizational culture and supporting employees through periods of change. Additionally, the strategy outlines enhancements in the areas of recruitment, learning and training development, recognition, management, and well-being of a diverse, skilled workforce, as well as measures to ensure an inclusive and accessible workplace.
2. Operational resiliency
   There is a risk that Statistics Canada's programs and services delivery may fall behind and become obsolete if the agency does not transform its technology, infrastructure, business and strategic processes. Transformational initiatives related to technology, infrastructure, and business processes may impact the delivery of its programs and services. To minimize these risks the agency will continue to invest in transformational initiatives that are aligned with the agency's strategic plan, focusing on adopting emerging technologies, fostering innovation and upskilling employees. The agency is also investing in the next generation of statistical programs and operations by creating frameworks, adopting innovative digital solutions and collaborating with partners to bridge gaps in the agency's capabilities, ensuring Statistics Canada remains in line with latest advancements.

4. Privacy and confidentiality

There is a risk that Statistics Canada may experience a privacy breach or wrongful disclosure of information attributable to a variety of factors, including human error, changing security measures, cyber-attacks and gaps in data handling practices. To alleviate the likelihood of this risk, the agency ensures that the controls and safeguards to manage and protect the vast amount of confidential and sensitive information are in place and evolve continually. This is done while considering new technologies, continuing to integrate advanced cyber security and information management assessment processes, enhancing monitoring practices, strengthening the agency's data ethics and governance processes, and regularly assessing the agency's information security and information technology (IT) posture. Through training and awareness, the agency also promotes a culture of information management and cyber security awareness among staff to ensure adherence to security protocols and adapt to emerging cyber threats.

5. Relevance

There is a risk that Statistics Canada's statistical information and services may not meet the evolving needs and expectations of users. The agency reduces this risk by continuously strengthening statistical and IT infrastructures, closely monitoring internal and external environments, aligning statistical programs with evolving international standards, adapting to privacy legislation changes, and positioning the agency to deliver a unique value proposition to meet the evolving data requirements of external stakeholders. In addition, the agency continuously engages with policy makers to ensure the alignment of its statistical programs with policy shifts and regulatory updates.

6. Accuracy

There is a risk that Statistics Canada may not be able to release accurate statistics. This can be due to circumstances along the data life cycle, such as low response rate at the acquisition stage, or challenges arising during processing or dissemination. To mitigate this risk, the agency prioritizes the use of administrative and alternative data wherever possible. It also follows its Quality Assurance Framework, maintains instruments for validating methods and processes, ensures that sound management practices are integrated into processes, and investigates published errors to identify and address any deficiencies.

Internal services

Description

Internal services are the services that are provided within a department so that it can meet its corporate obligations and deliver its programs. There are 10 categories of internal services:

• management and oversight services
• communications services
• legal services
• human resources management services
• financial management services
• information management services
• information technology services
• real property management services
• materiel management services
• acquisition management services

Plans to achieve results

For Statistics Canada, the focus on internal services is aligned with one of the agency's strategic priorities: creating a healthy, diverse and skilled workforce to support the agency's mission and serving Canadians effectively and efficiently.

Statistics Canada is dedicated to creating a healthy and supportive work environment that fosters an inclusive, accessible and ethical workplace while enhancing the skills and capabilities of its workforce. Moreover, in this digital age, it is vital to provide the workforce with efficient IT support and services that keep pace with technological advancements. A healthy, effective and efficient workforce plays a crucial role in supporting the agency's mission and serving Canadians well. The following are key areas that guide internal services at Statistics Canada:

Equity, diversity and inclusion

Statistics Canada's 2021-2025 Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, while in its final year, will continue to advance work to create a workplace that is inclusive and respectful and that reflects the identities, abilities, backgrounds, cultures, skills, perspectives and experiences of Canada's increasingly diverse population. In 2025-26, the agency will focus its efforts on increasing the percentage of employees who self-identify (83.1% in October 2024), closing diversity gaps, and building and maintaining a diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace.

Statistics Canada's sustained progress toward a diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace is achieved through collaboration with the agency's employment equity networks and champions, stakeholder engagement, concrete and evidence-based actions driven by data and insights, and measurement of progress at regular intervals.

Preparations are underway to develop the 2025-2028 Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, including consultations with employees across the agency, the employment equity networks and bargaining agents. In addition, efforts are being made to further enhance the plan and create a more inclusive workplace that includes the pilot of the Privy Council Office's inclusion framework.

Accessibility action plan

In compliance with the Accessible Canada Act, Statistics Canada continues to implement its 2023 to 2025 accessibility action plan, as it seeks to build an accessibility-confident culture and a solid foundation, where products, programs, services, and the workplace and workspaces are accessible by design. This plan aims to ensure that all Statistics Canada employees are supported in a barrier-free environment, where their accessibility needs are met. The agency will begin preparing for the next iteration of the action plan in 2025-26.

Since launching the plan, the agency has continued to raise awareness about disability and accessibility and has undertaken efforts to meet the varying needs of employees and Canadians who use its products and services. To ensure that Canadians can access its data with ease, Statistics Canada will keep providing, leveraging and integrating accessible formats, such as American Sign Language and web accessibility for screen readers.

Values and ethics

The Integrity and Respect Program at Statistics Canada is a comprehensive initiative designed to offer advice, recommendations and guidance on key topics such as values and ethics, conflict of interest, political activities, internal disclosure, and harassment and violence prevention and resolution. The program features 14 integrity and respect awareness officers across the agency and will continue to serve as a safe and supportive space for employees at all levels.

To strengthen values and ethics within the agency, in 2025-26 the Integrity and Respect Program will develop key messages for all employees and tailored communications for executives addressing critical topics related to values and ethics.

Statistics Canada is dedicated to its ongoing response to the Deputy Ministers' Task Team on Values and Ethics Report to the Clerk of the Privy Council and the Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion in the Federal Public Service. For example, all employees are required to complete mandatory training—on values and ethics, the prevention of harassment and violence in the workplace, diversity, inclusion, and Indigenous reconciliation—which will be tracked to ensure ongoing compliance.

Capacity building

Statistics Canada's strong culture of learning has always been an asset critical to retention, succession and employee well-being. Investments in learning have shaped today's leadership, transformed the culture and nurtured professional networks across generations of colleagues. By investing in continuous skill development, the agency aims to build a workforce proficient in advanced statistical methods and data integration techniques, adaptable to the evolving demands of the digital age.

Building the next generation of data leaders, Statistics Canada will continue to develop modern skill sets, focusing on analytical skills, advanced statistical methods and data integration techniques. Recruits will spend anywhere from several weeks to a few months in full-time data-driven training offerings, graduating from recruitment programs with greater technical skills and deep subject-matter expertise, while also fostering their community of peers.

Greater access to specialized training will help nurture subject-matter and methodological experts. For example, training on the System of National Accounts will ensure sustained production of high-quality data on economic growth and composition. Statistics Canada is also implementing learning pathways to guide employees so they can leverage open-source tools and contribute to the adoption of an open-source and innovation-forward corporate culture.

In 2025-26, Statistics Canada will implement new coaching and leadership programs and expand access to middle managers. The objective is to cultivate resilient and adaptable leaders and empower all employees to reach their full potential. Renewing its commitment to learning, Statistics Canada will ensure equitable access to official languages training and build communities of practice that shape future leaders better equipped to act on modernization efforts.

Employee wellness

The agency's wellness activities aim to address the evolving needs of employees while ensuring inclusivity. A primary goal in 2025-26 is to finalize an updated wellness strategy that aligns with the agency's objectives and values, offering a variety of resources to meet the diverse needs of the workforce. This strategy will cover physical, psychological and emotional wellness, with formalized governance structures for effective implementation.

Given the evolving work environment, the updated wellness strategy will emphasize providing resources and support tailored to this new environment. An equity, diversity and inclusion lens will be applied to ensure services are meaningful, safe and culturally appropriate. The strategy will be data-driven, using insights from the Public Service Employee Survey and Employee Wellness Survey.

The agency will analyze these survey data to identify trends, support targeted actions, measure the impact of wellness initiatives, and set clear and measurable goals. These efforts are designed to proactively address potential issues, enhance the effectiveness of wellness programs and ensure ongoing improvement, ultimately fostering a workplace where all employees can thrive.

Information technology services

Effective IT services are critical to the success of any workplace. Statistics Canada will emphasize improving the user experience and promoting an agile, inclusive and well-equipped workforce through its digital solutions program. The agency will also lead digital talent strategies, collaborating with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and broader digital talent initiatives to build a workforce ready for digital-first delivery. Efforts to recruit Indigenous people and people with disabilities will continue, ensuring diverse representation in the digital talent pool.

In addition, Statistics Canada will enhance its IT services to support its programs and projects, focusing on creating cost-effective and comprehensive digital tools that align with the Policy on Service and Digital. In 2025-26, the agency will prioritize the modernization and optimization of its digital assets, establishing a multi-year implementation plan with clear roadmaps for all statistical programs and their supporting infrastructure. This plan will ensure that operational efficiency and the needs of statistical processes are central to the digital transformation.

Planned resources to achieve results

Complete financial and human resources information for the Statistics Canada's program inventory is available on GC InfoBase.

Planning for contracts awarded to Indigenous businesses

Government of Canada departments are to meet a target of awarding at least 5% of the total value of contracts to Indigenous businesses each year. This commitment is to be fully implemented by the end of 2024-25.

Statistics Canada incorporates Indigenous businesses as part of its procurement strategy. This includes using voluntary and conditional Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business set-asides when qualified Indigenous suppliers are identified in the market, raising awareness about the initiative with each requisition, and enhancing internal expertise through training sessions hosted by Indigenous Services Canada. The agency's forecasted targets were developed through consultation with key internal stakeholders, such as Security and Facilities Management, as well as an analysis of historical procurement data to identify commodities previously sourced by Indigenous businesses.

Statistics Canada's deputy head has approved an exception for software renewal contracts and specific software needs to support business objectives, including the Census of Population. While there may be an opportunity to open the software solution to competitive bidding when the contract expires, maintenance and support for software are limited by intellectual property and interoperability constraints. As a result, the mitigation strategy to reduce recurrence focuses on maximizing capacity with the Indigenous businesses.

Statistics Canada will track progress toward meeting the 5% target and will adjust its procurement strategies as needed.
