Statistics Canada has a Centre for Education Statistics. As you know, education falls under provincial jurisdiction. The role of Statistics Canada is to work with the provinces and territories to collect and provide harmonized Canada-wide data on education. This is a successful partnership that is working very well.
There is a survey on elementary and secondary education that collects information on enrolments in schools. This survey is conducted annually. Each province and territory provides this data, and we then compile and harmonize the concepts using this survey. I believe this is a significant source of information to determine the number of rights-holders. We could work with the provinces and territories to have them add this information to their administrative system. In this way, we could have information about school boards. I consider this an extremely attractive approach.
At Statistics Canada, we are working extremely hard in terms of the administrative data. In fact, this is one of our priorities. This allows us to obtain much more accurate data with a very detailed breakdown by geographic location, but also to harmonize the data and reduce the response burden for Canadians. We have a lot of success using administrative data. This allows us to link this data to data from other sources in order to enrich the study of a given phenomenon.
