Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey will provide information that will help Canadians understand how much waste is managed by governments and businesses in Canada. Data will be collected from businesses within the waste management industry, as well as from businesses that are engaged in handling some or all of their own waste, through partnerships and material recovery agreements. The results will assist businesses and policy makers in making sound decisions related to waste management, based on data that apply specifically to activities conducted in this area. The survey will provide a comprehensive picture of waste management in Canada.

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, 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, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada

Definitions and explanations

Glossary:

Non-hazardous waste (garbage):
Included in this category are materials, products or by-products for which the waste generator has no further use and which are received for disposal at waste disposal facilities or for processing at a waste processing facility.

Residential waste:
Residential waste refers to waste from primary and seasonal dwellings, which includes all single family, multi-family, high-rise and low-rise residences.

It includes:

• the waste picked up by the municipality, (either using its own staff, or through contracted companies)
• the waste from residential sources which is self-hauled to depots, transfer stations and landfills.

Construction, renovation and demolition waste (CR&D):
CR&D waste, also referred to as DLC (demolition, land clearing and construction waste), refers to waste generated by construction, renovation and demolition activities. It generally includes materials such as brick, painted wood, drywall, metal, cardboard, doors, windows, wiring. It excludes materials from land clearing on areas not previously developed. CR&D waste can come from residential sources such as house renovations or from non-residential sources for example the construction or demolition of office buildings.

Hazardous waste:
Includes materials or substances that given their corrosive, inflammable, infectious, reactive and toxic characteristics, may present a real or potential harm to human health or the environment. Due to their hazardous nature they require special handling, storing, transportation, treatment and disposal as specified by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (1985), The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (1988), The Basel Convention (1989), or the Export and Import of Hazardous Waste Regulations (1992).

Industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) waste, non-residential:
IC&I waste is the waste generated by all non-residential sources in a municipality, and is excluded from the residential waste stream. This includes:

• industrial waste, which is generated by manufacturing, and primary and secondary industries, and is managed off-site from the manufacturing operation. It is generally picked up under contract by the private sector
• commercial waste is generated by commercial operations such as shopping centres, offices, etc. Some commercial waste (e.g., from small street-front stores) may be picked up by the municipal collection system along with the residential waste
• institutional waste is generated by institutional facilities such as schools, hospitals, government facilities, senior homes, universities, etc. This waste is generally picked up under contract with the private sector.

Organic material collection, non-residential:
Collection of organic material (e.g., food scraps, leaves, grass, wood waste and paper products) from sources such as heavy and light industry, manufacturing, agriculture, warehousing, transportation, retail and wholesale commercial activities, restaurants, offices, educational or recreational facilities, health and other service facilities.

Definitions and explanations

Glossary:

Processing residue:
The portion of the materials that is deemed non-marketable after processing due to breakage, transportation or processing limitations. The residue produced at the facility as a result of the processing of acceptable waste is not for beneficial use.

Estimating sources of waste (garbage), recyclables and organic materials:
It is acknowledged that it is often very difficult to track the quantities of waste and recyclable materials by source unless the business or local government collects or prepares materials from only one source (e.g., a firm that collects waste only from IC&I sources).

In this survey, you are being asked to estimate the proportion of materials by source of material at three points (if applicable and known): at the facility where organic material is processed, at the facility where recyclables are prepared and at disposal. If you engage in one or more of these activities, you will be asked to estimate the proportion of waste, recyclable or organic materials from residential, non-residential and construction and demolition sources. While it is recognized that such estimates may be difficult to make, you are asked to be as accurate as possible.

Sources of materials:
Refers to the sources of generation of the waste or recyclable material. These sources are classified as residential, industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) and construction, renovation and demolition (CR&D). It is sometimes difficult to ascertain the source of a given material because of lack of tracking or complex collection arrangements (e.g., when collection is contracted out or when collection vehicles pick up materials from a mix of sources on their routes).

Food waste:
Includes food wastes and food scraps from households and non-residential sources such as grocery stores, restaurants, etc., destined for composting or anaerobic digestion.

Source separated organic materials (SSO):
Source separation of organics is the setting aside of organic waste materials at their point of generation (the home, office, or other place of business) by the generator. Examples of SSO materials are food scraps, soiled paper packaging such as ice cream boxes, muffin paper, flour and sugar bags, paper coffee cups and paper plates.

Leaf and yard waste:
Includes any waste collected from a yard or garden such as leaves, grass clippings, plants, tree trimmings and branches.

Forestry waste:
The debris or leftover waste from the management of forests. This would include trees, stumps, branches, etc., that were discarded.

Wood waste:
The primary constituents of wood waste are used lumber, trim, trees, branches, and other wood debris from construction and demolition clearing and grubbing activities. It includes: dimensional lumber, plywood, particle board and fibre board, crating, wood fencing, pressure treated lumber, wood shingles, wooden doors, creosoted wood products, demolition wood waste, painted wood.

Agricultural waste:
All waste materials produced as a result of agricultural activities, including, for example, residues from the application of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and other chemicals, wastewater, bedding material, etc.

Biosolids:
Includes solid or semisolid material obtained from treated wastewater.

Include all quantities of food waste, materials from source separated organics programs (SSO), leaf and yard waste as well as Christmas trees and pumpkins.

Exclude industrial sludge, portable toilet waste, and oil field waste.

These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to yield specific properties. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion. Steel is an example of a ferrous metal. The recycling of ferrous metals include but is not limited to the processing of tin/steel cans, strapping, as well as the extraction of metals from appliances.

Scrap metal:
Any metal cutting or reject of a manufacturing operation, which may be suitable for recycling.

Textiles:
Material composed of natural or synthetic fibers, including any combination of animal derived material such as wool or silk, plant-derived material such as linen and cotton, and synthetic material such as polyester or nylon (e.g., towels, shoes, purses, clothing, curtains and carpets).

White goods:
Includes metal items such as: stoves, fridges, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, washers, dryers, hot water tanks, metal sinks, microwaves, and various other metal items.

Plastics:
PET (1): Polyethylene Terephthalate, commonly abbreviated as PET or PETE, is a polymer resin of the polyester family. PET is identified by the number 1 recycling symbol. Commonly recyclable PET materials include 2 litre soda bottles, water bottles, cooking oil bottles, peanut butter jars.

HDPE (2): High Density Polyethylene is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. HDPE is identified by the number 2 recycling symbol. Some commonly recycled HDPE materials include detergent bottles, milk jugs, and grocery bags.

All other plastics (3-7): Polyvinyl Chloride - PVC (3), Low Density Polyethylene - LDPE (4), Polypropylene - PP (5), Polystyrene - PS (6), Other (7). Common uses: (3) plastic pipes, outdoor furniture, shrink wrap, water bottles, (4) dry cleaning bags, produce bags, trash can liners, (5) aerosol caps, drinking straws, (6) packaging pellets, Styrofoam cups, (7) food containers.

Electronics:
Electronics are items that function through the use of electricity and/or batteries. Also included are items that have a circuit board but do not necessarily require electricity from an outlet (such as telecommunication equipment). Examples are personal computers, laptops, monitors, peripheral devices (printers, scanners, etc.), telephones, cell phones, facsimile machines, stereos, portable music players and children's toys containing electronic components.

Construction, renovation and demolition waste (CR&D):
CR&D waste, also referred to as DLC (demolition, land clearing and construction waste), refers to waste generated by construction, renovation and demolition activities. It generally includes materials such as brick, painted wood, drywall, metal, cardboard, doors, windows, wiring. It excludes materials from land clearing on areas not previously developed. CR&D waste can come from residential sources such as house renovations or from non-residential sources for example the construction or demolition of office buildings.

Only count quantities once.
Exclude:

• organic materials reported in question 41
• any hazardous material (e.g., batteries, motor oil, light bules, paint, nuclear waste, etc.)

Notes to the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations (unaudited) for the year ending March 31

1. Methodology and significant assumptions

The Future-Oriented Statement of Operations has been prepared based on government priorities and departmental plans as described in the Departmental Plan.

The information in the forecasted results for fiscal year 2023-24 is based on actual results as at October 31, 2023 and on forecasts for the remainder of the fiscal year. Forecasts have been made for the planned results for fiscal year 2024-25.

The main assumptions underlying the forecasts are as follows:

• The agency's activities will remain substantially the same as in the previous year.
• Expenses and revenues, including the determination of amounts internal and external to the government, are based on historical trends and known cyclical changes.

These assumptions are made as at November 1, 2023.

2. Variations and changes to the forecast financial information

Although every attempt has been made to forecast final results for the remainder of 2023-24 and for 2024-25, actual results achieved for both years are likely to differ from the forecasted information presented, and this variation could be material.

In preparing this Future-Oriented Statement of Operations, Statistics Canada has made estimates and assumptions about the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and are continually evaluated.

Factors that could lead to material differences between the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations and the historical financial statements include:

• the timing and the amount of acquisitions and disposals of property which may affect gains, losses and amortization expense;
• the implementation of new collective agreements;
• economic conditions, which may affect both the amount of revenue earned and the collectability of receivables; and
• other changes to the operating budget, such as new initiatives or technical adjustments made later in the fiscal year.

After the Departmental Plan is tabled in Parliament, the agency will not be updating the forecasts for any changes in financial resources made in ensuing supplementary estimates. Variances will be explained in the Departmental Results Report.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The Future-Oriented Statement of Operations has been prepared using the Government of Canada's accounting policies in effect for fiscal year 2023-24 and is based on Canadian public sector accounting standards. The presentation and results using the stated accounting policies do not result in any significant differences from Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

(a) Expenses

Transfer payments are recorded as an expense in the year the transfer is authorized, and all eligibility criteria have been met by the recipient.

Other expenses are generally recorded when goods are received or services are rendered and include expenses related to personnel, professional and special services, repair and maintenance, utilities, materials and supplies, as well as amortization of tangible capital assets. Provisions to reflect changes in the value of assets or liabilities, such as provisions for bad debts, advances and inventory obsolescence, as well as utilization of inventories and prepaid expenses, and other are also included in other expenses.

(b) Revenues

Revenues received for special statistical services are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt. These amounts are recognized as revenue in the period in which the services are rendered and related expenses are incurred.

Deferred revenue consists of amounts received prior to the provision of goods or services that will be recognized as revenue in a subsequent fiscal year as the performance obligations are met.

Other revenues are recognized in the period the event giving rise to the revenues occurred.

Revenues that are non-respendable are not available to discharge the agency's liabilities. While the Chief Statistician is expected to maintain accounting control, he has no authority regarding the disposition of non-respendable revenues. As a result, non-respendable revenues are earned on behalf of the Government of Canada and are therefore presented as a reduction of the entity's gross revenues.

4. Parliamentary authorities

The agency is financed in part by the Government of Canada through parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to the agency differs from financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles because authorities are based mainly on cash flow requirements. Items recognized in the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations in one year may be funded through parliamentary authorities in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, the agency has a different net cost of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:

(a) Reconciliation of net cost of operations to requested authorities (in thousands of dollars)

I. Introduction

A. Description

The Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs (TLAC) survey collects data for full-time students in degree programs at Canadian public postsecondary institutions. The survey was developed to provide an overview of tuition and additional compulsory fees, and living accommodation costs that students can expect to pay for an academic year.

TLAC survey data:

• provides stakeholders, the public and students with annual tuition costs and changes in tuition fees from the previous year
• contributes to a better understanding of the costs to obtain a degree
• contributes to education policy development
• contributes to the Consumer Price Index
• facilitates interprovincial comparisons
• facilitates comparisons between institutions

B. Reference period

2024/2025 academic year (September to April)

C. Population

The target population is all publicly funded degree-granting institutions (universities and colleges) in Canada.

The survey target population includes institutions that have degree-granting status for the academic year 2024/2025. Institutions that do not have degree-granting status are excluded even if they provide portions of programs that lead to a degree granted by another institution. The survey is limited to institutions whose operations are primarily funded by provincial governments. Institutions that do not receive grants from Education ministries or departments, and institutions that receive grants only from Health ministries and departments are excluded.

D. Fields of study

The field of study classification for both undergraduate and graduate programs are adapted from the 2016 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), Statistics Canada's standard for field of study classification. The CIP's structure comprises several groupings developed jointly by Statistics Canada and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the USA. It is based on work undertaken as part of the creation of the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) by Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Refer to Appendix A: CIP

Note: Dental, Medical and Veterinary Residency Programs offered in teaching hospitals and similar locations that may lead to advanced professional certification are excluded.

E. Submission Date

The completed questionnaire must be returned by June 7, 2024 by uploading the file back in the Secure Internet Site (E-File transfer Service).

If you require further information or assistance with completing the questionnaire, please contact: statcan.tlac-fss.statcan@statcan.gc.ca.

II. Instructions

General

Tuition fee tables disseminated by Statistics Canada are based on an academic year for full-time students with a full course load in degree programs, regardless of the number of credits.

Tuition should be reported based on the academic year (8 months, September to April) or semester (4 months) regardless of the number of credits. If it is not possible to provide tuition data for a semester or academic year, tuition should be reported per credit.

Final fees should be reported for both academic years. If they have not yet been finalized for the 2024/2025 academic year, report the best estimate possible and check the box on the questionnaire to state that these are estimated fees for 2024/2025.

Part A: Tuition fees for full-time students

How to Report Tuition Fees:

1. Report tuition fees for full-time students in degree programs only. The degree must be conferred by your institution, which means that students start and complete their degree at your institution. DO NOT include associate degrees, diplomas and certificates.
2. Verify and update the previous year data (2023/2024) on each page if required.
3. Report fees with decimals, NO commas. Example 2415.45.
4. Quebec, Nova-Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario (if applicable):  Lower fees represent Canadian students that have a permanent address in the province (in-province students) and the Upper fees represent Canadian students with an out-of-province permanent address.  For Ontario respondents, please indicate in Comments section if your institution has implemented these differential fees.
5. Academic year (8 months, September to April): When tuition is reported based on the academic year, report the full cost of the program regardless of the number of credits.
6. Semester (4 months): When tuition is reported based on semester, report the full cost of the semester regardless of the number of credits. Semester fees will be multiplied by two to calculate tuition for the academic year (8 months).
7. Per Credit: Only report per credit if you cannot report based on semester or academic year regardless of the number of credits. We assume 30 credits as the minimum number of credits to calculate academic year fees. Therefore, when reporting based on per credit, tuition will be multiplied by 30 credits.
8. Report additional compulsory fees on pages 4 (undergraduate) and 5 (graduate).  Provide a breakdown of the Other compulsory fees in the Comments section.
9. NEW degree programs must be specified in the Comments section at the bottom of page 2 (undergraduate) and page 3 (graduate).
10. Undergraduate Law on page 2:  only professional designations for Law (LLB, JD, BCL), from a Faculty of Law should be reported in this grouping.
11. Graduate Law on page 3:  only professional Law degrees from a Faculty of Law (post-LLB/JD), should be reported in this grouping.
12. Tuition for legal studies degree programs leading to a non-professional law degree should be reported under "Social and Behavioural Sciences, and Legal Studies" on pages 2 and 3. See Appendix A.
13. Only Medicine (MD, doctor of medicine) program should be reported under undergraduate Medicine, page 2 of the questionnaire. See Appendix A.
14. Personal, Protective and Transportation Services includes:
    1. 43.0103 Criminal justice / law enforcement administration
    2. 43.0104 Criminal justice / safety studies
    3. 43.0106 Forensic science and technology
    4. 43.0107 Criminal justice / police science

Part B: Additional Compulsory fees for full-time Canadian Students

How to Report Additional Compulsory Fees:

In part B of the questionnaire, report additional compulsory fees for full-time Canadian students in the first row of the table where these fees do not vary according to their field of study for all full-time undergraduate students (page 4) and graduate students (page 5).

Important note: Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that students can opt out of with proof of comparable coverage should not be included. However, this information should be noted in the comments section of the questionnaire.

New for 2024/2025: Please provide a breakdown of the fees included in your Other fees in the Comments section. Specifically, include the amounts charged for registration, application, and transcript fees.

Part C: Living Accommodation costs at residences/housing

Accommodation costs should be reported wherever possible for full-time students living in residence. If it is not possible to separate the room and the meal plan costs for single students only a total should be reported.

III. Definitions

Tuition Fees

Tuition that is charged to a full-time student with a full course load, regardless of the number of credits.

Additional Compulsory fees

Additional compulsory fees collected by the TLAC survey are those that all students must pay regardless of the field of study (TLAC grouping).

These fees cover services that vary from institution to institution, year to year, faculty to faculty, or school to school within the same institution.

Additional compulsory fees may include: general fees (admission, application, registration, examination, internship, etc.), technology fees, student services fees, student association fees, contributions to student activities, copyright fees, premiums for compulsory insurance plans, fees for athletics and recreational facilities/activities, and other fees such as transcript, degree, laboratory, uniform, u-pass, etc.
