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 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.

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic

Includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US)

Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international

Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers1 who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

1 Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Number of passengers = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Passenger-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Number of passengers = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

  • Flight stage A to B
  • Tonnes of goods = 5
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 161
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 805
  • Flight stage B to C
  • Tonnes of goods = 4
  • Distance between points ( km ) = 322
  • Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

The objective of the survey is to be a source of national information on corrections, which is directly related to the mandate of the CCJCSS of providing information to the justice community and the public on the nature and extent of crime and victimization and the administration of criminal and civil justice in Canada.

To achieve the survey's objective, Statistics Canada collects information on individuals under correctional supervision across the country according to a set of national data requirements (i.e., survey variables). The CCSS national data requirements were developed in consultation with the National Justice Statistics Initiative (NJSI), the federal-provincial-territorial partnership for the collection of information on the nature and extent of crime and the administration of civil and criminal justice in Canada.

Four new data elements are now being added to the national data requirements, namely sex at birth and gender, multiple identities for racialized groups, homelessness indicator and Intensive Rehabilitation Custody and Supervision (IRCS) program number. The new data elements will help meet data gaps, keep pace with and align with Statistics Canada standards, collect information in a consistent manner, allow enhanced analytical capacity to meet research needs and produce information at a disaggregated level. These new measures will help inform and contribute to the creation of evidence-based policy and program development which will benefit correctional services programs and justice partners, as well as the Canadian public.

Sex at birth and gender. These two new variables will be developed to replace the sex variable currently collected by the CCSS. The additions of gender identity and gender expression in the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code, as well as some sources of administrative data changing from sex to gender, necessitated distinguishing the concepts of gender and sex within the National Statistical System.Footnote2 Collecting sex at birth and gender will allow the CCSS to capture data as per the Statistics Canada standards and fill current data gaps. It will also allow the CCSS to keep pace with information available from correctional services programs and support programs to collect these data in a consistent manner.

Multiple identities for racialized groups. Currently, the CCSS includes a variable to collect information on racialized group and allows a single response for an individual. The CCSS will redevelop this variable to allow the collection of multiple racialized group responses for an individual. Redeveloping this variable will allow the CCSS to capture any updated categories in the Statistics Canada standard classifications and keep pace with the way some correctional services programs are beginning to collect this information.

Homelessness indicator. Correctional services programs across Canada have started developing consensus around collecting data on homelessness. The CCSS will develop a new variable to collect an indicator of homelessness on the intake and discharge of persons from correctional supervision. Given the correlation between housing instability and correctional involvement, data on the residential stability of persons supervised by corrections are useful for research purposes.

Intensive Rehabilitation Custody Supervision (IRCS) program number. The federal Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision (IRCS) Program is a contribution program with all provinces and territories for the delivery of specialized therapeutic programs and services for youth with mental health needs who are convicted of a serious violent offence. The scope of the CCSS includes IRCS programs and the CCSS currently collects information from youth correctional service programs. However, the IRCS population is not currently identifiable in the dataset because the IRCS program number is not provided to the CCSS. The CCSS will develop a new variable to collect the IRCS program number for the youth population in custody under the supervision of these programs.

Reason for addendum:

While the Generic Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) and the Supplement to the Generic Privacy Impact Assessment related to the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS) addresses most of the privacy and security risks related to statistical activities conducted by Statistics Canada, and for the initial data collection of the CCSS, this addendum addresses the collection of additional sensitive personal information. As is the case with all PIAs, Statistics Canada's privacy framework ensures that elements of privacy protection and privacy controls are documented and applied.

Necessity and Proportionality

The collection and use of the additional personal information for the CCSS can be justified against Statistics Canada's Necessity and Proportionality Framework:

1. Necessity: Statistics Canada requires the information to produce accurate information on the correctional population in Canada and specifically to produce valuable demographic information at a disaggregated level on the federal, provincial, and territorial populations supervised under correctional services.

The additional sociodemographic data collected for sex at birth, gender, and multiple identities for racialized groups is needed for disaggregated analysis of subgroups of the affected population. The Government of Canada's Federal Framework to Reduce Recidivism aims to include measures to develop standardized and evidence-based programs aimed at reducing recidivism and to evaluate and improve risk assessment instruments and procedures to address racial and cultural biases and ensure that all people who are incarcerated have access to appropriate programs that will help reduce recidivism. Correctional services programs and justice partners, as well as the Canadian public, will benefit from the additional data as the information contributes to the creation of evidence-based policy and program development, and thereby contributes to the public interest.

Sex at birth and gender. Information on sex at birth and gender helps fill current data gaps and inform the justice community on the unique needs and considerations of women and gender-diverse populations under correctional supervision. Understanding these needs and challenges provides stakeholders the context to develop evidence-based approaches and programs to support the complex challenges faced by these individuals. The availability of appropriate and culturally sensitive supports, such as access to healthcare, protocol related to staff interactions (e.g., health monitoring and security searches) and accessible programming, will help improve the safety and dignity of gender-diverse individuals under correctional supervision and improve successful reintegration into society after incarceration.

Multiple identities for racialized groups. Information on ethnicity aims to better understand the experiences of racialized groups in terms of their interactions and involvement with correctional systems and with the criminal justice system more generally. Acquiring information on ethnicity is critical to developing population-based indicators and re-contact indicators to measure representation of sub-populations in the correctional systems. These measures will inform policy and program development aimed at addressing overrepresentation of otherwise unreported racialized groups within the correctional system. As some correctional services programs are now beginning to capture multiple racialized groups, the redevelopment of this variable allows the CCSS to collect the added detail and provides the opportunity for disaggregated analysis of diverse sub-populations.

Homelessness indicator. Evidence in the correctional literature has shown that incarceration and homelessness are closely related. Being homeless increases the risk of offending and being released without stable and secure housing leads to a greater risk of recidivism.Footnote3 Development of a homelessness indicator will allow the CCSS to collect this information on both the intake and discharge of persons from correctional supervision. This new indicator will help meet data gaps and provide information on a vulnerable population that is difficult to track due to its transient nature and social circumstances. Data on the residential stability of persons supervised by corrections will improve the understanding of this population and help support the development of programming, such as reintegration support programs, aimed at addressing housing and community integration after release.

Intensive Rehabilitation Custody Supervision (IRCS) program number. The federal IRCS Program is a contribution program with all provinces and territories for the delivery of specialized therapeutic programs and services for youth with mental health needs who are convicted of a serious violent offence. The IRCS program is funded by the Department of Justice Canada and has been available since 2003.  Only youth justice service programs operated by provincial and territorial governments receive funding. The main objectives of IRCS programs are to reduce recidivism and support the rehabilitation and reintegration of these high-risk youth back into society. Summarized information describing outcomes of youth after participating in IRCS programs, and where appropriate, contrasting with outcomes for non-participant cohorts, has been a critical data gap in terms of evaluating the success of IRCS programs for many years. This update will allow linkage opportunities using Statistics Canada's Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE)Footnote4 to identify criminal justice system re-contacts and perform outcome studies for the IRCS population. Understanding the impact of the IRCS program is crucial for developing and altering stakeholder programs to reduce recidivism and support youth rehabilitation and re-integration of at-risk youth back into society. These data will help fill the need to inform evidence-driven approaches to crime prevention and programs aimed at reducing recidivism, as well as programs designed for rehabilitation, community integration, and public safety. This research has the potential to lead to positive changes in the lives of individual youth who experience these programs, as well as benefitting society at a broader level.

2. Effectiveness - Working assumptions: The addition of variables to the CCSS helps meet data gaps and will improve alignment with Statistics Canada standards and reporting consistency. In addition, the new and modified variables being collected will allow enhanced analytical capacity to meet research needs and disaggregated data analysis. Given that the CCSS is currently in collection, Statistics Canada has validated the effectiveness of collecting this information directly from institutions to generate statistics on the correctional services population. The current expansion of the collection increases the content of the dataset, and thus the effectiveness of the insights being derived from it.

Disaggregating results by sex at birth and gender and racialized group, as well as information on the incarcerated homeless population and IRCS participants, can provide new basis for analysis on the experiences of specific groups and subgroups. Results can yield new insights and provide more nuanced information on vulnerable population groups, specifically indicators of re-contact with the justice system and overrepresentation, for policymakers to use.

Federal and provincial/territorial justice partners were consulted to ensure that these new and modified data elements meet identified data gaps related to socio-demographics and provide valuable information for research priorities. Furthermore, discussions with correctional services programs and current CCSS data providers have indicated that some jurisdictions have all or some of the new variables available in their information systems. Collection using the current CCSS methodology is feasible.

3. Proportionality:

The research findings are expected to inform policies and lead to positive changes within correctional services and IRCS programs in Canada.

While the new variables on sex at birth, gender, racialized group, IRCS program and homelessness are sensitive, these data will improve knowledge and understanding of experiences of gender-diverse populations, racialized groups, at-risk youth, and homeless offenders within the correctional system. The new data will allow the development of population-based indicators and re-contact indicators using disaggregated data to measure representation of these sub-populations in correctional systems and therefore allow for targeting policy recommendations that are specific to the groups being represented that aren't otherwise differentiated from groups identified in the current collection variables. Findings will help inform evidence-driven approaches to public safety, crime prevention and programs aimed at reducing recidivism, as well as programs designed for rehabilitation and community integration for these vulnerable populations. Improving these approaches for otherwise unknown or undetectable groups is considered to be of utmost importance to federal justice partners and stakeholders.

The potential benefits and positive changes to social and justice-related programs and services are considered proportional to the overall risks to privacy.

4. Alternatives: Administrative data from the federal, provincial and territorial correctional services programs in Canada represent the only practical and accurate source of information to collect these data. Statistics Canada's existing CCSS is the only high-quality source of information on individuals under supervision within the correctional system at a national level. Given that the new variables were not previously collected by the CCSS, they are not currently available elsewhere. Further, the CCSS is the only reliable data source at this level that can be combined with information on the general population to provide re-contact and overrepresentation indicators and allow analysis of these critical justice issues. The CCSS methodology is well established and integration of the new variables within the current process would be the most efficient approach to collection.

Mitigation factors:

The new variables can be considered sensitive as they relate to personal information on sex at birth, gender, racialized group, homelessness, and participation in an IRCS program. As with the initial iteration of the CCSS, and all surveys at Statistics Canada, all directives and policies with respect to administrative data collection and publication will be followed to ensure the confidentiality of the data. Personal identifiers will be removed from the analytical file as soon as operationally feasible and in keeping with Statistics Canada's practices, as outlined in the agency's Generic PIA.Footnote5 Only non-confidential aggregate statistics and analyses conforming to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act will be released outside of Statistics Canada. As with all Statistics Canada statistical programs, strict disclosure controls will apply, ensuring that individual responses and results for small groups will not be published. This approach reduces any potential impact on vulnerable populations or subsets of populations, as the grouping of results will protect the confidentiality of individuals within a particular subset of the population.

The overall risk of harm to individuals under correctional supervision is deemed manageable with existing Statistics Canada safeguards that are described in Statistics Canada's Generic Privacy Impact Assessment and in the original Supplement to Statistics Canada's Generic Privacy Impact Assessment related to the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS).

Conclusion:

This assessment concludes that, with the existing Statistics Canada safeguards, any remaining risks are such that Statistics Canada is prepared to accept and manage the risk.

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 information from this survey for statistical purposes.

Table of contents

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).

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.

To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 classes; 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.

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.

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns – domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US) includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international includes all other operations, (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight – that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengersFootnote 1 who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

Flight stage A to B
Number of passengers = 5
Distance between points (km) = 161
Passenger-kilometres = 805

Flight stage B to C
Number of passengers = 4
Distance between points (km) = 322
Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6,080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5,280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

Flight stage A to B
Tonnes of goods = 5
Distance between points (km) = 161
Goods tonne-kilometres = 805

Flight stage B to C
Tonnes of goods = 4
Distance between points (km) = 322
Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6,080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5,280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

2. Scheduled services - revenue

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Passenger revenue

Refers to the revenue earned from the transportation of passengers on scheduled services. Include revenue from all surcharges (baggage, fuel, seat selection, and so on) that are retained by the air carrier. Exclude amounts such as taxes, navigation fees, security fees, and so on that are collected but passed on to other entities. Total passenger revenue should equal the passenger revenue from scheduled services from the first screen.

Goods revenue

Refers to the revenue earned from the transportation of goods on scheduled services. Exclude taxes such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) or Provincial Sales Tax (PST). Total goods revenue should equal the goods revenue from scheduled services from the first screen.

Definitions

What are Capital Expenditures?

Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).

Fixed assets are also known as capital assets or property, plant and equipment. They are items with a useful life of more than one year and are not purchased for resale but rather for use in the entity's production of goods and services.

Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.

Include:

  • Modifications, acquisitions and major renovations
  • Capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
  • Subsidies and grants received and used in additions to fixed assets and construction-in-progress during the period
  • Capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
  • Work done by own labour force
  • Additions to capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) accounts.

Exclude:

  • Transfers from capital work in progress (construction-in-progress) to fixed assets accounts
  • Assets associated with the acquisition of companies
  • Property developed for sale and machinery, or equipment acquired for sale (inventory).

How to Treat Leases

Include:

  • assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease;
  • assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.

Exclude:

  • operating leases acquired as a lessee and capitalized to right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 (International Financial Reporting Standards)
  • assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.

Non-Capital Repair and Maintenance Expenditures

This question represents the repair and maintenance of assets in contrast to the acquisition of assets or the renovation of assets.

Non-capitalized repair and maintenance expenditures are that portion of current or operating expenditures charged against revenue in the year incurred and made for the purpose of keeping the stock of fixed assets in good working condition during the life originally intended.

Repair and maintenance allow such fixed assets to operate at output producing capacity during the asset life without undue amounts of down time (preventive function). A second purpose is the returning of any portion of the stock of fixed assets into a state of good working condition after any malfunctioning or reduced efficiency for whatever reason (curative function) short of replacement of such fixed assets or adding significantly to their life or productive efficiency.

Maintenance expenditures on buildings and other structures may include the routine care of assets such as janitorial services, snow removal and/or salting and sanding by the firm's own employees or persons outside the firm's employ.

Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.

Include:

  • Gross non-capital repair and maintenance expenditures on non-residential buildings, other structures and on machinery and equipment;
  • Value of repair work done by your own employees as well as payments to persons outside your employ;
  • Building maintenance such as janitorial services, snow removal and sanding;
  • Equipment maintenance such as oil changes and lubrication of vehicles and other machinery.

Industry characteristics

New Assets: Report capital expenditures for acquisitions of new assets including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used assets since they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.

Purchase of Used Canadian Assets: The object of our survey is to measure the acquisitions of new fixed assets separately from used fixed assets in the Canadian economy as a whole. This is because the acquisition of used assets does not increase the total inventory of fixed assets, it only transfers them within the Canadian economy.

Renovation, Retrofit, Refurbishing, Overhauling and Restoration: Report capital expenditures for existing assets being upgraded, renovated, retrofitted, refurbished, overhauled or restored.

Expected Useful Life of Assets: Report the expected life of the asset in years. If you have purchased similar assets with varying expected useful lives, please combine the data and provide a weighted average for the number of years, or the expected useful life of the asset with the largest value.

Land: Capital expenditures for land should include all costs associated with the purchase of the land that are not amortized or depreciated. Improvements of land should be reported in Non-Residential Construction.

Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for residential structures (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees).

  • Include the housing portion of multi-purpose projects and of townsites.
  • Exclude buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizens residences) and associated expenditures on services.

Non-Residential Construction: Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential building and engineering construction (on a contracted basis and/or by your own employees) whether for your own use or rent to others. Construction structures should be classified to an asset according to its principal use unless it is a multi-purpose structure where we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery and equipment which is an integral or built-in feature of the structure (i.e. elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental controls, intercom systems, etc.) should be reported as part of that structure as well as landscaping, associated parking lots, etc.

Include:

  • Manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.;
  • Roads, bridges, sewers, electric power lines, underground cables, etc.;
  • The cost of demolition of buildings, land servicing and site preparation;
  • Leasehold and land improvements.
  • Additions to work in progress;
  • Townsite facilities such as streets, sewers, stores and schools;
  • Buildings that have accommodation units without self contained or exclusive use of bathroom and kitchen facilities (e.g., some student and senior citizen residences) and associated expenditures on services;
  • All preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.

Machinery and Equipment

Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for machinery and equipment, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Machinery and equipment are generally housed in structures and can be removed or replaced without significantly altering the structure.

Include:

  • Automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances;
  • Computers (hardware only), broadcasting, telecommunications and other information and communication technologies equipment;
  • Motors, generators, transformers;
  • Any capitalized tooling expenses;
  • Acquisitions to work in progress;
  • Progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made;
  • Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.

Oil and Gas and Mineral Exploration: These expenditures include mineral rights fees and retention costs, geological, geophysical and seismic expenses, exploration drilling, and other costs incurred during the reporting period in order to determine whether mineral, oil or gas reserves exist and can be exploited commercially. Report gross expenditures, before deducting any incentive grants. Exclude the cost of land and business acquisitions.

Work in Progress: Work in progress represents accumulated costs since the start of capital projects which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.

Cost component of expenditures – internal costs

Internal construction or development costs: (such as material and labour) that are capitalized as part of the asset costs (such as own employee installation or erection of fixed assets, systems and software development staff).

Include all materials and supplies provided free to contractors and all architects, engineering and consultants fees and similar services.

Salaries and Wages: Show the total value of salaries and wages paid to your employees. Salaries and wages are gross earnings before deductions such as income tax and include incentive bonuses and vacation pay but exclude fringe benefits.

Materials and Supplies: Report total cost of materials and supplies used by your own employees and those provided free to contractors relating to the expenditures reported.

Other Charges: Examples of other charges are insurance, power, telephone and also architectural, legal, and engineering fees considered to be applicable to the expenditures reported.

Source of Funding Breakdown

Sources of funding of capital expenditures include grants, subsidies, donations, credit and venture capital from external sources, as well as internal funding.

Environmental protection and resource management expenditures

These questions cover the capital and repair expenditures made by this organization in order to prevent, reduce or eliminate pollution and other forms of degradation of the environment while performing your production activity, i.e., within your organization. Expenditures made to restore the environment from a degraded state are included. It can also be expenditures made for resource management activities which result in the more efficient use of natural resources, thus safeguarding against their depletion or the use of goods that have been adapted to be significantly less energy or resource intensive than the industry standard. This includes expenditures that this specific operation incurred for pollution prevention and abatement and control. Exclude expenditures made to improve employee health, workplace safety, and site beautification. Please report all environmental protection or resource management expenditures whether or not they are in response to current or anticipated Canadian or international regulations, conventions or voluntary agreements.

Specific activities are: Solid waste management; Wastewater management; Air pollution management; Protection and remediation of soil, groundwater and surface water; Protection of biodiversity and habitat; Noise and vibration abatement; Protection against radiation; Heat or energy savings and management; Fuel efficient vehicles and transportation goods or technologies; Production of energy from renewable sources; Renewable energy; Production of nuclear energy; and any other environmental protection or resource management activities.

Drivers and obstacles: Drivers or obstacles to the adoption of new or significantly improved clean technologies, systems or equipment for the establishment. ng.

Disposal and sales of fixed assets

Selling price

The total value, or the sales of fixed assets which were disposed of or sold, even if traded in for credit in the acquisition or purchase of new fixed assets. When land and buildings are sold together, please report the selling price of the land separately, along with other land sales.

Gross book value

This value should represent total capital expenditures for an asset, at and since the time of original construction or purchase, including all subsequent capital expenditures for the purpose of modernization, expansion, etc. Any subsidies received should not be subtracted.

Age

Report the age of the fixed asset at the time of disposal.

If you have disposed of or sold similar assets of varying ages, report them separately or combine the data and provide a weighted average for the ages.

2024 Annual Oil and Gas Extraction Survey

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.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The 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 classes; 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.

Supplement to Statistics Canada’s Generic Privacy Impact Assessment regarding the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS)

Date: October 2024

Program manager:

  • Director, Centre for Social Data Integration and Development
  • Director General, Social Data Insights, Integration and Innovation

Reference to Personal Information Bank (PIB):

Personal information collected through the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS) is described in Statistics Canada’s “Special Surveys” Personal Information Bank. The Personal Information Bank refers to information collected through Statistics Canada’s ad hoc surveys, which are conducted on behalf of other government departments, under the authority of the Statistics Act. "Special surveys" covers a variety of socio-economic topics including health, housing, labour market, education and literacy, as well as demographic data.

The “Special Surveys” Personal Information Bank (Bank number: StatCan PPU 016) is published on the Statistics Canada website under the Information about Programs and Information Holdings chapter.

Description of statistical activity:

Under the authority of the Statistics ActFootnote1, Statistics Canada will be conducting the 2024 cycle of the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), a voluntary survey conducted approximately once every five years, on behalf of Women and Gender Equality (WaGE), in support of the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence. This cycle of the SSPPS combines three previous surveys that collected information about personal experiences with unwanted behaviours and violence in various settings. Most questions were drawn from these three surveys: the 2018 SSPPS, the 2019 Survey on Individual Safety in the Postsecondary Student Population (SISPSP)Footnote2, and the 2020 Survey of Sexual Misconduct at Work (SSMW)Footnote3, with some additional questions to help clarify the context in which a behaviour was experienced (i.e., work, school, online, or another public space).

The SSPPS includes questions about inappropriate sexual behaviours observed and experienced in the workplace, at school, online, and in other public places, and the impact of those behaviours on the respondent. It also asks questions about experiences of violent victimization, intimate partner violence and other lifetime experiences such as homelessness, and follow-up questions about the impact of those experiences, including use of drugs or alcohol to cope with the experiences. The survey also includes questions on the age, province of residence, postal code, sex at birth, gender identity, population group and Indigenous identity, immigration and citizenship status, marital status, religion, and disability of the respondent. Additionally, information about personal and household income will be linked from the T1 Family File using Statistics Canada’s Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE)Footnote4. With this information, the survey is expected to provide insights on the prevalence and nature of harassment, discrimination, and violent victimization in Canadian homes, work-related settings, schools, public spaces, and online, and explore differences in these experiences based on age, sex and gender, sexual orientation, and other socio-demographic factors listed above, which will inform policies, laws, programs, and support services aimed at preventing and addressing victimization.

This data will be collected from individuals aged 15 years and older who live in the 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada, excluding people living on reserves and full-time residents of institutions (i.e., six months or more).

The final master file with no personally identifying information will be made available in Statistics Canada’s Research Data Centres (RDCs)Footnote5 where researchers can be granted access upon approval of their request to access the dataset for specified statistical research. Only fully anonymized and non-confidential aggregate results without direct identifiers, that are processed to mitigate against the possibility of re-identification of individuals, can be released from RDCs. There is no planned sharing of the SSPPS data.

Reason for supplement:

While the Generic Privacy Impact AssessmentFootnote6 (PIA) addresses most of the privacy and security risks related to statistical activities conducted by Statistics Canada, including the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces, this supplement was developed due to the nature of the survey content which can be deemed particularly sensitive, and that it includes individuals aged 15 years and older. It describes additional measures implemented to support respondents during collection, and protections surrounding access to the information. This supplement also presents an analysis of the necessity and proportionality of this new collection of personal information. As is the case with all PIAs, Statistics Canada's privacy framework ensures that elements of privacy protection and privacy controls are documented and applied.

Necessity and Proportionality

The collection and use of personal information for the SSPPS can be justified against Statistics Canada’s Necessity and Proportionality Framework:

  1. Necessity: The 2024 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS) will support the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based ViolenceFootnote7, a plan which was informed by results of the 2018 SSPPS. The 2018 SSPPS was the first survey of its kind conducted in Canada and provided valuable insight into experiences of violence among various sectors of the population. A second cycle of the SSPPS is required to measure changes in the prevalence and severity of gender-based violence over time, and obtain better intersectional data on young Canadians, non-binary, gender diverse and transgender populations, and Indigenous populations in Canada. This next cycle of the SSPPS will also fill major data gaps regarding changes to self-reported rates of gender-based violence in Canada after the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The content and scope of the 2024 SSPPS were defined following discussions with a range of stakeholders and subject matter experts including academics, researchers, service providers, provincial and territorial governments, and Women and Gender Equality (WaGE) Canada. The content of the survey was deemed necessary for understanding, preventing, and addressing experiences of inappropriate sexual behaviours. This includes discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender, and sexual victimization at home, at work, at school, in public spaces, and online. Research suggests the risk of experiencing sexual harassment and victimization varies based on a number of factors such as age, gender, sexual orientation, and other factors listed above. The target population for this survey includes those aged 15 or older living in Canada, with specific oversamplesFootnote8 of young people, gender minorities and Indigenous people living off reserve to ensure enough data is collected to produce meaningful and publishable statistics that protect the confidentiality of respondents.

    WaGE has identified data collection and research on experiences of gender-based violence against youth as one of the main pillars of the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence. It is essential that youth aged 15-17 are included in the target population for the SSPPS, as it has been well-established in past research that younger people experience violent victimization at consistently higher rates than older adultsFootnote9. For example, results of the 2019 General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians’ Safety indicate that those aged 15 to 24 experienced significantly more violent victimization (176 incidents per 1,000 population) compared to those aged 35 or older (135 per 1,000)Footnote10. Results from the last cycle of the SSPPS have demonstrated that dating violence is particularly prevalent among those aged 15-17, with 45% of respondents in this age group indicating experiences of violence in their dating relationships in the year preceding collectionFootnote11. Sexual violence was highest among those aged 15 to 17 (60 victims per 100,000) compared to those aged 18 to 24 (43 per 100,000) and those over 25 years of age (9 per 100,000). The rate of violence among teens aged 15 to 17 has fluctuated over time, but the most recent data available indicate the rate of violence in this group increased by 33% from 2015 to 2022. Results from both the GSS and SSPPS have consistently shown that violent victimization (especially intimate partner violence and sexual assault) is drastically under-reported to police. As the main survey vehicle at Statistics Canada that measures intimate partner violence, it is important that the SSPPS continues to collect this information from its target population, including minors. Further, the 2024 SSPPS will collect data specifically on instances of sexual assault and harassment that happened in a school or work environment; gauging the prevalence of these types of victimization among students and youth in the workforce is important to inform policy and can be achieved through the SSPPS.

    A sample size of 145,000 in the provinces and 5,000 in the territories has been assessed as methodologically necessary to produce quality statistics that represent potentially rare events in various sectors of the population. Changes have been made to increase the sample size of the SSPPS, with specific oversamples of young people, gender minorities and Indigenous people (living off reserve). These changes were made to the sampling strategy to address the limitations of previous surveys, where small samples prevented the disaggregation of results by geography and other socio-demographic factors of interest (e.g., gender minorities; First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples). Decades of research and data collection have found that Indigenous people, particularly Indigenous women and girls, are disproportionately victims of violent crime. Thus, one of the central pillars of the National Action Plan signals the importance of preventing and addressing gender-based violence against Indigenous women and girls, and aligns the National Action Plan to End Gender-based Violence with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People National Action Plan. Multiple government departments come to Statistics Canada for this valuable data on Indigenous victimization. Collecting this data also aligns with Statistics Canada’s Disaggregated Data Action Plan (DDAP), as the inclusion of an oversample of Indigenous people increases the likelihood of being able to disaggregate data by Indigenous identity (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) and gender, furthering the understanding of risk factors related to victimization, Indigenous identity, and gender, among other factors. Given the importance of producing quality data on victimization, particularly for Indigenous people, it is crucial that Statistics Canada includes Indigenous identity in the collection of these data through the SSPPS.

    Results from the 2018 cycle of the SSPPS were mentioned in the 2024 Sustainable Development Goals Gender Index report, which found that no country has thus far achieved the promise of gender equality described in the United Nation’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The SDG Gender Index report mentioned that results of the 2018 SSPPS demonstrated the higher rates of physical and sexual assault experienced by Indigenous women in Canada, compared to non-Indigenous women. The report notes the challenges surrounding collection of information on gender-based violence, and points to the SSPPS as an important example of the efforts made by Canada to improve data collection on violent victimization among Indigenous people and women. It is evident that the results of the SSPPS are important not just to Canadians, but throughout the international community.

  2. Effectiveness: Research shows that only a small proportion of all inappropriate sexual behaviours and sexual assaults are ever reported to police and are thus excluded from official crime reportsFootnote12. Conducting surveys to collect this information directly from individuals is therefore currently the only way to produce estimates of both reported and unreported sexual harassment and violence. The information produced by the SSPPS will provide policy makers and analysts with statistical information to better understand Canadians’ experiences of personal safety and whether those experiences were reported to police, as asked in the SSPPS.

    The data produced by the SSPPS have been and will be used to inform a number of federal and international projects and strategies such as those mentioned above. Notably, data from previous cycles of this survey have effectively helped produce the most comprehensive portrait of experiences of gender-based violence in Canada to date.

    A large sample, with oversamples of young people, gender minorities and Indigenous people, is required to facilitate effective disaggregation of reported experiences by geographic locations, age, gender, sexual orientation, Indigenous identity, population group, and other socio-demographic factors that are associated with an elevated risk of violent victimization.

    In addition to questions that have been incorporated from the former SISPSP and SSMW, the SSPPS also includes content that has been used in other Statistics Canada surveys that effectively measure victimization in the general population (e.g., the General Social Survey on Canadians’ Safety (GSS Victimization)) and more targeted samples (e.g., the Survey on Sexual Misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces (SSMCAF). These surveys have effectively provided relevant and valuable insights and have been also used to study the prevalence of sexual harassment over time.

  3. Proportionality: A large sample, with oversamples of young people, gender minorities and Indigenous people, is required to facilitate disaggregation of factors that are associated with an elevated risk of violent victimization, which will allow policy makers to implement policies that directly benefit the populations from whom information is collected.  

    The survey findings will benefit the public by informing policies, laws, programs, and support services aimed at preventing and addressing victimization.

  4. Alternatives: Existing crime data from administrative sources are limited to officially reported events that meet the threshold for criminality. For this reason, official crime statistics are known to significantly underestimate the true rates of sexual victimization in the population. Thus, self-reported questionnaire data collected directly from respondents is needed to assess the true rate of violent victimization experienced by the general public in Canada. 

    Few sources have collected information on self-reported experiences of violent victimization in Canada and none have collected this information in several years; the most recent source that provided such data was the 2019 General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians’ Safety, which asked questions regarding personal safety and criminal behaviours experienced. However, the GSS did not collect information about the context or settings in which these experiences occurred, and thus lack the detail that will be provided by the SSPPS. Furthermore, these results are five years old and can no longer be assumed to be an accurate representation of Canada in 2024. Additionally, the new GSS on Canadians’ Safety is not expected to be released until spring 2027. 

    While several other past Statistics Canada surveys have touched on the subjects found in the 2024 SSPPS, their results are also now several years old and must be updated to enable trend analysis and to ensure that policy makers and victim service providers are using the most up-to-date data to inform decision-making. 

    Finally, collecting data from administrative sources lacking sociodemographic information would prevent the ability to study and clearly understand the risk factors and population groups most affected, creating potentially unreliable information that could result in ineffective interventions.

Mitigation factors:

While the upcoming cycle of SSPPS includes sensitive content, the overall risk of harm to the survey respondents has been deemed manageable with existing Statistics Canada safeguards that are described in Statistics Canada’s Generic Privacy Impact Assessment and additional measures taken for the SSPPS. Mitigating factors of particular importance in the context of this survey include:

Consultations and Testing
Statistics Canada engaged in stakeholder engagement and consultation activities, such as group discussions and written submissions from interest groups and previous survey-data users. Consulted partners and stakeholders included: federal, provincial and territorial governments; advocacy groups; Indigenous organizations; Non-Governmental organizations (NGOs); and academics.

Following consultations, two rounds of qualitative content testing were conducted. The first was to determine the feasibility of conducting the 2024 SSPPS, and to solicit feedback from respondents regarding their overall impressions and reactions to the questionnaire. The second round tested the impact of the changes and additions made to the survey after the first round of testing. Some questions were considered sensitive by respondents, though many also expressed that they were supportive of the survey asking these questions, as they deemed the information necessary and valuable.

Consent 
All respondents will be informed of the sensitive nature of the survey before participating, through invitation and reminder letters, and the introductory screens of the Electronic Questionnaire, which include a description of the survey’s purpose and information about the confidentiality of responses. Respondents will also be informed that their participation is voluntary in both the invitation and reminder letters, as well as the questionnaire itself.

As with other Statistics Canada surveys, parental consent for minors aged 15 and older will not be requested for the SSPPS as respondents aged 15 and older can be reasonably expected to understand the nature of the survey to which they are consenting, the questions being asked, the use of their personal information, and the confidentiality of survey responses. As such, it is believed that minors aged 15 and older will have the necessary understanding to make an informed decision regarding their participation in this voluntary survey.

Access to personal information 
Under the Privacy Act, a parent or legal guardian can request access to information provided by a minor on behalf of the minor. However, in keeping with section 25 of the Privacy Act, requests received from a parent or legal guardian for access to survey responses provided by a minor, that could be reasonably expected to put the security or safety of the minor at risk if disclosed to the parent or legal guardian, will not be released in order to protect the minor. As such, only the respondents themselves, whether they are adults or minors, can request and obtain the information collected about themselves in the SSPPS.

Web Security
Like most Statistics Canada surveys, the SSPPS will use an Electronic Questionnaire (EQ) – either completed by the respondent alone or with the assistance of an interviewer – which is hosted on a secure, encrypted website. Due to the sensitive nature of the SSPPS, additional testing of the SSPPS EQ was conducted to identify any potential risks to respondents who may be in an abusive or controlling situation. The results of this testing demonstrated that the EQ is secure, and it is unlikely that anyone other than a respondent would be able to gain access to their responses. The EQ portal includes several security measures to protect a respondent’s personal and private information, including requiring a Secure Access Code (SAC) to enter the survey, password protection for those who want to stop and finish their questionnaire at another time, and a time-out period of 120 minutes after which responses are locked and a code or password is required to re-enter the survey. Once a survey has been submitted it is impossible for anyone to regain access to the survey answers.

In addition to the standard security measures in place for all Statistics Canada EQs, a “panic button” has been included in the most sensitive portion of the survey, the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) block. Respondents will see instructions for the panic button before entering this block of questions, which explains that the button will be available in the top right corner of the screen. When activated by a respondent, the panic button will (a) immediately redirect out of this block to non-sensitive questions (demographics), and it will not be possible to return to the sensitive section; and (b) the IPV questions are removed from the browser history. This kind of panic button is commonly used on websites that provide information to victims of intimate partner violence and has been included in several other sensitive surveys conducted by Statistics Canada (e.g., the SSMW and the GSS on Canadians’ Safety mentioned above). The panic button was tested throughout development of the survey and was found to be a simple and easily understood tool in qualitative testing.

Support Services 
Since survey questions may evoke emotional reactions from the respondents, contact information for support services and resources for victims of violence will be made available to respondents at several points throughout the survey, both before and after blocks of sensitive questions. These support resources were taken from the Department of Justice’s Victim Services Directory. Further information about these services will be provided on the Statistics Canada SSPPS Informing Survey Participants (ISP) page. Survey phone interviewers and help desk staff will also have this information available to provide to respondents.

Interviewer Training
As questions in the SSPPS may evoke emotional reactions from some respondents, interviewers who will be conducting interviews with respondents will receive sensitivity and personal preparedness training, in addition to their standard training. All interviewers and supervisors who will be working on the SSPPS will be provided with training that will prepare them to ask difficult, personal questions in a sensitive manner, and to cope with the emotional impact of the stories they hear from respondents. The training will be conducted by a mental health professional with a background in supporting both first responders and victims of violent crime. The training service provider will also be available for ad hoc debriefing sessions, should additional support be required throughout the collection period. The need for these debriefing sessions will be determined in consultation with CPRD and Data Collection Managers working in the Regional Offices.

Conclusion:

This assessment concludes that, with the existing Statistics Canada safeguards, any remaining risks are such that Statistics Canada is prepared to accept and manage the risk.
