Getting started

Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey is a census of plants that crush oilseeds into oil and meal. Data collected are part of supply-disposition statistics of major grains and allow the calculation of the domestic disappearance component. They are also required to verify grain production and farm stocks.

The data are used by the provincial governments, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and related industries for market analysis, particularly of supply-disposition of grain.

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 statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

Statistics Canada's Departmental Plan does not include information on tax expenditures.

Tax expenditures are the responsibility of the Minister of Finance. The Department of Finance Canada publishes cost estimates and projections for government­‑wide tax expenditures each year in the Report on Federal Tax Expenditures. This report provides detailed information on tax expenditures, including objectives, historical background and references to related federal spending programs, as well as evaluations, research papers and Gender-based Analysis Plus.

The following supplementary information tables are available on Statistics Canada's website:

• Gender-based Analysis Plus
• United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Gender-based Analysis Plus

General information

Institutional GBA Plus Capacity

Statistics Canada continues to champion the Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus) initiative by disseminating disaggregated data, as well as gender-based and intersectional analyses; providing statistical leadership and analytical expertise for developing conceptual frameworks and indicators, progress metrics, and relevant statistical standards; building GBA Plus knowledge and capacity; and monitoring and addressing emerging data needs.

The agency has long recognized the value of including GBA Plus considerations in its operations, including—but not limited to—its engagement efforts and communication; data development; dissemination of enhanced data, analytical products and insights; and human resource processes.

Statistics Canada's Centre for Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics (the Centre), which was established in 2018, continues to drive GBA Plus implementation across the agency and to ensure that Canadians have the detailed statistical information and disaggregated data that they need.

The Centre also drives further implementation of the Disaggregated Data Action Plan (DDAP), which identifies and fills data and knowledge gaps across the agency's programs and leads to more representative data collection and enhanced statistics on diverse populations. Specifically, the DDAP prioritizes the collection and dissemination of data by sex or gender, as well as for Indigenous peoples, racialized groups and people with disabilities across age groups and levels of geography. In this way, the DDAP is a key enabler for GBA Plus and intersectional analysis. The Centre also implements the DDAP's efforts to establish standards or harmonized content for a number of concepts to measure population characteristics, such as sexual orientation, ethnocultural diversity, immigrant status, seniors, official languages, low income and veterans.

The Centre continues to generate analytical products and insights relevant to GBA Plus and enhance and maintain the Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics Hub—Statistics Canada's primary platform for all gender-, diversity- and inclusion-related data and information.

Further, the Centre continues to build GBA Plus capacity and awareness internally in many ways, by managing the internal GBA Plus Community of Practice; advising others on how to include GBA Plus considerations in their programs, projects and Cabinet documents; integrating GBA Plus in its training materials; participating in GBA Plus-relevant events and awareness initiatives; and partnering with the Canada School of Public Service and Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) to develop materials to further capacity across the Government of Canada.

In addition, alongside the agency's GBA Plus Champion, the Centre leads Statistics Canada's GBA Plus Responsibility Network, which works together to further GBA Plus implementation and communication across the agency. The GBA Plus Responsibility Network includes representation from all fields at Statistics Canada: Corporate Strategy and Management; Strategic Engagement; Economic Statistics; Census, Regional Services and Operations; Social, Health and Labour Statistics; Strategic Data Management, Methods and Analysis; and Digital Solutions. Together, this network will establish a set of best practices to better include GBA Plus considerations early in the planning stage of programs, projects and other initiatives.

In terms of human resources, Statistics Canada continues to foster a workplace that is diverse, inclusive and representative of the Canadian population. Since 2020–21, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Accountability Framework has led to increased accountability to employment equity committees and has better served employees by more clearly identifying roles and responsibilities.

Statistics Canada also continues to implement two action plans related to human resources: the 2021–25 Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan: Moving Forward Together, and the Integrity and Respect Action Plan. Both of these aim to improve and promote diversity and inclusion within the workplace, eliminate systemic barriers in appointment processes, and increase representation at all levels across the agency.
