Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of the field crop surveys is to obtain information on seeded and harvested field crop areas, average yields, production and on-farm stocks at strategic times over the course of a typical crop cycle, which ranges from spring to late fall. Therefore, the field crop surveys are conducted in June, November and December. Model-based estimates are used for March on-farm stocks. Seeding intentions, previously collected in March, are now collected in December.

Authority

This information is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Although voluntary, your participation is important so that the information collected is as accurate and complete as possible.

Purpose

The survey collects data on forage seed shipped during the year. Seed trade and professional associations use the data to better evaluate trends in forage seed usage and to conduct market share analysis.

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

Confidentiality

Your answers are confidential.

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.

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 statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

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 Prince Edward Island statistical agency, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as well as with the Manitoba Department of Agriculture.

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.

Record 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.

Security of emails and faxes

Statistics Canada advises you that there could be a risk of disclosure during facsimile or email. However upon receipt, Statistics Canada will provide the guaranteed level of protection afforded all information collected under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Note: Our online questionnaires are secure, there is no risk of data interception when responding to Statistics Canada online surveys.

Supplement to Statistics Canada’s Generic Privacy Impact Assessment related to 2023 National Cannabis Survey

Date: June 2023

Program manager: Director, Centre of Population Health Data
Director General, Health Statistics

Reference to Personal Information Bank (PIB):

Personal information collected and used in the National Cannabis Survey is described in Statistics Canada’s “Health Surveys” Personal Information Bank. The Personal Information Bank refers to personal information that is related to participants of health surveys conducted by Statistics Canada.

The “Health Surveys” Personal Information Bank (Bank number: StatCan PPU 806) is published on the Statistics Canada website under the latest Information about Programs and Information Holdings chapter.

Description of statistical activity

Statistics Canada is conducting the National Cannabis Survey (NCS), under the authority of the Statistics ActFootnote 1, on behalf of Health Canada. The National Cannabis Survey was conducted by Statistics Canada in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and was deemed covered under Statistics Canada’s Generic Privacy Impact Assessment. The survey aims to gather detailed information on Canadians' cannabis habits, including their purchasing and use behaviours to provide insights into the types of cannabis products Canadians use, how they access them, and associated impacts on the Canadian economy.

This voluntary household survey collects information from individuals aged 18 years or older living in Canada's ten provinces, who are not members of collective dwellings or living on reserves.

Topics collected in previous cycles of the NCS include cannabis use behaviours, use of different cannabis products, money spent on cannabis products, change in consumption habits due to legalization, symptoms of impaired control over cannabis use, and cannabis use while driving. The 2023 cycle will additionally collect information on cannabis purchasing behaviours from both the legal and illegal markets and growing cannabis at home.

Sociodemographic information such as age, gender, postal code, education, income, general heath, and mental health will continue to be collected, with the additional collection of indigenous identity, population group (racialized population), sexual orientation, and long-term conditions (disability).

A master microdata file will be produced and made available in Statistics Canada’s Research Data Centres (RDC)Footnote 2. A public use microdata fileFootnote 3 may also be produced, following standard disclosure control processes to mitigate against the risk of reidentification.

Reason for supplement:

While the Generic Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) addresses most of the privacy and security risks related to statistical activities conducted by Statistics Canada, this supplement was developed to address the sensitive nature of the new information being collected through the 2023 cycle. This includes information about participation in illegal activities and sociodemographic content including indigenous identity, population group, sexual orientation, and long-term conditions (disability). As is the case with all PIAs, Statistics Canada's privacy framework ensures that elements of privacy protection and privacy controls are documented and applied.

Necessity and Proportionality

The collection of personal information for the National Cannabis Survey (NCS) can be justified against Statistics Canada’s Necessity and Proportionality Framework:

  1. Necessity: Collecting data on cannabis use and purchasing patterns since 2018 has been essential to understanding the impact of cannabis legalization in Canada. Data collected are critical for monitoring changes in patterns of cannabis use, its effects on health and social outcomes, how Canadians access cannabis, and the effectiveness of harm reduction strategies such as education and prevention programs. Policy makers, health researchers and other Canadians will benefit from this information to inform evidence-based strategies, policies, and programs related to cannabis use in Canada. Failure to collect this data could lead to uninformed policies that could be harmful to Canadians. For example, without data on purchasing patterns, authorities may not be able to adequately regulate the legal market or ensure that consumers have access to safe and quality-controlled cannabis products.

    The inclusion of questions on sexual orientation, disability, racialized population, and Indigenous identity in the National Cannabis Survey (NCS) is important for a comprehensive understanding of cannabis-related behaviors and experiences within diverse population groups. Even before legalization, certain populations were identified as having higher cannabis use rates and being more at-risk of cannabis related harms and addiction. By collecting data on these sociodemographic variables, the NCS can help in designing targeted prevention and intervention programs that address the specific needs and challenges faced by these populations. For example, if the survey data reveals higher rates of cannabis use among certain communities or vulnerable groups, targeted information campaigns can be developed to raise awareness about the potential risks and provide resources for safer use practices. The data can also shed light on the effectiveness of harm reduction strategies, such as educational programs, in reducing cannabis-related harm. Policymakers can use these insights to refine existing policies or develop new ones that are better aligned with the needs and experiences of diverse populations.

    The inclusion of these sociodemographic variables align with the goals of program evaluation related to the Cannabis Act (C-45), including the Cannabis Act Legislative Review. Furthermore, the NCS aligns with the principles of equity, inclusivity, and accurate representation outlined in the Framework for the Legalization and Regulation of Cannabis in Canada. It aims to address the impacts on the health and cannabis consumption habits of Indigenous peoples, racialized communities, women, and other populations facing barriers to participation or at greater risk of harm. The sociodemographic information collected in the NCS align with the principles of surveillance and monitoring highlighted in the Framework for the Legalization and Regulation of Cannabis in Canada. It acknowledges the need for baseline indicators and population-level monitoring to measure the impact of changes resulting from cannabis legalization. By capturing information on these sociodemographic variables, the NCS contributes to best practices with ongoing surveillance and monitoring efforts, providing essential data to inform evidence-based decision-making, policy development, and retrospective evaluation of the Cannabis Act.

    The inclusion of these variables is necessary to enhance the survey's ability to capture a comprehensive picture of cannabis-related behaviours. By including these variables, the NCS aims to provide insights into potential disparities or variations in cannabis use and behaviors across various sociodemographic groups. This information is important for developing targeted interventions, policies, and programs that address specific needs and challenges faced by different populations. Although direct correlations between population sub-groups and cannabis behaviour may not be established, Statistics Canada will continue to approach the analysis of survey findings with caution and sensitivity, ensuring that analytical interpretations align with current research and avoid causing harm or perpetuating stereotypes.

    Including the variable on sexual orientation in the NCS is in line with the practices of established Statistics Canada surveys collecting data on cannabis use, such as the Canadian Community Health Survey, the Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey, and the Canadian Alcohol and Drugs Survey. Additionally, the Canadian Cannabis Survey conducted by Health Canada also includes this variable. By aligning with these existing surveys, the NCS ensures consistency in data collection practices and facilitates comparisons across different health and substance use surveys in Canada over time.

    To ensure a more comprehensive understanding of cannabis use and purchasing patterns in Canada, the NCS has expanded its sample size from 12,000 in previous iterations to 18,200 in the 2023 cycle. This increase in sample size is necessary to ensure the statistical qualityFootnote 4 of the survey, allowing for more robust analysis and disaggregation of data by subgroups of the population. By having a larger and more representative sample, the NCS can provide more precise estimates and insights into cannabis-related behaviors and their variations across different sociodemographic groups. This enhanced statistical quality will enable researchers, policymakers, and health professionals to better understand the nuances and complexities of cannabis use patterns and make informed decisions based on the findings, while also providing a sufficient number of responses to allow for the publication of aggregate results that effectively protect the personal information of respondents.

  2. Effectiveness - Working assumptions: To ensure the effectiveness of the personal information collected and used in the National Cannabis Survey (NCS), rigorous measures have been taken, both in the pre-2023 cycles and in the upcoming 2023 cycle. The questions pertaining to cannabis were sourced from established surveys such as Statistics Canada's Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and the Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey (CTNS). These questions have previously undergone qualitative testing, affirming their effectiveness in capturing relevant information on cannabis-related behaviors. By leveraging questions from well-established surveys, the NCS benefits from their proven track record in accurately capturing data. Using these questions also allows for comparison of the results of the NCS with those of the CCHS and CTNS surveys, enabling improved interpretation and analysis of the data and providing valuable insights into trends and patterns related to cannabis use and behaviors over time.

    In the 2023 cycle of the NCS, additional personal information variables have been included to better capture desired sub-populations in order to gain a deeper understanding of how cannabis-related behaviors may differ among different groups. These personal information variables have also been drawn from existing Statistics Canada surveys. These variables have likewise been carefully reviewed and undergone comprehensive testing and validation processes, ensuring their effectiveness as indicators of key population characteristics and behaviors.

    By employing established and rigorously tested questions and expanding the range of variables in the 2023 cycle, the NCS maintains a robust framework for collecting and utilizing personal information effectively. The inclusion of these new variables aligns with Statistics Canada’s best practices in survey research and enhances the effectiveness of the NCS in addressing the specific needs and experiences of diverse populations. These measures ensure that the NCS is well-equipped to provide reliable and valuable insights into cannabis-related behaviors and their impacts on various population groups.

  3. Proportionality: The National Cannabis Survey is an essential tool for monitoring changes in cannabis use patterns since the legalization of cannabis in Canada and understanding its impact on health, social outcomes, and the Canadian economy. In the 2023 cycle of the National Cannabis Survey (NCS), several adjustments will be made to accommodate the inclusion of new variables. As part of this process, certain questions from previous NCS cycles will be removed, proportional to what will be added. Specifically, questions related to the impact of legislation on the decision to try cannabis or modify consumption habits, impaired control in relation to cannabis use, and the use of cannabis while operating motor vehicles will no longer be included as the focus of the 2023 cycle is primarily on gathering data related to cannabis use and purchasing patterns, as well as socio-sociodemographic characteristics; the decision to remove these specific questions was made to streamline the survey and allocate more resources towards obtaining detailed information on these key areas.

    Two other questions will be removed – one regarding marital status and one inquiring about the respondent's main activity, such as employment or studying – to streamline the survey and ensure that the new variables introduced in 2023 could be effectively incorporated.

    The sample size of 18,200 people living in Canada's ten provinces has been assessed as the minimum required to meet Statistics Canada’s quality guidelines. This increase in the sample size is considered proportional to get publishable results on the new content, and to disaggregate results by different population subgroups. Careful consideration was made to ensure that each question would accurately respond to the research questions and help inform future decisions related to cannabis use policies.

    The adjustments made to the NCS 2023 cycle reflect the evolving nature of the survey and the ongoing commitment to collecting relevant and meaningful data. These modifications help to optimize the survey's focus and ensure the efficient use of respondents' time, while still providing valuable insights into cannabis use patterns and their associated factors. The findings are expected to support evidence-based strategies, policies, and programs related to cannabis use in Canada. As mentioned above, without this data policymakers would lack valuable information about cannabis use, which could lead to uninformed policies that could be harmful to Canadians. As such, the benefit to be derived from the National Cannabis Survey by Canadians can be considered proportional to its privacy intrusiveness.

  4. Alternatives: Consultations with internal and external partners were conducted on existing administrative data and other surveys on cannabis use behaviors among Canadians, such as the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and the Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey (CTNS). While other sources of data were considered, none would provide the combination of sociodemographic, health and cannabis-specific indicators required to fulfill the survey’s primary objective of obtaining detailed information about the habits of people who purchase and use cannabis.

Some questions contained in the National Cannabis Survey are considered sensitive as they relate to substance use and illegal purchasing of cannabis among various sociodemographic subgroups. The overall risk of harm to the survey respondents has been deemed manageable with existing Statistics Canada safeguards that are described in Statistics Canada’s Generic Privacy Impact Assessment, which include the following measures:

  • Transparency
    Prior to participating in the voluntary survey, respondents will be informed of the survey purpose and topics, allowing them to assess whether they wish to participate. This information will be provided via invitation and reminder letters and will be reiterated at the beginning of the questionnaire. Respondents will also be informed, in both invitation and reminder letters as well as in the questionnaire itself, that their participation is voluntary before being asked any questions. Confidentiality reminders have also been placed before questions that may be perceived as more sensitive. Information about the survey, as well as the survey questionnaire, will also be available on Statistics Canada's website.
  • Confidentiality
    To mitigate against the risk of re-identification, individual responses will be grouped with those of others when reporting results. Individual responses and results for very small groups will never be published or shared with government departments or agencies. Additionally, careful analysis of the data and consideration will be given prior to the release of aggregate data to ensure that marginalized and vulnerable communities are not disproportionally impacted.

Conclusion:

This assessment concludes that, with the existing Statistics Canada safeguards and additional mitigation factors listed above, any remaining risks are such that Statistics Canada is prepared to accept and manage the risk.

In November 2023, questions measuring the Labour Market Indicators were added to the Labour Force Survey as a supplement.

Questionnaire flow within the collection application is controlled dynamically based on responses provided throughout the survey. Therefore, some respondents will not receive all questions, and there is a small chance that some households will not receive any questions at all. This is based on their answers to certain LFS questions.

Analysis 101: How to read a table

Welcome to our video on how to read a data table.

If you want to learn how to read data tables quickly and efficiently, then you are in the right place.

Learning goals

(Text on screen: No prerequisite learning is required to fully understand this video.)

By the end of this video, you will have a better understanding of why data tables are important, how data tables are structured and how to interpret data quality indicators within a table.

This video is for learners beginning their own journey to increase their current level of data literacy. No prerequisite learning is required to fully understand this video.

Steps in the data journey

(Diagram of the Steps of the data journey: Step 1 - define, find, gather; Step 2 - explore, clean, describe; Step 3 - analyze, model; Step 4 - tell the story. The data journey is supported by a foundation of stewardship, metadata, standards and quality.)

This diagram is a visual representation of the data journey, from collecting the data; to exploring, cleaning, describing and understanding the data; to analyzing the data; and lastly to communicating with others the story the data tell.

Steps in the data journey

(Diagram of the Steps of the data journey with an emphasis on Step 3: Analyze and model.)

Knowing how to accurately interpret data from a table and transform it into useful information is part of the third step in the data journey, analyze and model.

What is a data table?

First, what is a data table? A data table is a structured arrangement of data in rows and columns. It's used to display a large amount of numerical information in an organized manner. It provides a clear and concise way to present and analyze data.

What are data tables used for?

Data tables are used to simplify complex data sets for easy understanding, to facilitate comparison and analysis of data points, to enable identification of trends, patterns, and outliers, and lastly to provide a foundation for creating charts, graphs, and visualizations.

How are data tables structured?

(Graph demonstrating the prevalence of disability for people aged 15 and over, by age group, Yukon, 2017.)

In the next few slides, we're going to look at the main parts of a table step by step, using a detailed example to illustrate the different components of a data table that help organize and display information. Such components include title, column headers, sources, notes, row stubs, cells, and data quality.

How to read a table

Did you know that Canadians with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty than those without disabilities? By addressing the longstanding inequities that lead to financial insecurity, hardships and social exclusion faced by persons with disabilities, in June of 2021, the Government of Canada committed to building a disability-inclusive Canada. Here we have an example of a data table that could play a small role in informing that decision. It shows the prevalence of disability for adults by age group in the Yukon in 2017.

Step 1: Look at the title

So how do you read this table? Step 1: look at the title. "Prevalence of disability for people aged 15 and over by age group, Yukon, 2017" tells us the proportion of the adult population, broken down by age group, in the Yukon, that experiences some form of disability at a given point in time.

Step 2: Identify the column headers

Here we have 4 columns titled "Age groups", "Total population", "Persons with disabilities" and "Prevalence of disability". The prevalence is expressed as a percentage and provides an indication of how common disabilities are within each specific age group. These headers tell us that the table shows data on the prevalence of disability, both in whole numbers and percentages, by age group, for the entire adult population of Yukon.

Step 3: Check the sources and notes

In our case, the source is "Statistics Canada, Canadian Survey on Disability 2017". This tells us that the data come from an official government source and therefore should be considered reliable. Checking the reliability of any data source is key to ensuring you are interpreting and analyzing trustworthy data. Do not trust a table that does not clearly show the source of the data.

Step 4: Identify the row stubs.

Here, the row stubs are the total number of survey participants aged 15 and over, and then subsequently, each row breaks that total down by age group. Note that the sum of the values for each category may differ from the total due to rounding. For example, in theory, if you add up the age group "15 to 64" and "75 and over" you should get the same number as the "Total - aged 15 and over", but as the note in the table reads, this is not always the case because the data are rounded for ease of use when the table is created.

Step 5: Examine the cells

To find the prevalence of disability for a specific age group, locate the row and column that you're interested in and find the cell where they intersect. For example, the prevalence of disability for those aged 45 to 64 is found in the cell where the "45 to 64" row and the "Prevalence of disability" column intersect, which shows a prevalence of 29.1%, which represents 3070 / 10,550, the number of persons with disabilities aged 45 to 64 divided by the total number of persons in that age group.

Step 6: Look for patterns or trends.

(In the graph, there is a superscript E beside a value.)

By examining the data, you might notice that as the groups progress in age, the prevalence of disability increases. You might also be wondering why some of the cells have the letter E next to their data...

Data quality indicators

The answer is: data quality indicators.

Statistics Canada uses several letters or symbols to indicate data quality or other important information about a data point or estimate in their data tables.

Some of the commonly used letters or symbols include:

"X": Indicates that the estimate has been suppressed to meet the requirements of the Statistics Act.

"E": indicates that the estimate has a high level of sampling variability and should be interpreted with caution.

"F": indicates that the estimate is too unreliable to be published.

These letters or symbols provide important information about the quality and reliability of the estimates in the data table, and help users to make informed decisions about how to interpret and use the data.

Recap of key points

In summary, in this video we went through three key components of understanding data tables, why a data table is important, how a data table is structured, and how to interpret data quality indicators.

Release date: October 25, 2023

This is an information notice.

This regrouping variant was approved as a recommended standard on October 10th, 2023.

The Variant of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 Version 1.0 with Aggregates for Analysis of Labour force is designed to provide a context-specific alternative to the standard classification structure. The variant regroups occupations by similar characteristics such as wages, tenure, hours worked, union status, management responsibilities.

The first level of the variant replaces the broad occupational categories by regrouping for labour force categories and a new level has been added above major groupings to aggregate selected major groups.

Canada's Core Public Infrastructure Survey 2022

Why are we conducting this survey?

Statistics Canada is undertaking this survey to provide useful statistical information on the stock, condition, performance and asset management strategies of Canada's core public infrastructure assets owned or leased by the various levels of government and Indigenous entities.

The information compiled by this survey will be used by analysts and policy-makers to better understand the current condition of Canada's core infrastructure. This will enable all levels of government to develop policies to support the efforts in improving Canada's core public infrastructure and help monitor and report progress on achievement of desired outcomes.

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

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.

Approved Disclosure

Section 17 of the federal Statistics Act allows for the disclosure of certain information relating to an individual, business or organization. Statistics Canada will only disclose information where there is a demonstrated statistical need and for the public good, and when it will not harm individuals, organizations or businesses if data were disclosed. For Canada's Core Public Infrastructure Survey, the Chief Statistician has authorized the release of data relating to individual government entities and public utilities. These include data on assets at the aggregate and individual level. Additionally, the names of provincial, regional and municipal government organizations will be released, as well as the variables used in sampling and estimation.

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
Statistics Canada
Attention Director of, Centre for Production, Distribution and Investment Statistics
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, as well as with Infrastructure 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.

Reporting period

For the purposes of this survey, report information for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022. If your 12-month fiscal period has not yet ended, provide your best estimate for the entire year.

Reporting instructions
