| 3 | Services in this publication cover travel, transportation, commercial and government services. Services trade refers to cross-border flows as covered by the Balance of Payments, which measures the transactions between Canadian residents and non-residents. Transactions of a Canadian subsidiary located abroad when it either sells or buys a service in its local market, or trades a service with a third country are not included in trade in services. These transactions fall under the categories 'Foreign Affiliates Trade Statistics' (FATS) for which a separate analytical text is available in this publication. The FATS transactions are outside the scope of the cross-border figures reported in this section. Rather, such transactions abroad are between foreign resident parties. Also, the domestic sales and purchases by Canadian subsidiaries of foreign companies with residents here in Canada are excluded from cross-border measures of trade, being resident-to-resident transactions. |
