Purpose of the Survey
To obtain information on the status of the energy industries of Canada. This information serves as an important indicator of Canadian economic performance, is used by all levels of government in establishing informed policies in the energy area and, in the case of public utilities, is used by governmental agencies to fulfil their regulatory responsibilities. The private sector likewise uses this information in the corporate decision-making process.
Confidentiality
Your answers are confidential
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. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Therefore, for example, the Canada Revenue Agency cannot access identifiable survey records from Statistics Canada.
Information from this survey will be used for statistical purposes only and will be published in aggregate form only.
An exception to the general rule of confidentiality under the Statistics Act is the disclosure, at the discretion of the Chief Statistician, of identifiable information relating to public utilities, which includes undertakings supplying petroleum or petroleum products by pipeline, and undertakings supplying, transmitting or distributing gas, electricity or steam. This applies to the dissemination of aggregate survey results at the provincial or territorial level where only one or two public utilities may have reported data or where one dominates the industry in a particular province or territory.
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 must 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 Ontario Ministry of Energy, the Saskatchewan Department of Energy and Resources, the Alberta Department of Energy, 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.
Note that there is no right of refusal with respect to sharing the data with the Saskatchewan Department of Energy and Resources. In addition to being collected under the Statistics Act, the information is collected pursuant to The Oil andGas Conservation Act and Regulations, 1985 (Saskatchewan) and The Mineral Resources Act (Saskatchewan) on behalf of Saskatchewan Department of Energy and Resources.
Record linkages
To enhance the data from this survey, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Loops are defined as pipe lines which occupy the same right-of-way as the main line, or right-of-way immediately adjacent to and parallel with the main line, and which depend upon the main line for a source of pressure, and through which the product carried has a common origin and destination.
Where there is more than one main line, please enter pipe line distance figures separately. Please note statistics compiled from this report are published in the publication “Natural Gas Transport and Distribution”, Catalogue 57-205.
