1. To ensure the confidentiality of responses collected for the census, a random rounding process is used to alter the values reported in individual cells. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values, since the total and subtotals are independently and randomly rounded. However, apart from discrepancies due to simple rounding, the percentages are calculated to add up to 100%, as recommended by the census methodology group.
2. Total Aboriginal identity includes the Aboriginal groups (First Nations people, Métis and Inuit), multiple Aboriginal responses and Aboriginal responses not included elsewhere. "First Nations people" reflects those who self-identified as "North American Indian" on the census.
3. Both parents working part time; one working part time, the other neither working for pay nor self-employed; both parents neither working for pay nor self-employed.
Notes: Data have been randomly rounded. Independently rounded numbers for the sub-categories (full time, part time, not working for lone-parent families) in Prince Edward Island are 10, 0, 0, respectively; however, percentages were calculated to add up to 100%, as recommended by the census methodology group.
