Notes to users

Data contained in the tables are as available on February 3, 2012.

Data contained in this publication (unless otherwise specified) are seasonally adjusted.

Some tables contain selected components and thus do not add to the totals. As well, most figures are rounded.

Data in this publication were retrieved from CANSIM† (Official Mark of Statistics Canada for its Canadian Socio-Economic Information Management System), and processed to create a photo-ready copy from which this publication was produced. CANSIM is the Statistics Canada computerized data bank; series published here (as well as other data) are available on computer printouts, tape, diskette or directly via terminal.

The identification numbers at the start of each row of data refer to the CANSIM Identifier for the unadjusted or seasonally adjusted monthly or quarterly data in the column.
