  • 5. Industrial research and development, 2000 to 2004 Archived
    Stats in brief: 88-001-X20040097861
    Description:

    The statistics in this bulletin are derived from the 2002 survey of industrial R&D activities in Canada, which covers firms spending a million dollars or more on the performance or funding of R&D in Canada, and from the administrative data of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) for firms which spend less than a million dollars on the performance or funding of R&D in Canada. The use of CCRA data results in a small understatement in total figures for the most recent years reported and this is explained in the note on Methodology on page 9. The 2002 survey conducted in 2003 collects data on actual R&D spending in 2002, on preliminary figures for 2003, and on spending intentions for 2004.

    The provincial government sector consists of all provincial government departments, ministries and agencies and provincial research organizations (PRO). The PRO are surveyed separately and are not reported here. The information in this document is intended primarily to be used by Scientific and technological policy makers, both federal and provincial, largely as a basis for inter-provincial and inter-sectoral comparisons. The surveys that generate these statistics also provide input for the development of a national aggregated R&D series. These national Research and Development estimates are used by businesses, governments and international organizations such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

  • 10. Research and development (R&D) expenditures of private non-profit (PNP) organizations, 2002 Archived
    Stats in brief: 88-001-X20040047867
    Description:

    This release provides data on the Research and Development activities of the private non-profit sector. The growing partnerships between Universities, Hospitals and Research Institutes has reduced the impact of the Private Non-Profit sector in the national Research and Development effort. Due to the decreasing magnitude of this sector, we will no longer feature the PNP data in our Service Bulletin series. Statistics Canada will continue to collect the data as it contributes to Gross Expenditures on Research and Development (GERD). Users are invited to contact us for special requests. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the private non-profit organizations for their continued cooperation.
