Changes to the Internet Access Services Index of the Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Background

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices of consumer goods and services over time. In order to accurately reflect changes in the market and the behaviour of consumers, Statistics Canada periodically reviews and updates the methods applied to the various components of the CPI program. The release of the November 2015 CPI (published on December 18, 2015) marks the implementation of the new methodology of the internet access services (IAS).

The IAS index is part of the communications index and ultimately belongs to the household operations, furnishings and equipment index, which is a major component of the CPI. Upon publication of the January 2015 CPI, the basket weight of the IAS component, with a weight reference period of 2013 and at link month (December 2014) prices, was 0.96%.

The IAS index is obtained by comparing, over time, the cost to consumers of purchasing a constant quantity and quality of internet access services. The central product of the index is a monthly internet access services subscription through a wired line to the household’s residence. Access to the internet bundled with voice calls over a cellular network is not included as this service is covered by the cellular services index. However, all other methods of accessing the internet are represented by the internet access services index, even if they are not explicitly priced.

With the new methodology, wired, broadband internet access services plans from numerous internet service providers (ISPs) are included in the sample. Plans are differentiated by characteristics such as download speed, upload speed and usage cap.

Weights are assigned to each ISP to account for their share of the consumer market. Lower level weights are also applied; in the absence of timely quantity or expenditure data on individual plans, each ISP’s plans are weighted based on their download speed.

In conjunction with the new sampling scheme, a new quality adjustment method using hedonic regression has been implemented to control for changes in quality between a newly introduced plan and its predecessor.

1. Reporting instructions

The following provides information to assist in completing the Monthly Coal Survey.
For assistance in completing this questionnaire, please call: 1-877-604-7828.

  • There are 2 separate coal products: Raw coal and clean coal. Clean coal section further subdivides in Metallurgical and Thermal coal.
  • For each product, please report to the nearest metric tonne and dollar. Do not duplicate amounts.
  • If the exact tonnages are not available, please provide your best estimate.
  • Please keep a copy of the questionnaire for your records.

2. Definitions

Bituminous Coal - A dense, black coal, often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material with a moisture content usually less than 20 per cent. Often referred to as soft coal it is used primarily for generating electricity, making coke and space heating.

Sub-bituminous Coal - A black coal used primarily for thermal generation with moisture content between 15 and 30 per cent.

Lignite - A brownish-black coal of low rank containing 30 to 40 per cent moisture and volatile matter (also known as brown coal in which the texture of the original wood is distinct). Used almost exclusively for electric power generation.

Coal Coke - A hard, porous product made from baking bituminous coal in ovens at high temperatures. Often used as a fuel and a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace.

Raw coal – Any type of coal (bituminous, sub-bituminous and lignite) as it is extracted from underground or surface mines. Raw coal can be used as is (especially lignite and sub-bituminous) in electric power generating plants, residential consume or other industrial activities. Higher quality coals such as bituminous are mostly send to preparation plants (also known as cleaning plants and washeries) in order to remove the moisture and debris.

Metallurgical coal – High quality coal obtained in preparation plants after removing the moisture and debris from bituminous coal. Metallurgical coal includes PCI (pulverized coal injection) weak, soft and hard coals which are destined for coking or steel plants.

Thermal coal – Medium quality coal obtained in preparation plants after removing the moisture and debris from bituminous coal. It is mostly used for electric power generation.

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 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, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

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

Record linkages

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

Administrative data – Frequently Asked Questions

What are administrative data?

Administrative data or information are collected by government agencies and private sector companies for their ongoing operations, which are then obtained by Statistics Canada to meet its mandated objectives. Statistics Canada has the obligation to keep your information private, secure, and confidential. It's the law.

What does Statistics Canada do with this information?

Statistics Canada uses administrative data to complement or replace survey data, reduce response burden and costs, make statistical operations more efficient and also to improve data quality and timeliness. These data enable Statistics Canada to produce statistics and research to benefit Canada.

How does Statistics Canada protect your confidentiality?

At Statistics Canada, the confidentiality of data is governed by three acts—the Statistics Act, the Access to Information Act, and the Privacy Act —and departmental policies and directives on the collection, protection and use of administrative data.

In addition, Statistics Canada employees are sworn to secrecy, and subject to fines and/or imprisonment, should they reveal confidential information.

Is the use of administrative data something new at Statistics Canada?

No. Statistics Canada has been receiving vital statistics data from the provinces and territories since 1921 and import and export data about businesses since 1938. Today, over 40% of Statistics Canada's programs are based in whole or in part on data available from administrative sources.

Why is Statistics Canada asking for more administrative data now?

Statistics Canada has always worked towards achieving greater efficiency in data collection to reduce both duplication and the response burden placed on Canadians. This type of data is also used to measure changes in the economy or society (such as the share economy) that cannot be measured with survey data. In fact, Statistics Canada has been using administrative data for almost a century. More recently, federal departments have made an effort to reduce the burden that the government places on the resources of small and medium-sized businesses.

What are the benefits of using administrative data?

Using administrative data saves time and money—yours and ours. These data reduce the amount of time Canadians spend responding to surveys, while ensuring that Statistics Canada surveys and programs remain accurate, relevant and efficient. Over time, an increased use of administrative data would mean that you would not have to supply the same information repeatedly. This is especially helpful to us in gathering data pertaining to populations or topics that may be difficult or costly to obtain by survey.

Are government organizations and private businesses required to provide Statistics Canada with this information?

Yes. Statistics Canada operates under the authority of the Statistics Act which gives Statistics Canada powers to collect and compile a wide range of economic and social statistics that will benefit Canadians. Statistics Canada works in collaboration with organizations who have administrative data that can help in measuring the economy and society. We request needed information that has statistical or research value, while respecting the principles of privacy. collecting the least amount of information.

Does Statistics Canada disclose administrative data to other government agencies or businesses?

In line with the Statistics Act, Statistics Canada may share select administrative data with other government agencies or businesses. This means releasing selected business data to other organizations to produce and improve official statistics of national importance. We apply ethical, statistical, and security best-practice standards to the data, and others who use the data are bound by the same security and confidentiality rules as Statistics Canada.

What legislation governs the sharing of administrative data by organizations with Statistics Canada?

The Statistics Act, Access to Information Act, Privacy Act, and legislation pertaining to data providers govern the sharing of administrative data with Statistics Canada.

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. 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 Ministère de l'énergie et des ressources naturelles du Québec, the Manitoba Department of Mineral Resources, Alberta Energy, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines, the British Columbia Ministry of Natural Gas Development, the National Energy Board, Natural Resources Canada and Environment 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.

Data linkage

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

Reporting instructions

This schedule is to be completed for the station or stations indicated on the affixed label to the questionnaire. Please report for the requested period: January to December 2015.

Reported value ($) should be the total cost at the station gate.

If there are any stations on standby, please report them in the notes section.

If the information requested is unknown, please provide your best estimate.

Cogeneration

Cogeneration: A highly efficient means of generating heat and electric power at the same time from the same energy source. Cogeneration makes use of the excess heat, usually in the form of relatively low-temperature steam exhausted from the power generation turbines towards another purpose.

Type: Primary purpose
Electricity internal: electricity which is used only for internal purposes.
Electricity external: electricity which is sold / supplied to another company.
Industry internal: Fuels and processes used towards internal purposes that do not contribute towards the generation of electricity. ( i.e. steam for drying paper)
Industry external: Fuels and processes used towards the generation of electricity.

Sub-Types
Combined cycle: burns fuel in a gas turbine or engine to generate electricity. The exhaust from the turbine or engine can provide usable heat or go to a heat recovery system to generate steam which then may drive a secondary steam turbine.
Steam turbine: burns fuel to produce steam, which generates power through a steam turbine. Exhaust (left over steam) can be used as low-pressure steam to heat water.
Combustion engine diesel: rely solely on heat and pressure created by the engine in its compression process for ignition. The compression that occurs is usually twice or more higher than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines will take in air only, and shortly before peak compression, a small quantity of diesel fuel is sprayed into the cylinder via a fuel injector that allows the fuel to instantly ignite.
Natural gas combustion turbine: involves a natural gas fired turbine, which runs a generator to produce electricity. The exhaust gas flows through a heat recovery boiler, which can convert the exhaust energy into steam or usable heat.

Solid fuels used to generate electricity

Any energy form consumed not otherwise identified on the questionnaire. Specify in the spaces provided.

Bituminous coal: A dense, black coal, often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material with a moisture content usually less than 20%. Used primarily for generating electricity, making coke and space heating.
Sub-bituminous coal: A black coal used primarily for thermal generation, with moisture content between 15% and 30%. (Canadian/Foreign) - It is important to distinguish between Canadian versus imported sub-bituminous as each carries a different content, depending on the location of the coal mine.
Lignite: A brownish-black coal of low rank containing 30% to 40% moisture and volatile matter. Used almost exclusively for electric power generation.
Wood (Report for "Dry" method): Wood and wood energy used as fuel, including round wood (cord wood), lignin, wood scraps from furniture and window frame manufacturing, wood chips, bark, sawdust, forest residues, charcoal and pulp waste.
Petroleum coke: (often abbreviated petcoke) is a barbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes. Other coke has traditionally been derived from coal.
Agriculture biomass: includes animal manure, cellulosic crop residue, fruit and vegetable culls and food-processing effluent. Potential energy crops include high-yielding, high-carbohydrate crops such as switchgrass and vegetable-oil crops such as canola and sunflower, and hydrocarbon plants such as milkweed and gumweed.
Other biomass: (food processing) can include residues that are produced during the processing of a product, such as cheese whey, canning factory residues, fruit pits, apple pomice and coffee grounds.
Other biomass: (type unknown) any other type of biomass not otherwise identified on the questionnaire. Specify in the spaces provided.
Municipal and other waste: can include residues that are produced during the processing of a product, such as paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, natural textiles, wood, brush, grass clippings, kitchen wastes and sewage sludge.

Liquid fuels used to generate electricity

Any energy form consumed not otherwise identified on the questionnaire. Specify in the spaces provided.

Biodiesel: refers to a non-petroleum-based diesel fuel consisting of short chain alkyl (methyl or ethyl) esters, made by transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fat (tallow), which can be used (alone, or blended with conventional petrodiesel) in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles.
Ethanol: (ethanol fuel) the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It can be used as a fuel, mainly as a biofuel alternative to gasoline. It can be made from very common crops such as sugar cane and corn, it is an increasingly common alternative to gasoline in some parts of the world.
Other biofuel: any other type of biofuel not otherwise identified on the questionnaire. Specify in the spaces provided.
Light fuel oil (LFO): all distillate type fuels for power burners, fuel oil no.  1, fuel oil no.  2 (heating oil no.  2), fuel oil no.  3 (heating oil no.  3), furnace fuel oil, gas oils and light industrial fuel.
Heavy fuel oil (HFO): all grades of residual type fuels including low sulphur. Usually used for steam and electric power generation and diesel motors. Includes fuel oil nos.  4, 5 and 6. (Canadian/Foreign) - it is important to distinguish between Canadian versus imported Heavy Fuel Oil as each carries a different energy content, and is used to validate the integrity of Canada's Energy Balances.
Propane: is a three-carbon alkane, normally a gas, but compressible to a transportable liquid. It is derived from other petroleum products during oil or natural gas processing. It is commonly used as a fuel for engines, barbeques and home heating systems.
Diesel: all grades of distillate fuel used for diesel engines including low sulphur content (lower than 0.05%). Does not include diesel used for transportation off the plant site.
Spent pulping liquor: A by-product in the paper making process, containing carbohydrate and lignin decomposition products. Also known as black liquor.
Orimulsion: is a registered trademark name for a bitumen-based fuel that was developed for industrial use. Bitumen is a mixture of organic liquids that are highly viscous, black, sticky and entirely soluble in carbon disulfide and composed primarily of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Currently orimulsion is used as a commercial boiler fuel in power plants worldwide.

Gaseous fuels used to generate electricity

Any energy form consumed not otherwise identified on the questionnaire. Specify in the spaces provided.

Waste gasification: the process of waste gasification involves converting the organic material within the waste into synthetic natural gas (syngas), which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. The syngas is used to produce electricity in the same way that natural gas is combusted for energy production-in combined-cycle mode.
Gasification: uses high temperatures in the presence of oxygen to convert solid biomass into gas (known as producer gas) to fuel a turbine to generate electricity.
Natural gas: a mixture of hydrocarbons (principally methane) and small quantities of various hydrocarbons existing in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in underground reservoirs.
Coke oven gas: is obtained as a by-product of the manufacture of coke oven coke for the production of iron and steel.
Methane: is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH4. It is the simplest alkane, and the principal component of natural gas. Burning methane in the presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.
Refinery fuel gas: a gaseous mixture of methane, light hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and other miscellaneous species (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, etc) that is produced in the refining of crude oil and/or petrochemical processes and that is separated for use as a fuel in boilers and process heaters throughout the refinery.

Other fuels used to generate electricity

Nuclear: is any nuclear technology designed to extract usable energy from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions. The most common method today is through nuclear fission, though other methods include nuclear fusion and radioactive decay.
Steam from waste heat: The amount of electricity generated when waste heat is recaptured to run a steam generator.

Useful thermal energy

Useful thermal energy produced: The amount of energy, in the form of heat, that is produced as a by-product of the generation of electricity and that is used for another application in a productive manner ( e.g. the heating of industrial, commercial or residential space; steam used in an industrial process; etc. )
