This product presents the Public Sector Universe, defined by Statistics Canada as a list of institutional units that are included in the economic measurement of governments in Canada. An institutional unit is defined as an economic entity that is capable, in its own right, of owning assets, incurring liabilities, and engaging in economic activities and in transactions with other entities. It includes the sectors of education, health, general government and government business enterprise sectors for all levels of government in Canada, annually, since 2008. The list has been disseminated in stages over the last few years. We now have one remaining sector to add (indigenous) which will take place in future releases.

Statistics Canada has done some calculations to determine the accessibility of regulated products— liquor and cannabis—to Canadian households in bricks-and-mortar outlets. Using the agency's geographic databases, the location of each Canadian household is identified, and the distance from that location to the nearest legal retail outlet is calculated. Averages of these distances are then calculated to determine how generally accessible these products are to Canadians. It must be noted this takes no account of online or illegal retailers.

An explanation of the structure and concepts of Canada’s new government financial statistics-based public sector accounts.

This article describes the major series and trends in the balance sheet and financial flows of the general government and government business enterprises for the period 2007 to 2012 according to the Canadian Government Finance Statistics (CGFS) framework.

This annual publication is a comprehensive, consistent and efficient source of government statistics. It contains data on the sources of revenue and the main purposes of spending of governments, of educational, and of health and social institutions, as well as complete balance sheets and debt statistics for all levels of government. The publication also contains revenue, expenditures and balance sheet statistics for government business enterprises and the public sector employment, wages and salaries statistics.

The changes made in this historical revision elaborate on the changes, over one hundred in all, made in the accounts. This paper updates an earlier report issued in August 1996 in several ways: decisions which did not involve any change in the accounts were pruned out; several new issues were added and many decisions were rewritten.

This paper explores the accounting relationship between the public debt and the foreign debt of the country as a whole. Public debt refers here to the debt of all three levels of government: federal, provincial and municipal.
