Purpose of this survey
The purpose of this survey is to collect reliable and up-to-date information on non-board grains and specialty crops in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. These data are used to calculate farm cash receipts which measure agriculture contribution to the Canadian economy. The data are also used by producer organizations, government departments and others for policy and decision-making. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Reporting Instructions
Please provide the information requested on non-board grains and specialty crops for the month specified.

  • tonnes purchased (dockage and shrinkage deducted)
  • gross receipts (only rail freight and elevation deducted)

In compiling average provincial prices to producers, your data will be aggregated with data received from other companies to protect the confidentiality.

Confidentiality
The Statistics Act protects the confidentiality of information collected by Statistics Canada.

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. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes.

Information on data-sharing agreements and record linkages can be found on the last page of this questionnaire.

Record linkages
To enhance the data from this survey, Statistics Canada may combine it 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 statistical and territorial 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 their data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

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