Statistics Canada's Website Evaluation 2021

Consultation objectives

In January and February 2021 Statistics Canada conducted its annual website evaluation by collecting feedback from visitors on a number of topics, including:

  • satisfaction
  • success in task completion

Methodology

A pop-up intercept was used from January 11 to February 2, 2021 to invite website users to complete a short questionnaire. In total, 10,373 visitors participated in the consultation.

Respondent profile

In order to better understand our respondents' profile, a few demographic questions (e.g., occupational profile, statistical proficiency, frequency of visits, etc.) were included in the short questionnaire.

When asked their occupational profile, 70% of respondents indicated that they were employed, 20% said that they were students, and the remainder either said they were retired (6%) or they selected "Other" (3%) from the list of options.
Of those employed, more than half (54%) were from the private sector and over one quarter (26%) worked in government.

Respondents were asked how they would define their statistical proficiency: 20% said they had a high proficiency (can manipulate datasets and do univariate or multivariate analysis); 57% said medium (can analyze and interpret data tables and turn them into useable information); 16% said low (can calculate a percentage and can display in a graph); and 6% indicated that they have no statistical proficiency at all.

Respondents were asked about the frequency of their visits to the website: 21% were frequent visitors (visited the website six or more times in the last six months) and 79% were infrequent visitors (visited the website fewer than six times in the last six months).

Results

Overall satisfaction

In 2021, 72% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the Statistics Canada website, in line with 73% in 2020.

Information sought

The consultation revealed that 42% of visitors were looking for data and data tables on a specific topic; 14% came to fill out a survey; 12% wanted information on jobs or careers at Statistics Canada; 10% searched for studies, articles or publications on a specific topic; and 22% were looking for various things such as Information about a Statistics Canada survey or information on a specific location.

Task completion success

As in 2020, the results from 2021 showed that more than three quarters (77%) of respondents completed their task successfully.

Among successful respondents, 83% took less than 6 minutes to find the information they were seeking and 81% reported that finding information was easy.

Frequent visitors indicated a higher success rate in completing their tasks (81%) than infrequent visitors (73%).

Students had the most success in finding information at 81% and respondents from the federal government sector had a 78% rate of success.

Among all visitors, the success level was highest for respondents looking for information in The Daily,at 87%.

Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The statistical information from the IBSP serves many purposes, including:

  • Obtaining information on the supply of and/or demand for energy in Canada
  • Enabling governmental agencies to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities in regards to public utilities
  • Enabling all levels of government to establish informed policies in the energy area
  • Assisting the business community in the corporate decision-making process.

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

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

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

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.

Description and examples

This guide is designed to assist you as you complete the
2021 Monthly Natural Gas Distribution Survey.

Help Line: 1-877-604-7828

Gas distributors are establishments primarily engaged in the distribution of natural or synthetic gas to the ultimate consumers through a system of mains.

Amounts: Report amounts in Gigajoules (GJs) of natural gas received and delivered during the month under review.

Value (cost to customer): dollar values exclude provincial taxes (if applicable), goods and services tax (GST) and harmonized sales tax (HST). Further, rebates paid to the customer should be deducted in order to arrive at "value".

Confidentiality

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes.

Table of contents

A - General information

Purpose of survey

The purpose of this survey is to obtain information on the supply of, and demand for, energy in Canada. This information serves as an important indicator of Canadian economic performance, and is used by all levels of government in establishing informed policies in the energy area. In the case of public utilities, it is used by governmental agencies to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities. The private sector also uses this information in the corporate decision-making process. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon.

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

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as well as with the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources, the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government, the Ministère de l'énergie et des ressources naturelles du Québec, Transition énergétique Québec, the Manitoba Department of Growth, Enterprise and Trade, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, the Canada Energy Regulator, Natural Resources Canada, and Environment and Climate Change Canada.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Why a diary?

To save time, some expenses were not covered in detail during the survey. Frequent day-to-day expenses are often forgotten or understated when collected, but overall they can represent a good portion of a household's budget. This diary will help you to report all of your household's daily expenses and will also help you track your weekly spending.

Where does all our money go?

When identifying expenses, some easily forgotten items include coffee and meals purchased at work, school or on the go; miscellaneous items purchased at the pharmacy, grocery store and hardware store; and items purchased by other members of the household. Other examples of forgotten expenses include tickets for the theatre, movies and sporting events; pet food; drinks purchased in bars; purchases made in garden centres and sports stores; and on-line purchases.

To ensure nothing is forgotten, think about where you and other members of your household spend money. Do you shop in warehouse-type stores, big-box stores, markets or convenience stores? Does anyone in your household make purchases online? All that counts!

How to complete the diary:

Have a receipt?

This is the easiest way to keep track! Put receipts into the diary's pocket. You will not have to transcribe these expenses in the diary. Fill in the diary on a daily bases to avoid forgetting items.

If you don't have a receipt, transcribe an expense:

  • Write the date (DD/MM) and a description of the expense.
  • Record the cost (CAN$) of each item after deducting coupons, rebates or gift certificates.

Expenses-in stores and online:

  • Use this section to record your purchases in stores and online.

An important message to all respondents

On behalf of the Canadian Industry Partnership for Energy Conservation (CIPEC), I would like to thank you for responding to the 2019 Industrial Consumption of Energy (ICE) survey.

Energy efficiency plays a key role in Canada's efforts to reduce energy use and GHG emissions, while strengthening competitiveness and maximizing profits. Your participation in the ICE survey enables us to track industry's progress and help meet Canada's Pan-Canadian Framework objectives of clean growth and a low carbon economy. Specifically, the ICE data is used to help build the business case for funding and program renewals, monitoring sector progress and celebrating industry's energy achievements.

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) supports industrial organizations in improving their energy performance through program activities such as:

  • Energy management frameworks;
  • Cost-shared financial assistance;
  • Tools, guides and technical information; and
  • National and international networks.

An example of NRCan's program activities includes providing support for the implementation of energy management systems, such as ISO 50001. Over 160 Canadian facilities are certified to ISO 50001. The list of compliant and certified facilities is expanding – because it is saving businesses money and improving their ability to compete. Canadian companies that have implemented ISO 50001 have improved their energy performance on average 10% within 2 years, resulting in up to $10 million in annual cost savings.

NRCan and CIPEC can help you produce results and save costs. Contact us today to learn more about how we can support your organization in improving your energy performance.

Thank you again for your participation.
