Purpose of the Survey

To obtain information on the supply of and demand for energy in 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

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information from this survey which would identify a person, business, or organization, without their permission or without due legal authority. 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 data from Statistics Canada.

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 Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada, the National Energy Board, the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Saskatchewan Industry and Resources, Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board, Alberta Department of Energy and British Columbia Ministry of Employment and Investment.

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 Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board and Saskatchewan Industry and Resources. The information is collected in Alberta under the Statistics Act and on behalf of the Board under the authority of the Coal Conservation Act and Regulations or the Oil and Gas Conservation Act and Regulations. In Saskatchewan, the information is collected under the Statistics Act and on behalf of the Department pursuant to the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Conservation Act and Regulations, 1985 and the Saskatchewan Mineral Resources Act.
