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 is the current main activity
• This is not the current main activity

Provide a brief but precise description of this business or organization's main activity:

Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Quarterly - Statement 10 (I, II)

1. Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Scheduled services - operating statistics

Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

Sector of operation

Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

Domestic

Includes operations between points in Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US)

Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

Other international

Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

Fixed wing

Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

Helicopter

Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

Scheduled services

Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers¹ who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

¹ Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

• Flight stage A to B
• Number of passengers = 5
• Distance between points ( km ) = 161
• Passenger-kilometres = 805

• Flight stage B to C
• Number of passengers = 4
• Distance between points ( km ) = 322
• Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered. Seats not actually available for the carriage of passengers should be excluded.

Hours flown

Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

Enplaned goods

Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

Conversion factor

To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

Goods tonne-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

• Flight stage A to B
• Tonnes of goods = 5
• Distance between points ( km ) = 161
• Goods tonne-kilometres = 805

• Flight stage B to C
• Tonnes of goods = 4
• Distance between points ( km ) = 322
• Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

Conversion factor

To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.852.

To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres ( km ), multiply by 1.609344.

Available tonne-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the usable weight capacity of the aircraft. This represents the load carrying capacity offered for passengers and/or goods.

Please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation during this reporting period.

Introduction

Purpose

The objective of the survey is to collect information on the Ontario First Nations point-of-sale exemption. These data are part of the information used by the Ontario Ministry of Finance and Finance Canada to determine the allocation of the Ontario HST revenue between the provincial and federal governments.

Additional information

Why we conduct this survey

The information you provide will be used by the Ontario Ministry of Finance and Finance Canada to ensure that the harmonized sales tax (HST) is allocated correctly between the provincial and federal governments. By participating in this survey, you will be helping Ontario receive its accurate share of the HST.

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.

Authority

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. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory. For this survey, there is a Section 11 agreement with the provincial statistical agency of Ontario.

Coverage

For this questionnaire: Please report for Ontario locations only.

Reporting period: Report for calendar year 2022.

Reporting instructions

• Please complete the questionnaire and submit it within 15 days.
• Report all dollar amounts in Canadian dollars.

• 3: No

Exemptions - Question identifier: 3
From January 1st to December 31st, 2022, what was the total value of all Ontario First Nations point-of-sale exemptions that were provided by this business?

Ontario First Nations point-of-sale exemption (OFNPSE) is a rebate or exemption equal to the 8% provincial portion of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) provided to status card holders at the time of purchase. In Ontario, the HST is comprised of 8% Provincial Value Added Tax plus 5% Goods and Service Tax for a total of 13%.

• Report the value of the exemption and not the value of the sales to which the exemption applies.
• Only GST must have been applied to all goods and services exempted.
• Enter "0" if this business offered the exemption but was not asked to provide it in 2022.
• Report all dollar amounts in Canadian dollars.
• When precise figures are not available, please provide your best estimate.

Exclude

• Internet sales;
• Sales of goods and services delivered to a reserve;
• Sales of goods and services where full HST was exempted;
• Sales made on a reserve;
• Sales by a remote store.

Example:

• In the case of a $100.00 sale made to a status card holder, where that sale is eligible for the OFNPSE, only GST would be applied. The 8% Provincial Value Added Tax would be exempted.
• The exemption would be calculated as $100.00 x 8% (or 0.08) = $8.00.
