Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey collects the financial and operating data needed to develop national and regional economic policies and programs.

Data from this survey are used by the business community, manufacturing associations, federal and provincial departments, and international organizations to:

profile the manufacturing and logging industries
undertake market studies
forecast demand
develop trade tariff policies.

In addition, businesses use the data to track their performance against industry averages, evaluate expansion plans, and prepare business plans for investors.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an undeniable impact on the way that we spend money. Documenting these shifts in spending patterns is crucial to decision making and providing Canadians with timely and accurate information on consumer price changes. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the most widely used indicator of consumer price change and inflation in Canada. Our guest, Taylor Mitchell, an economist at Statistics Canada, explains why the CPI is an important tool for setting economic policy and monitoring economic conditions. She will also shed light on why you should care about inflation, its impact on different population groups and the cost of living.

Eh Sayers Episode 5 - Why Should You Care About Inflation? - Transcript

Tegan:Hi everyone. Quick programing note before we start today's show. The main interview was recorded in November, and while everything was correct at the time of recording, the world of data moves fast, so some of our examples may not contain the latest information. That said, the main points of the show are still as relevant today as the day we recorded them, and we hope it doesn't detract from your podcast listening experience. Enjoy!

(Theme)

Tegan: Welcome to Eh Sayers, a podcast from Statistics Canada, where we meet the people behind the data and explore the stories behind the numbers. I’m your host, Tegan.

If you’re an economics-minded person, you’ll know that in December 2021, the CPI was up 4.8% from the year before. Even if you’re not, you've probably noticed that prices have been going up. I feel like I’m spending more on my groceries than I was a year ago, but I don't think the cost of my clothing has really changed. I have questions. And I bet you do too. To get some answers, we sat down with an economist from StatCan.

Taylor: My name is Taylor Mitchell. I am an economist, working on the CPI or the Consumer Price Index, which is one of Canada's economic indicators of consumer inflation.

Tegan: Big question, what is inflation?

Taylor: What is inflation? Inflation is essentially the change in prices over time. So what the CPI does is it tracks that change in consumer goods, everything that consumers purchase on a daily or monthly or yearly, semiannually basis. Everything from the groceries we buy to the rent we pay, to our haircuts, to our entertainment. It's all in this one basket and we track how that the price of that basket changes overtime.

Tegan: So, you said CPI. What is the CPI?

Taylor: So the CPI is the consumer price index. It's an economic indicator, and it is a measure of how prices change through time. It's often used for a number of a number of important purposes. It's it's a gauge of the health of the economy. It's also used for purposes that are quite relevant to Canadians, day-to-day. Everything from indexing tax brackets to indexing pension payments, and other government benefits to ensure that purchasing power remains constant over time so that you still can purchase the same number of goods with the dollars that you have.

Tegan: And how do you actually gather that information?

Taylor: We start with the basket so we have--a virtual basket I should say. So I'm I spoke a little bit about this before. The basket includes eight major components, which are food, shelter, household operations, furnishings and equipment, so that includes everything from buying furniture, so buying a couch, to buying a fridge, to paying some basic household bills, like cellular bills or financial services, things of that nature. The basket includes clothing and footwear. It includes transportation, which is everything from buying airline tickets, to buying gas, to paying for the bus. It includes health and personal care, recreation, education and reading, and alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and recreational cannabis. So that's kind of the main framework and each month. We collect through various means a number of prices for various products to represent those. Those 8 major components. So when it comes to grocery prices, for instance, we do that by using transaction data. So when you go to the grocery store, we're actually using that price of the groceries that were scanned at the cashier, and that's incorporated into the CPI. Uh, for other types of goods and services we send interviewers into stores and they record the actual price that’s on the shelf. Uhm, now as we modernize the CPI, we're we're getting more and more into things like API's.

So for various travel indexes, for example, for air transportation, were able to access that data through an API. And we also do a great deal of online price collection now and and because of the pandemic, actually we're we're pretty much exclusively using the non-in person forms of price collection so prior to the pandemic I should say we used to send interviewers into stores, but now that's on hold as a result of physical distancing measures. So the bulk of our collection is now done through alternative data.

Tegan: I like the picture in my head of an economist going in and buying just different kinds of butter. Salted, unsalted, in different sizes and then comparing all the prices.

Taylor: And that's essentially what we do. We look at different types of goods for each, so you know you use the example of butter. We do look at different types of butter. We look at goods of all sizes. We adjust for the quantity to ensure that the price is not falling or staying the same, but that the quantity is the same so we adjust for for so-called shrinkflation in that way. Uh, and then once prices are collected, it's a complex but very robust statistical process that takes, you know over 100 people to do every month to produce that one number that represents inflation for the entire country.

Tegan: What is what is shrinkflation?

Taylor: So shrinkflation refers to typically when product sizes shrink, so product packages shrink in size. Uhm, and when that happens when you know, say, the size of the peanut butter jar that I buy when that gets smaller in size. I'm getting less for more. so that's considered a type of inflation, because again, you are paying more, but getting less or perhaps paying the same beginning, less so when it comes to shrinkflation the way we address that in the CPI is we receive quantity, standard quantity sizes with our price information each month, and that allows us to standardize. So, for example, if the price of peanut butter stays the same. But the jar of peanut butter falls in size becomes smaller. That would be, all else equal, considered a price increase because I'm paying more for what I'm getting.

Tegan: Do prices always rise?

Taylor: That's a great question. Typically, the CPI as an aggregate that accounts for all inflation for the entire country. For the most part, that has risen year over year historically. With that said, prices for individual components within that basket of goods and services they do sometimes fall over time. So one example would be this past year, so you know, we often we were very aware of how much more we're paying for gasoline or for meat at the grocery store, but we do have a number of products that are actually less expensive now than they were at this time last year. Uhm, mortgage interest costs. We've had historically low interest rates and that's passed along to people who are entering or renewing their mortgages. Uh, telephone services. That's your cell phone service. Uh, now we get more and more data typically involved in those packages and so that means it's a de facto price decline. Car insurance is costing Canadians less than it was a year ago. Fresh vegetables. So to answer your question, there are fluctuations, and there are some goods and services where prices do fall over time. Uh, and then there are other goods where prices. They don't really move that much from year to year. One example might be clothing.

Tegan: And are all price increases due to inflation all the time always?

Taylor: Well, inflation is kind of a general catchall term for prices that rise as opposed to deflation, which is when prices fall. So in a general economic sense, yes, when prices rise, that is, that is inflation. But I'm wondering if what you're getting at might be kind of why those prices increase over time. Like what are the factors at play?

Tegan: Yeah, I mean if you are I don't know off the top of my head if you are. If you are buying a cell phone, a smartphone, say and you bought 2 years ago and it was, I don't know $700.00 and now you buy one today and it's $900. Is that inflation or is that something different?

Taylor: It's inflation, but there are dynamics behind that inflation with price change it really all does in the end come down to supply and demand. If more people want to buy something then there are of that good or service to be purchased. Prices tend to rise. In the case of the smart phone, it may be that more people are interested in that particular smartphone than they have been in the past. It may be that there's some sort of a supply chain disruption which, like we're seeing right now for semiconductor chips that are affecting a number of consumer goods in general there are. There are a number of different factors. But when prices do rise over time, yes, we do attribute that generally, uh, to be inflation.

Tegan: Are there ever disagreements about the inflation rate?

Taylor: We you know, I certainly hear that from my neighbours. Uh, you know I. I have that conversation probably every month when the CPI comes out and I'll hear you know, “2%, 3%, 4%. I'm paying 10 or 15% more than last year.” So I think that that's definitely something that every Canadian has their own experience with. It's important to remember that the CPI is an aggregate that represents the entire country as a group, so it represents households that are very, very different. It represents people that own their homes versus people that rent their homes. It represents Canadians with children and Canadians without children. It represents Canadians that are like me and don't have a car and who take the bus or the train everywhere. And we're not paying for gas every month. It represents older Canadians, seniors and millennials who are paying university tuition. And so because of that within that big group, everyone is going to have their own unique experience with inflation. And actually that's why we created here. It's STATCAN something called a personal inflation calculator, which allows Canadians to input their own expenses every month, and they can see how their own personal rate of inflation does differ from that one number that represents the country as a whole.

Tegan: Could you elaborate on how different people's experiences with inflation would vary?

Taylor: So currently gas prices are up quite a bit compared with last year and part of that is because gas prices were actually quite low last year, and that's that was a result of the pandemic and all kinds of disruptions to both demand and supply. But this year gas prices are up about 41%, so that's quite a large increase, and that's certainly affecting some Canadians more than others. You know I mentioned that I'm a person that I. I ride the train. I take the bus, I live in an urban area where I'm fortunate to be able to do that. I don't own a car, but for Canadians that live in different, you know for Canadians who drive to work for Canadians that live in rural areas, they're absolutely going to be feeling the impact of that on their pocketbooks more than somebody like me. At the same time, you know we, renters and homeowners have different experiences with inflation. Those with kids certainly have unique experiences. There are also different regional realities. So, one area that I like to highlight is home heating so the CPI encompasses Canadians from all 10 provinces as well as the three territorial capitals and one aspect about our day-to-day lives is actually quite different in different parts of the country. Is how we heat our homes. So the Atlantic region they tend to rely quite heavily on furnace oil to heat their homes, and furnace oil tends to firm so prices tend to move quite closely with oil prices or gasoline prices. So furnace oil prices are also up quite significantly right now. Whereas West of Quebec, we tend to rely more so on natural gas. Natural gas prices are up as well, but only about half as much as furnace oil prices, and so this means that Canadians in the in Atlantic, Canada are certainly feeling a greater impact on those day-to-day expenses than then those of us using natural gas.

Tegan: In October of 2021, I was curious about the personal inflation calculator, so I played around with it a bit, exploring how inflation would affect people across the country.

I used some guesses about household expenses for a renter in Vancouver, BC, let's call her Beatrice, and came up with a personal inflation rate of 3.9%. BC's actual rate was 3.8%.

I used all of the same numbers for someone in rural PEI, I'll call her Aisha, with the only difference being that Aisha was a homeowner, so she didn't have to pay rent, but she would have some other housing-related expenses. Aisha’s personal inflation rate was 5.6%, higher than Beatrice's 3.9% in BC, but still lower than PEI’s official rate of 6.6%.

Playing around with the numbers in the tool really helped me understand how inflation affects people differently. I encourage you to check it out if you are also curious!

Tegan: You mentioned gas, could you share some examples of other goods affected by inflation? Any other notable changes or anything that you've noticed in the past little while?

Taylor: One area that's been getting a lot of attention has been housing costs, so I will I'll talk a little bit about how shelter is measured in the CPI, just to give you a bit of background. The CPI includes consumer goods. It's right there in the name, consumer price index, and a house itself is not considered a consumer good because we don't consume it. It's considered an asset. It doesn't necessarily change your net worth to purchase a house. So therefore in accordance with international standards, the way the CPI accounts for housing is to measure changes in the costs of the ongoing expenses associated with homeownership. So that would be things like property taxes, that would be things like the commission when you buy a house, that would be your the interest on your mortgage. One area where we're seeing a lot of growth lately is what we call replacement costs. Homeowners replacement costs, and that essentially would be the amount of money that it would take you if you were to rebuild your home on the piece of land that you own. So it's a bit of a tricky concept to wrap our heads around for sure, but it's very closely linked to the price of new homes. And of course we have seen quite a bit of growth in the housing market in the past year and a bit. And so we are currently seeing higher replacement costs than we've seen since the late 1980s. Which is currently it, which is definitely affecting those who are in in the market for new homes. At the same time, you know I mentioned earlier, that interest costs are at a historic low and they have been since the onset of the pandemic, so the flip side of that is that those paying interest on a mortgage are currently enjoying the largest decrease in history. So that's been one trend that we've been watching, those, uh, those inverse relationships regarding shelter.

We're also paying a lot of attention right now to supply chain disruptions, so there are a number of factors there we've seen shipping costs that are that have been quite high. We've seen the impact on a number of consumer goods, especially those that are being imported from overseas, and we're also contending with shortages, so there's been a a fairly well publicized shortage of semiconductor chips, which is in particular impacting the production of new cars and that shortage of new cars is leading to the largest price increases there since the early 90s. So that's a factor that we're also paying a lot of attention to right now.

Tegan: Could you talk a little bit more about what impact the pandemic specifically has had on inflation?

Taylor: Yeah, absolutely so the early price impacts associated with the COVID pandemic, largely to do with a few key areas, one of which was energy. We saw the largest one, two punch in terms of its decline in energy prices in March and April of 2020. Uh, it was an extremely notable decline in prices and that was just because there were some fairly sudden significant changes in terms of how we were all living our lives. We were all staying at home. We were, you know, many of us were not commuting to work anymore. We certainly weren't flying across the ocean. International commerce and trade and just general economic activity, it slowed dramatically. And as a result of that, there were some pretty sharp declines to demand for oil, which of course we saw here in Canada reflected as incredibly low prices at the gas pumps. So, so that was an initial impact, and since then we've seen prices recovering in terms of oil and the reason I bring it up now you know nearly 18 months later, it's because we are still contending with the year over year impacts of those low oil prices in those low gasoline prices from last year. I mentioned that gasoline is up over 40%, but a lot of that is actually just because prices were low this time last year and we're comparing from a low, and so that makes this year's price increases look even larger when we when we look at it in terms of a year over year increase. That's what we call a base effect. That that hasn't impact on that indicator.

We also saw prices for clothing decline towards the beginning of the pandemic and in the early days that was largely because retailers were kind of forced to pivot and discount their inventories online in order to move product. But now it seems to be a bit about longer term trend. Uhm, a lot more people are working at home or just in general staying closer to home. And we're not necessarily buying the same types of clothes that we used to buy, so it's really interesting to see how that's playing out. And, as well, I just want to highlight again just the number of supply shortages that we continue to contend with. We're seeing it, you know, I mentioned shipping costs and semiconductors, but another area where we're really seeing a lot of issue from supply chain disruptions is food prices, particularly meat prices. We've been seeing some labor shortages there that have slowed down production. Some higher prices for livestock feed and just in general of a number of challenges to the supply chain that are leading to higher meat prices for Canadians here and meat prices are up close to 10% right now compared with a year ago.

Tegan: Why should the average Canadian care about inflation?

Taylor: The average Canadian should care about inflation because it's a reflection of how their purchasing power is changing over time. When prices rise, if I have the same amount of money that I had a year ago, I can buy less. I can buy fewer goods and services, and if I'm a person that wants to, you know, keep my spending relatively constant from time to time. I care about inflation, but I also care about inflation because it does affect Canadians in some very practical ways. It impacts their tax brackets. Tax brackets are updated every year based on the CPI. If I'm a senior and I'm collecting CPP, I certainly care about inflation because my CPP payments are going to be indexed to the CPI to ensure that I still have the same amount of purchasing power year to year. Many Canadians who collect private pensions also see their payments index to the CPI. In general, the CPI is used as a gauge of economic health.

Taylor: You know, at the end of the day. I'm in economist that works on prices all day, but I'm also a Canadian and I'm a consumer and I'm a grocery shopper and when I hear that question, what I think about is when I'm in the grocery store and I want to buy some bacon and I see that it's 20% more expensive than it was a year ago. I think that every Canadian can relate to that. That sense of frustration, and I think that that is why the CPI is important. That's why we provide as much information as we do to Canadians about how prices are moving and what is affecting them, because that's, I think, an experience that that everybody can relate to. And at the end of the day, I think that's why Canadians should care about inflation.

Tegan: Is there anything about inflation that we haven't already talked about or about the CPI that? Would be really important for Canadians to know. Or just that you think is cool or interesting?

Taylor: I think I've already touched on everything that's awesome. You know, in, general I just want to stress again that some. Everybody has their own experience with inflation. I'm speaking with you right now and I know that you and I are experiencing different levels of inflation right now. So I always like to point Canadians to our personal inflation calculator. It's a very cool tool. It's a very cool way of kind of seeing your unique circumstances as far as inflation goes and seeing how your circumstances do differ from that one number that represents the entire country.

Tegan: If someone wants to learn more about the CPI or inflation, where should they go?

Taylor: So Statistics Canada has a CPI portal. It is essentially a one stop shop for all things CPI. It includes data visualization tools where Canadians can kind of look at the numbers and play with play with different indexes of interests and see how it's all looked historically it includes the personal inflation calculator, and it includes a number of our other analytical articles as well as the analysis that accompanies are release each month. So I would encourage Canadians to check it out. CPI portal.

Purpose of 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.

Economic statistics describe the behaviour and activities of economic transactors and of the transactions that take place among them. The economic transactors 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.

NAICS is a comprehensive system encompassing all economic activities. It has a hierarchical structure. At the highest level, it divides the economy into twenty sectors. At lower levels, it further distinguishes the different economic activities in which businesses are engaged.

NAICS is designed for the compilation of production statistics and, therefore, for the classification of data relating to establishments. It takes into account the specialization of activities generally found at the level of the producing units of businesses. The criteria used to group establishments into industries in NAICS are similarity of input structures, labour skills and production processes.

NAICS can also be used for classifying companies and enterprises. However, when NAICS is used in this way, the following caveat applies: NAICS has not been specially designed to take account of the wide range of vertically- or horizontally-integrated activities of large and complex, multi-establishment companies and enterprises. Hence, there will be a few large and complex companies and enterprises whose activities may be spread over the different sectors of NAICS, in such a way that classifying them to one sector will misrepresent the range of their activities. However, in general, a larger proportion of the activities of each complex company and enterprise is more likely to fall within the sector, subsector and industry group levels of the classification than within the industry levels. Hence, the higher levels of the classification are more suitable for the classification of companies and enterprises than are the lower levels. It should also be kept in mind that when businesses are composed of establishments belonging to different NAICS industries, their company- and enterprise-level data will show a different industrial distribution, when classified to NAICS, than will their establishment-level data, and the data will not be directly comparable.

While NAICS is designed for the classification of units engaged in market and non-market production, as defined by the System of National Accounts, it can also be used to classify own-account production, such as the unpaid work of households.

NAICS has been designed for statistical purposes. Government departments and agencies and other users that use it for administrative, legislative and other non-statistical purposes take responsibility for applying the classification in this manner.

Preface

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) represents a continuing co-operative effort among Statistics Canada, Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) of the United States, acting on behalf of the Office of Management and Budget, to create and maintain a common industry classification system. With its inception in 1997, NAICS replaced the existing classification of each country, the Standard Industrial Classification (1980) of Canada, the Mexican Classification of Activities and Products (1994), and the Standard Industrial Classification (1987) of the United States. Since 1997, the countries have collaborated in producing five-year revisions to NAICS in order to keep the classification system current with changes in economic activities.

The North American Industry Classification System is unique among industry classifications in that it is constructed within a single conceptual framework. Economic units that have similar production processes are classified in the same industry, and the lines drawn between industries demarcate, to the extent practicable, differences in production processes. This supply-based, or production-oriented, economic concept was adopted for NAICS because an industry classification system is a framework for collecting and publishing information on both inputs and outputs, for statistical uses that require that inputs and outputs be used together and be classified consistently. Examples of such uses include measuring productivity, unit labour costs, and capital intensity of production, estimating employment-output relationships, constructing input-output tables, and other uses that imply the analysis of production relationships in the economy. The classification concept for NAICS leads to production of data that facilitate such analyses.

In the design of NAICS, attention was given to developing a production-oriented classification for (a) new and emerging industries, (b) service industries in general, and (c) industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. These special emphases are embodied in the particular features of NAICS, discussed below. These same areas of special emphasis account for many of the differences between the structure of NAICS and the structures of industry classification systems in use elsewhere. NAICS provides enhanced industry comparability among the three North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) trading partners, while also increasing compatibility with the two-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC Rev.4) of the United Nations.

NAICS divides the economy into twenty sectors. Industries within these sectors are grouped according to the production criterion. Though the goods/services distinction is not explicitly reflected in the structure of NAICS, four sectors are largely goods-producing and sixteen are entirely services-producing industries.

A key feature of NAICS is the information and cultural sector that groups industries that primarily create and disseminate a product subject to copyright. This sector brings together those activities that transform information into a commodity that is produced and distributed, and activities that provide the means for distributing those products, other than through traditional wholesale-retail distribution channels. Industries included in this sector are publishing; motion picture and sound recording; broadcasting and content providers; telecommunications; computing infrastructure and hosting; web search portals, libraries, archives and other information services.

Another feature of NAICS is a sector for professional, scientific and technical services. It comprises establishments engaged in activities where human capital is the major input. The industries within this sector are each defined by the expertise and training of the service provider. The sector includes such industries as offices of lawyers, engineering services, architectural services, advertising agencies, and interior design services.

A sector for arts, entertainment and recreation groups facilities or services that meet the cultural, entertainment and recreational interests of patrons.

The health care and social assistance sector recognizes the merging of the boundaries of these two types of services. The industries in this sector are arranged in an order that reflects the range and extent of health care and social assistance provided. Some important industries are family planning centres, outpatient mental health and substance abuse centres, and community care facilities for the elderly.

In the manufacturing sector, the computer and electronic product manufacturing subsector brings together industries producing electronic products and their components. The manufacturers of computers, communications equipment, and semiconductors, for example, are grouped into the same subsector because of the inherent technological similarities of their production processes, and the likelihood that these technologies will continue to converge in the future. The reproduction of packaged software is placed in this sector, rather than in the services sector, because the reproduction of packaged software is a manufacturing process, and the product moves through the wholesale and retail distribution systems like any other manufactured product.

The NAICS structure reflects the levels at which data comparability was agreed upon by the three statistical agencies. The boundaries of all the sectors of NAICS have been delineated. In most sectors, NAICS provides for comparability at the industry (five-digit) level. However, for real estate, and finance and insurance, three-country comparability will occur either at the industry group (four-digit) or subsector (three-digit) levels. For these sectors, differences in the economies of the three countries prevent full comparability at the NAICS industry level. For utilities, retail trade, wholesale trade, and public administration, the three countries' statistical agencies have agreed, at this time, only on the boundaries of the sector (two-digit level). Below the agreed upon level of comparability, each country may add additional detailed industries, as necessary, to meet national needs, provided that this additional detail aggregates to the NAICS level.

Foreword

Statistics Canada, the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografía (INEGI) of Mexico and the United States Office of Management and Budget, through its Economic Classification Policy Committee, have jointly updated the system of classification of economic activities that makes the industrial statistics produced in the three countries comparable. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) revisions for 2022 are scheduled to go into effect for reference year 2022 in the United States and in Canada and 2023 in Mexico. NAICS was originally developed to provide a consistent framework for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of industrial statistics used by government policy analysts, by academics and researchers, by the business community, and by the public.

NAICS is the first industry classification system that was developed in accordance with a single principle of aggregation, the principle that producing units that use similar production processes should be grouped together. NAICS also reflects, in a much more explicit way, the significant changes in technology and in the growth and diversification of services in recent decades. Though NAICS differs from other international industry classification systems, the three countries continue to strive to create industries that do not cross two-digit boundaries of the United Nations' International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC).

The actual classification reveals only the tip of the work carried out by staff from INEGI, Statistics Canada, and the U.S. statistical agencies. It is through their regular efforts, analysis, and co-operation that NAICS has emerged as a harmonized international classification of economic activities in North America.

Development and historical background of NAICS

NAICS was developed by Statistics Canada, Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) of the United States Office of Management and Budget.

The three countries agreed upon the conceptual framework of the new system and the principles upon which NAICS was to be developed.

NAICS would be based on a production-oriented or supply-based conceptual framework. This means that producing units using similar production processes would be grouped together in NAICS.
Special attention would be given to developing production-oriented classifications for (a) new and emerging industries (b) service industries in general and (c) industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies.
Time-series continuity would be maintained to the extent possible. However, changes in the economy and proposals from data users would be considered. In addition, in order to create a common system for all three countries, adjustments would be made where the United States, Canada and Mexico had incompatible definitions.
In the interest of a wider range of international comparisons, the three countries would strive for greater compatibility with the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Revision 3) by minimizing the extent to which the lowest levels of NAICS crossed the boundaries of the 2-digit level of ISIC Revision 3.

To help with the development of NAICS, a user committee meeting was called in November 1994 and extensive consultation was undertaken in Canada with federal and provincial government departments and agencies, business and trade associations, economic analysts and the advisory committees of Statistics Canada.

A co-ordinating committee and subcommittees, which covered agriculture, mining and manufacturing, construction, distribution networks (retail and wholesale trade, transportation, communications and utilities), finance, insurance and real estate, business and personal services and health, social assistance and public administration, were responsible for developing the proposed structure of NAICS, in co-operation with representatives from INEGI and the U.S. statistical agencies. Proposals from all three countries concerning individual industries were considered for acceptance, if the proposed industry was based on the production-oriented concept of the system. The structure of NAICS was developed in a series of three-country meetings and formally accepted by the senior representatives of the ECPC, INEGI and Statistics Canada.

The final structure of NAICS was accepted by the heads of Statistics Canada, INEGI and the Office of Management and Budget of the United States on December 10, 1996.

Over the years, Statistics Canada has developed and used a number of industrial classification systems. In 1948, the first Canadian Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) was developed. This was done to meet the government's need to establish a more comprehensive and fully-integrated system of economic reporting, in support of the key objectives of its post-war reconstruction programme outlined in the 1945 White Paper (on employment and income). The 1948 SIC brought together different industry descriptions in use at the time, each of which was applied to data about different aspects of the economy based on different definitions. It facilitated data comparability, by providing a framework of common concepts, terminology and groupings of industries. The introduction to the 1948 SIC manual stated that it was designed for the classification of the establishment but a precise definition was not provided.

In the major revision of the SIC in 1960, the importance of the need for a standard unit of observation was emphasized by the provision of a standard definition of the establishment. The variables needed to assemble the "basic industrial statistics" required for the analysis of the different sectors of the economy were specified and the establishment became the smallest unit capable of reporting that set of variables. The 1970 revision updated the industry groupings to reflect changes in the industrial structure of the economy.

The 1980 revision of the SIC was again a major one. This revision more directly linked the SIC to the System of National Accounts (SNA). It specified the universe of production to be as defined for the production accounts of the SNA. It drew a picture of all the variables that needed to be collected from or allocated to the establishment, in order to calculate value added by establishment for the Input Output accounts and Real Domestic Product by industry. It gave more emphasis to the role of "ancillary" activities in the collection of an integrated system of economic statistics and emphasized the difference between technical and ancillary activities and the role of ancillary units in accounting for total production. By using available statistics, it more explicitly used measures of specialization and coverage to delineate manufacturing industries. It recommended the use of the 1980 SIC for the classification of establishments and the compilation of production statistics.

In 1980, a separate classification, the Canadian Standard Industrial Classification for Companies and Enterprises, was produced for the compilation of financial statistics related to companies and enterprises. This classification took account of vertically-integrated companies and enterprises and created special classes for them at the lowest level of the classification. The higher levels of the classification cut across the traditional groupings of industrial classifications based on separating primary, secondary and tertiary activities in the economy and created sector groupings that drew together single and vertically-integrated companies and enterprises engaged in the production of similar product groups.

It was customary to revise the SIC at ten-year intervals; however, by 1990 not all the economic statistics programs of Statistics Canada had implemented the 1980 SIC. It was decided to postpone the revision and to take into account the statistical needs of the North American Free Trade Agreement signed in January 1994. The needs were met by developing NAICS, an industrial classification common to Canada, Mexico and the United States. The first version, NAICS 1997, was released in March 1998.

NAICS was revised for 2002 to achieve increased comparability among the three countries in selected areas and to identify additional industries for new and emerging activities. To that end, the construction sector was revised and comparability achieved, for the most part, at the industry (five-digit) level. Industries were created for Internet services providers and web search portals, and Internet publishing and broadcasting.

Changes to Canadian and world economies continue to impact on classification systems. NAICS was revised for 2007 to reflect these changes. In particular, the information sector was once again updated. The updates took into account the rapid changes within this area, including the merging of activities. As a result, Internet publishing and broadcasting and web search portals were combined, as were Internet service providers and data processing, hosting, and related services. Telecommunications resellers and other telecommunications were also merged.

The 2012 NAICS revision was undertaken to achieve one main goal: to modify or create industries to reflect new, emerging, or changing activities and technologies. New industries were created for video game publishers and designers, and small clothing manufacturing industries were rolled up to a higher classification level. In addition, new guidelines for the coding of units that outsource production of goods were written into the sector definitions for 31-33 Manufacturing and 41 Wholesale trade.

Various kinds of changes were brought into NAICS 2017 Version 1.0. Many changes involved clarification of the definition and boundary of classes through changes to the descriptive text of the definition; the illustrative examples; the exclusions; and titles of industries. Some changes involved the reduction of industry detail, while other industries were detailed further. Units that outsource the transformation process for manufactured goods were classified to manufacturing if the units owned the material inputs to production. Otherwise the units we classified to wholesale trade. The telecommunications industries were revised in recognition of the structure of telecommunications companies. The oil and gas extraction industries were expanded, and the classification of arts, sports and recreation industries were revised with new 6-digit industries being created. In recognition of the small or diminishing size of some rental industries, existing industries were merged. Record production and distribution industries were also merged.

NAICS Canada 2017 Version 2.0 was created to meet urgent classification needs prior to the scheduled NAICS revision in 2022. The principle change consisted of moving Internet-only publishing activities out of 519130 Internet publishing and broadcasting and web search and into the corresponding publishing industries. A change was made to the list of examples to clarify the treatment of cannabis cultivation for medical use. The growing of cannabis under cover for medical use was classified to 111419 Other food crops grown under cover.

NAICS Canada 2017 Version 3.0 was created to meet classification needs prior to the legalization of cannabis in Canada in 2018. The principle change consisted of creating new cannabis-related industries in agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale trade and retail trade.

Conceptual framework of NAICS

NAICS is based on a production-oriented, or supply-based conceptual framework in that establishments are grouped into industries according to similarity in the production processes used to produce goods and services. The production process refers to the combination of inputs (capital, labour, energy, materials and services – KLEMS) used in producing a certain quantity of outputs. A production-oriented industry classification system ensures that statistical agencies in the three countries can produce information on inputs and outputs, industrial performance, productivity, unit labour costs, employment, and other statistics that reflect structural changes occurring in the three economies.

Producing units are grouped into industries according to similarities in their production processes as defined earlier. The boundaries between industries demarcate, in principle, differences in input structures and production technologies. This means that, in the language of economics, producing units within an industry have similar production functions that differ from those of producing units in other industries.

The unit of observation of the industrial classification is the producing unit or establishment, and the industrial classification groups producing units, not products. Groupings of producing units permit the collection of data on inputs and outputs on a comparable basis. Because establishments each produce a number of products in different combinations and using different technologies, it is hardly possible to group all the establishments producing a particular product. It is more useful to use a production-oriented approach to bring together, into industries, establishments with common input structures, and to compile data on their outputs. This permits the compilation of comprehensive data on the total output of each product by industry and across all industries.

In contrast, the various versions of the Canadian SIC and of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) of the United Nations have used mixed criteria to create the industries of the classification.

Structure of NAICS and NAICS Canada 2022 Version 1.0

The structure of NAICS is hierarchical. The numbering system that has been adopted is a six-digit code, of which the first five digits are used to describe the NAICS levels that will be used by the three countries to produce comparable data. The first two digits designate the sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group and the fifth digit designates the industry. The sixth digit is used to designate national industries. A zero as the sixth digit indicates that there is no further national detail.

NAICS agreements define the boundaries of the twenty sectors into which the classification divides the economies of the three countries. Although, typically, agreement has been reached that comparable data will be made available for Canada, Mexico and the United States up to the five-digit industry level of NAICS, differences in the organization of production in the economies of the three countries necessitated certain exceptions. For some sectors, subsectors and industry groups, three-country agreement was reached only on their boundaries rather than on detailed industry structures.

In general, the use of the same code across the three countries indicates that the class is comparable, even if the title is not identical because of differences in the use of language.

NAICS with Canadian detail is designated NAICS Canada while NAICS with the United States' and Mexico's own six-digit detail are designated NAICS United States and Sistema de Clasificación Industrial de América del Norte (SCIAN) México, respectively.

Comparability among the three countries is indicated by superscripts at the end of class titles. The abbreviation "CAN" indicates a Canadian-only class, "MEX" indicates that the Canadian and Mexican classes are comparable, and "US" indicates that the Canadian and United States classes are comparable. When no superscript appears, the Canadian, Mexican and United States classes are comparable.

The Classification Structure displays the codes and titles of the sectors, subsectors, industry groups, industry, and national industries of NAICS Canada. In general, comparable sectors, subsectors, industry groups, industries carry the same code in NAICS Canada, NAICS Mexico and NAICS United States.

The superscript symbols at the end of NAICS class titles used to signify comparability are:

CAN: Canadian industry only
MEX: Canadian and Mexican industries are comparable
US: Canadian and United States industries are comparable
[Blank]: [No superscript symbol] Canadian, Mexican and United States industries are comparable.

NAICS Canada 2022 Version 1.0 consists of 20 sectors, 99 subsectors, 323 industry groups, 694 industries and 923 Canadian industries, and replaces NAICS Canada 2017 Version 3.0. The following summary table shows the counts of subsectors, industry groups, industries, and Canadian industries for each of the NAICS sectors.

Summary of changes from NAICS 2017 Version 3.0 to NAICS 2022 Version 1.0

NAICS 2022 Version 1.0 was the biggest revision to NAICS since 2002. It includes a large number of revisions related to the digital economy, in addition to other changes in a variety of areas. Some classification items were taken-over, while others were split-off, broken down, merged or transferred.

Structural changes: generalities

The overarching theme to the updates of the NAICS 2022 Version 1.0 is the digital economy. The guiding principle for these changes is to classify platform-based activities and those delivered over the Internet the same as their non-digital counterparts. For instance, ride sharing services are classified in the same industry as taxi and taxi dispatch services. This revision is especially important for the retail, publishing and broadcasting industries.

The Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) is used to identify the types of changes made to the classification: real changes and virtual changes. Real changes are those affecting the scope of the existing classification items or categories, whether or not accompanied by changes in the title, definition and/or the coding. Virtual changes are those made in coding, titles and/or definitions, while the meaning or scope of the classification item remains the same. Real changes are the most important ones for analysis.

Combination of classification items

Combinations consist of mergers and take-overs among classes. Close to two hundred and seventy five new groupings were combined into an emerging class (merger) or an existing class (take-over) with the intent to realign the existing classification items under these classes.

The most important combination change, in terms of the number of classes affected, is in the retail trade industry, where 454110 Electronic shopping and mail-order houses is being expired as an industry and these activities are being taken-over by existing retail classes (i.e. brick and mortar retail).

Some other examples of combinations include:

335110 Electric lamp bulb and parts manufacturing and 335120 Lighting fixture manufacturing expired and merged to form emerging item 335130 Electric lighting equipment manufacturing.
811112 Automotive exhaust system repair and 811119 Other automotive mechanical and electrical repair and maintenance expired and merged to form emerging item 811113 Specialized automotive repair.

Decomposition of classification items

Two hundred and fifty nine classes are affected as a result of either a breakdown or a split-off. Some of the most significant decomposition changes are related to NAICS Canada industry 519130 Internet broadcasting and web search portals. This industry was split-off into three new classes, 516212 Media streaming distribution services, 516219 Other media content providers, and 519290 Web search portals and all other information services.

NAICS 91411 Aboriginal public administration is being renamed to Indigenous public administration and split-off into three new national industries 914111 First Nations public administration, 914112 Métis public administration, and 914113 Inuit public administration.

Transfer of parts of classes

There were ninety instances where part of a class continued while part of it was transferred to one or more existing classes.

An example of transfers include:

Coal and coke merchant wholesalers transferred from 418990 to 412110 Petroleum, petroleum products and other hydrocarbons merchant wholesalers; and many miscellaneous examples of wholesale trade activities were transferred from 418990 All other merchant wholesalers, to where there is a better fit.

Virtual Changes

More than two hundred and twenty classification items were modified as a result of a virtual change where changes were made to codes, titles and definitions without affecting the scope or meaning of the existing classification items. These types of changes are important for clarification and making necessary updates or corrections. For example, 522130 Local credit unions was renamed to Credit unions to clarify the scope of the industry since the word local creates confusion as there are now national credit unions in Canada. Also, some titles and definitions were modified so that the classification aligns with current terminology related to mental health and gender.

Finally, all changes made (real or virtual) can potentially have an impact on the content of the NAICS index file, which contains inclusions, illustrative examples and exclusions. More than 8,000 examples and more than 800 exclusions have been either added, deleted or edited in this version of NAICS Canada 2022. The NAICS index (or reference) file supports coding of activities and fosters fluidity when reading or using the classification.

Definition of the establishment

NAICS is a classification system for establishments. The establishment is defined as the smallest operating entity for which records provide information on the cost of inputs - capital, labour, energy, materials and services - employed to produce the units of output. The output may be sold to other establishments and receipts or sales recorded, or the output may be provided without explicit charge, that is, the good or service may be "sold" within the company itself.

The establishment in NAICS Canada is generally a single physical location, where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed (for example, a factory, mill, store, hotel, movie theatre, mine, farm, airline terminal, sales office, warehouse, or central administrative office).

There are cases where records identify distinct and separate economic activities performed at a single physical location (e.g., shops in a hotel). These retailing activities, operated out of the same physical location as the hotel, are identified as separate establishments and classified in retail trade while the hotel is classified in accommodation. In such cases, each activity is treated as a separate establishment provided that: no one industry description in the classification includes such combined activities; separate reports can be prepared on the number of employees, their wages and salaries, sales or receipts, and expenses; and employment and output are significant for both activities.

Exceptions to the single location exist for physically dispersed operations, such as construction, transportation, and telecommunications. For these activities the individual sites, projects, fields, networks, lines, or systems of such dispersed activities are not normally considered to be establishments. The establishment is represented by those relatively permanent main or branch offices, terminals, stations, and so forth, that are either (1) directly responsible for supervising such activities, or (2) the base from which personnel operate to carry out these activities.

Although an establishment may be identical with the enterprise (company), the two terms should not be confused. An enterprise (company) may consist of more than one establishment. Such multi-unit enterprises may have establishments in more than one industry in NAICS. If such enterprises have a separate establishment primarily engaged in providing headquarters services, these establishments are classified in NAICS Sector 55, Management of companies and enterprises.

Although all establishments have output, they may or may not have receipts. In large enterprises, it is not unusual for establishments to exist to solely serve other establishments of the same enterprise (auxiliary establishments). In such cases, these units often do not collect receipts from the establishments they serve. This type of support activity is found throughout the economy and involves goods producing activities as well as services. Units that carry out support activities for the enterprise to which they belong are classified, to the extent feasible, according to the NAICS code related to their own activity. This means that warehouses providing storage facilities for their own enterprise will be classified as warehouses.

Determining the Industry Classification of an establishment

An establishment is classified to an industry when its principal activity meets the definition for that industry. This is a straightforward determination for establishments engaged in a single activity, but where establishments are engaged in more than one activity, it is necessary to establish procedures for identifying its principal activity.

In cases where there is more than one activity, the industry code is assigned based on the relative share of value-added. The activity with the largest value-added is identified as the establishment's principal activity, and the establishment is classified to the industry corresponding to that activity. For example, if the value added within an establishment consists of 40% from manufacturing dishwashers, 30% from manufacturing airspeed instruments and 30% from assembling clocks, it will be classified to NAICS 335223, Major kitchen appliance manufacturing. The assignment of the industry code is performed at the 6-digit level of the classification.

In most cases, when an establishment is engaged in more than one activity, the activities are treated independently. However, in some cases, the activities are treated in combination. There are two types of combined activities that are given special attention in NAICS. They are vertical integration and joint production (horizontal integration).

These combined activities have an economic basis and occur in both goods-producing and services-producing sectors. In some cases, there are efficiencies to be gained from combining certain activities in the same establishment. Some of these combinations occur so commonly or frequently that their combination can be treated as a third activity in its own right and explicitly classified in a specific industry.

One approach to classifying these activities would be to use the primary activity rule, that is, whichever activity is largest. However, the fundamental principle of NAICS is that establishments that employ the same production process should be classified in the same industry. If the premise that the combined activities correspond to a distinct third activity is accepted, then using the primary activity rule would place establishments performing the same combination of activities in different industries, thereby violating the production principle of NAICS. A second reason for NAICS recognizing combined activities is to improve the stability of establishment classification, both over time and among the various parties that implement the classification. An establishment should remain classified in the same industry unless its production process changes; and different parties should code the same establishment or type of establishment in the same way. A consistent treatment of establishments with combined activities is more likely if they are classified to a single industry.

Vertical integration involves consecutive stages of fabrication or production processes in which the output of one step is the input of the next. In general, establishments will be classified based on the final process in a vertically-integrated production environment, unless specifically identified as classified in another industry. For example, paper may be produced either by establishments that first produce pulp and then consume that pulp to produce paper or by those establishments producing paper from purchased pulp. NAICS specifies that both of these types of paper-producing processes should be classified in NAICS 32212, Paper mills rather than in NAICS 32211, Pulp mills. In other cases, NAICS specifies that vertically-integrated establishments be classified in the industry representing the first stage of the manufacturing process. For example, steel mills that make steel and also perform other activities such as producing steel castings are classified in NAICS 33111, Iron and steel mills and ferro-alloy manufacturing, the first stage of the manufacturing process.

The joint production of goods or services represents the second type of combined activities. In some cases, these combined activities have been assigned to a specific NAICS industry. For example, establishments that both engage in the sale of new cars and also provide repair services are coded to NAICS 44111, new car dealers. In other cases, specific industries have been identified for these combined activities, such as NAICS 45711, Gasoline stations with convenience stores.

In some complex businesses, there are units that exclusively produce services in support of other units within the same company or enterprise. Examples of such units are transportation units, central administrative units and head offices. Such units are known as ancillary units and are classified according to the NAICS code related to their own activity. This means that a warehouse providing storage facilities for its own company or enterprise will be classified as a warehouse. Similarly, a head office providing headquarters services for its own company or enterprise will be classified to the head office industry.

The Relationship of NAICS Canada and ISIC Revision 4

Recognizing that economic statistics are substantially more useful if they are also internationally comparable, the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (UN) first adopted an International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) in 1948. Since then, ISIC has been revised in 1958, 1968, 1989, and, most recently, in 2008. This 2008 version of the classification is referred to as ISIC Revision 4. With these various revisions, the Council has recommended that member states adopt, as soon as possible, the latest version of the classification, with such modifications as necessary to meet national requirements, without disturbing the framework of the classification.

Similar to NAICS, ISIC was designed primarily to provide a classification for grouping activities (rather than enterprises or firms), and the primary focus for the ISIC classification system is the kind of activity in which establishments or other statistical entities are engaged. Whereas the main criteria employed in delineating the divisions, groups and classes of ISIC are: (a) the character of the goods and services produced; (b) the uses to which the goods and services are put; and (c) the inputs, the process and technology of production, it is the third criterion of ISIC that corresponds to the conceptual basis of NAICS.

ISIC Rev. 4 groups economic activity into 21 broad sections, 88 divisions, 238 groups, and 419 classes. In the coding system, sections are distinguished by the letters A through U and the divisions, groups, and classes are identified as the two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit groupings, respectively. As was the case with NAICS, the most recent revision of ISIC also focused on improvements to the detail in services sections.

In the development and subsequent revision of NAICS industries, the statistical agencies of the three countries strove to create industries that did not cross ISIC two-digit boundaries. The 2007 revision of NAICS and revision 4 of ISIC increased comparability beyond previous levels. The 2012, 2017 and 2022 NAICS revisions maintains the same level of comparability with ISIC Rev. 4.

The third and fourth versions of ISIC put increased emphasis on harmonization with other activity classifications. ISIC Rev. 4 in particular was intended to have improved comparability with NAICS. The ISIC Rev. 4 revision process spanned several years and involved contributions from classification experts and users around the world, including NAICS experts. The revised ISIC structure is more detailed than the previous version, especially in the area of services. As well, to improve comparability explanatory notes have been extended to provide additional detail. This improved comparability reflects ISIC's central role in international comparison and analysis of industry statistics.

In addition to working to maintain coherence between NAICS and ISIC, international efforts have also focused on moving towards greater coherence between NAICS, ISIC and the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE, Nomenclature statistique des activités économiques dans la Communauté européenne). NACE is very similar to ISIC, so improved convergence of NAICS with ISIC benefits convergence with NACE as well.

Use of the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS)

The needs of analysts to study market shares and the demand for products can more effectively be met by compiling data relating to the products produced by industries and using a product classification based on demand-oriented criteria to group products by markets served. Users of NAICS may want to consider and evaluate whether the classification they require is industry-based or product-based and whether a product classification would best suit their needs.

The North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) is a classification that organizes goods and services throughout the economy in a systematic fashion. It is a departmental standard classification for goods and services. A description of NAPCS is available at the following link: North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) - Canada (12-003-X)

Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) User Guide

Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) - User Guide (DOCX, 122.91 KB)

Table of contents

Introduction

The Statistics Canada SDMX REST web services provide access to the time series made available on the Statistics Canada's website in a structured form. It complies with the SDMX standard. This service is accessible using an HTTP request.

The time series available through Statistics Canada's Common Output Data Repository (CODR) are presented in a form of Canadian indicators/cubes (short-term, structural, specific, etc.) usually representing a set of series/vectors. An indicator/cube is broken down into as many elementary series as there are possible crossover of variables/dimensions. For example, 50 industries * 13 provinces/territories = 650 different series/vectors in CODR.

The SDMX web service allows access:

to the values of the series
structural metadata describing the characteristics of the series
is free of charge

It is possible to quickly extract data using the CODR cube identifier and vectors. In these cases the user must have previously noted the CODR cube identifier or vector identifier from the Statistics Canada website.

What is SDMX?

The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange initiative is sponsored by seven institutions (the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the European Central Bank (ECB), Eurostat, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United Nations (UN) and the World Bank) to foster standards for the exchange of statistical information. The first version of the standard is an ISO standard (ISO/Technical Specification 17369:2005). It offers an information model for the representation of statistical data and metadata, as well as several formats to represent this model (SDMX-EDI, SDMX-JSON, SDMX-CSV and several SDMX-ML formats). It also proposes a standard way of implementing web services, including the use of registries.

The SDMX information model in a nutshell

The list below tells you everything you need to know about the SDMX information model in order for us to start developing an application based on the SDMX standard:

Descriptor concepts: In order to make sense of some statistical data, we need to know the concepts associated with them. For example, on its own the figure 1.3312 is pretty meaningless, but if we know that this is an exchange rate for the CDN dollar against the US dollar on November 19th, 2019, it starts to make more sense.
Packaging structure: Statistical data can be grouped together at the following levels: the observation level (the measurement of some phenomenon); the series level (the measurement of some phenomenon over time, usually at regular intervals); the group level (a group of series – a well-known example being the sibling group, a set of series which are identical, except for the fact that they are measured with different frequencies); and the dataset level (made up of several groups, to cover a specific statistical domain for instance). The descriptor concepts mentioned in point 1 can be attached at various levels in this hierarchy.
Dimensions and attributes: There are two types of descriptor concepts: dimensions, which both identify and describe the data, and attributes, which are purely descriptive.
Keys: Dimensions are grouped into keys, which allow the identification of a particular set of data (a series, for example). The key values are attached at the series level and given in a fixed sequence. Conventionally, frequency is the first descriptor concept and the other concepts are assigned an order for that particular dataset. Partial keys can be attached to groups.
Code lists: Every possible value for a dimension is defined in a code list. Each value on that list is given a language-independent abbreviation (code) and a language-specific description. Attributes are represented sometimes by codes, and sometimes by free-text values. Since the purpose of an attribute is solely to describe and not to identify the data, this is not a problem.
Data Structure Definitions: A Data Structure Definition (key family) specifies a set of concepts, which describe and identify a set of data. It tells us which concepts are dimensions (identification and description) and which are attributes (just description), and it gives the attachment level for each of these concepts on the basis of the packaging structure (dataset, group, series or observation), as well as their status (mandatory or conditional). It also specifies which code lists provide possible values for the dimensions and gives possible values for the attributes, either as code lists or free text fields.

The various SDMX-ML formats

SDMX-ML supports various use cases and, therefore, defines several XML formats. For the purpose of this guide, the following two formats will be used:

The Structure Definition format : This format will be used to define the structure (concepts, code lists, dimensions, attributes, etc.) of the key families.
The Compact format: This format will be used to define the data file. It is not a generic format (it is specific to a Data Structure Definition), but it is designed to support validation and is much more compact so as to support the exchange of large datasets.

The SDMX information model is much richer than this limited introduction, however the above should be sufficient to understand the basics of this web service. For additional information, please refer to the SDMX documentation.

SDMX Data (cube) Web Service

All the data stored in CODR can be retrieved using the query string described below.

protocol://wsEntryPoint/resource/flowRef/key?parameters

where parameters are defined as such:

startPeriod=value&endPeriod=value&firstNObservations=value&lastNObservations=value&detail=value

SDMX Data (cube) Web Service Syntax definition

protocol

The web service is available over http and https.

wsEntryPoint

The web service entry point is available at the same location of the sdmx data and metadata entry point.

resource

The resource for queries is dataflow.

flowRef

A reference to the dataflow describing the data that needs to be returned.

The syntax is the identifier of the agency maintaining the dataflow, followed by the identifier of the dataflow, followed by the dataflow version, separated by a ,(comma).

For example: AGENCY_ID, FLOW_ID, VERSION

If the parameter contains only one of these 3 elements, it is considered to be the identifier of the dataflow. The value for the identifier of the agency maintaining the dataflow will default to all, while the value for the dataflow version will default to latest.

If the string contains only two of these 3 elements, they are considered to be the identifier of the agency maintaining the dataflow and the identifier of the dataflow. The value for the dataflow version will default to latest.

key

The combination of dimensions allows statistical data to be uniquely identified. Such a combination is known as a series key in SDMX and this is what is needed in the key parameter.

Let's say for example that exchange rates can be uniquely identified by the following:

the frequency at which they are measured (e.g.: on a daily basis - code D),
the currency being measured (e.g.: US dollar - code USD),
the currency against which a currency is being measured (e.g.: Euro - code EUR),
the type of exchange rates (Foreign exchange reference rates - code SP00) and
the series variation (such as average or standardized measure for given frequency, code A).

In order to build the series key, you need to take the value for each of the dimensions (in the order in which the dimensions are defined in the DSD) and separate them with a .(dot). The series key for the example above therefore becomes: D.USD.EUR.SP00.A

Wildcarding is supported by omitting the value for the dimension to be wildcarded. For example, the following series key can be used to retrieve the data for all daily currencies against the euro: D..EUR.SP00.A

The OR operator is supported using the + (plus) character. For example, the following key can be used to retrieve the exchange rates against the euro for both the US dollar and the Japanese Yen: D.USD+JPY.EUR.SP00.A

You can of course combine wildcarding and the OR operator. For example, the following key can be used to retrieve daily or monthly exchange rates of any currency against the euro: D+M..EUR.SP00.A

startPeriod & endPeriod

It is possible to define a date range for which observations should be returned by using the startPeriod and/or endPeriod parameters. The values should be given according to the syntax defined in ISO 8601 or as SDMX reporting periods. The format will vary depending on the frequency.

The supported formats are:

YYYY for annual data (e.g.: 2013).
YYYY-MM for monthly data (e.g.: 2013-01).
YYYY-MM-DD for daily data (e.g.: 2013-01-01).

Detail

Using the detail parameter, it is possible to specify the desired amount of information to be returned by the web service.

Possible options are:

full: The data (series and observations) and the attributes will be returned. This is the default.

firstNObservations & lastNObservations

Using the firstNObservations and/or lastNObservations parameters, it is possible to specify the maximum number of observations to be returned for each of the matching series, starting from the first observation (firstNObservations) or counting back from the most recent observation (lastNObservations).

SDMX Data (vector) Web Service

All the data stored in CODR can be retrieved using the query string described below.

 protocol://wsEntryPoint/resource/vector?parameters

where parameters are defined as such:

startPeriod=value&endPeriod=value&firstNObservations=value&lastNObservations=value&detail=value

SDMX Data (vector) Web Service Syntax definition

protocol

The web service is available over http and https.

wsEntryPoint

The web service entry point is available at the same location of the sdmx data and metadata entry point.

resource

The resource for vector queries is vector.

vector

The vector allows statistical time series to be identified. Vectors are unique identifiers to a time series of data points. (i.e. v123456) They do not change over time. Given the vector number does not change, users can still use the same vectors as shortcuts to their data points of interest.

startPeriod & endPeriod

The supported formats are:

YYYY for annual data (e.g.: 2013).
YYYY-MM for monthly data (e.g.: 2013-01).
YYYY-MM-DD for daily data (e.g.: 2013-01-01).

Detail

Using the detail parameter, it is possible to specify the desired amount of information to be returned by the web service.

Possible options are:

full: The data (series and observations) and the attributes will be returned. This is the default.

firstNObservations & lastNObservations: Using the firstNObservations and/or lastNObservations parameters, it is possible to specify the maximum number of observations to be returned for each of the matching series, starting from the first observation (firstNObservations) or counting back from the most recent observation (lastNObservations).

SDMX Data (vector) Web Service Examples

4. Retrieve the data for the series (vectors) 466670 (Canada / Male / All ages). Table 17100005 is presented in full details in appendix 1.

Content negotiation

Using the HTTP content negotiation mechanism, you can select the representation to be returned and you can also instruct the service to compress the data to be returned.

Format selection

The following data formats are supported by the web service:

Data formats:
- SDMX-ML 2.1 Generic Data format:
  application/vnd.sdmx.genericdata+xml;version=2.1. This is the default for data queries.
- SDMX-ML 2.1 Structure Specific Data format:
  application/vnd.sdmx.structurespecificdata+xml;version=2.1
- SDMX-JSON: application/vnd.sdmx.data+json;version=1.0.0-wd
- CSV: text/csv
Metadata formats:
- SDMX-ML Structure format: application/vnd.sdmx.structure+xml;version=2.1

For additional information about the various SDMX-ML formats, please refer to the SDMX documentation.

Generic mime types (application/json, application/xml) are also supported but they will always point to the most recent version of the SDMX formats supported by these web services. That version will change in the future, whenever new versions of the various SDMX formats are made available.

Is it therefore highly recommended that implementers use one of the specific mime types above rather than a generic one, to avoid issues when new versions of the formats are released.

Output compression

You can also enable data compression using the Accept-Encoding HTTP header field. Compressed messages are typically significantly smaller than uncompressed messages, which can lead to improvements when transferring large amount data over the network.

Status codes

The web service returns the following HTTP status codes.

HTTP status codes
Code	Status	Description
200	OK	Your query could be successfully processed and the data have been returned.
304	No changes	No changes since the timestamp supplied in the `If-Modified-Since` header.
400	Syntax error	If there is a syntactic or semantic issue with the parameters you supplied, a 400 HTTP status code will be returned.
404	No results found	A 404 HTTP status code will be returned if there are no results matching the query.
406	Not Acceptable	If you ask for a resource representation that we don't support, a 406 HTTP status code will be returned. See the section about European Central Bank content negotiation, to view the supported representations.
500	Internal Server Error	When there is an issue on our side, a 500 HTTP status code will be returned. Feel free to try again later or to contact our support hotline.
501	Not implemented	This web service offers a subset of the functionality offered by the SDMX RESTful web service specification. When you use a feature that we have not yet implemented, a 501 HTTP status code will be returned.
503	Service unavailable	If our web service is temporarily unavailable, a 503 HTTP status code will be returned.

Useful tips

The SDMX Technical Working Group publishes a list of tips and tricks for web service clients, which is well worth reading.

The SDMX Technical Working Group has also published a cheat sheet (PDF, 83 KB) which summarises, in 2 A4 pages, the main points of the SDMX 2.1 RESTful API.

If the documentation does not contain the information you require, or if you have any general comments or feedback regarding our web service, please contact us.

All sample queries in this tutorial can also be executed using command-line tools such as curl or wget:

wget -O data.xml \
--header="Accept:application/vnd.sdmx.structurespecificdata+xml;version=2.1" \
https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/service/data/EXR/M.NOK.EUR.SP00.A
curl -k -o data.xml \
--header "Accept:application/vnd.sdmx.structurespecificdata+xml;version=2.1" \
https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/service/data/EXR/M.NOK.EUR.SP00.A

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Canada 2022 Version 1.0

Release date: January 27, 2022

Status

This standard was approved as a departmental standard on July 30, 2021.

NAICS Canada 2022 Version 1.0

NAICS Canada 2022 Version 1.0 is the biggest revision to NAICS since 2002. The overarching theme to the updates is the digital economy. The guiding principle of these changes is to classify economic activities based on digital platforms, and those offered on other forms over the Internet, in the same groupings as their non-digital equivalents.

The Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) has been used for this revision to identify the types of changes made to the classification: real changes and virtual changes. Real changes are those affecting the scope of the existing classification items or categories, whether or not accompanied by changes in the title, definition and/or the coding. Virtual changes are those made in coding, titles and/or definitions, while the meaning or scope of the classification item remains the same.

The Importance of Data Quality (19220009)

Join us as Statistics Canada’s Quality Secretariat will give a presentation on the importance of data quality. We are living in an exciting time for data: sources are more abundant, they are being generated in innovative ways, and they are available quicker than ever. However, a data source is not only worthless if it does not meet basic quality standards – it can be misleading, and worse than having no data at all!

Statistics Canada's Quality Secretariat has a mandate to promote good quality practices within the agency, across the Government of Canada, and internationally. For quality to truly be present, it must be incorporated into each process (from design to analysis) and into the product itself – whether that product is a microdata file or estimates derived from it.

We will address why data quality is important and how one can evaluate it in practice. We will cover some basic concepts in data quality (quality assurance vs. control, metadata, etc.), and present data quality as a multidimensional concept. Finally, we will show data quality in action by evaluating a data source together. All data quality literacy levels are welcome. After all, everybody plays a part in quality!

establishing government programs to assist businesses
assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets
enabling academics and economists to analyze the economic performance of Canadian industries and to better understand rapidly evolving business environments.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

establishing government programs to assist businesses
assisting the business community in negotiating contracts and collective agreements
supporting the government in making informed decisions about fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange policies
indexing social benefit programs and determining tax brackets

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.

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.
