With regard to Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey statement that "[e]xcluded from the survey's coverage are persons living on reserves and other Indigenous settlements in the provinces": (a) why does the Labour Force Survey exclude such persons; (b) does Statistics Canada track or study the employment statistics on reserves and settlements by another method and, if so, what is the alternative method; and (c) what is Statistics Canada's projection or estimate of what the most recent national labour force data is, including the employment and unemployment rates, without this exclusion?
