Human Resources committee  Perhaps I could try to provide some context around this. Statistics Canada doesn't have statistics for poverty. It has statistics for low income. We produce three different measures of low income, and they each have different perspectives on what it means to be in low income.

Human Resources committee  That's understandable. Many people do that. For urban and rural, we have different perspectives on the low-income measures. The measure we described to you today doesn't discriminate between urban and rural. It provides a single national threshold against which everyone is comp

Human Resources committee  Statistics Canada does not produce low-income rates for indigenous communities on reserve. All of our low-income rates are produced for the off-reserve population. We do produce statistics for the aboriginal persons off reserve.

Human Resources committee  I'll speak to that question. Of course, I can only answer it briefly. Statistics Canada seeks to provide information of the highest quality possible to Canadians. That includes modelling. We have modelling programs at Statistics Canada to which one may be referring in this quest

Status of Women committee  I'm not sure that we have that prepared. We do have surveys that would contain all of the information you would need to do that. We have recently looked at, for example, employment rates of persons with disabilities. We've been doing some other work, from my own division's persp

Status of Women committee  I'm not aware of anything.

Status of Women committee  On slide 5, there are two time series shown. I'd like to underscore that these are just two of the different ones that could be prepared. The top one was the one I referred to, which was the 88¢ on the dollar. That compares hourly wages for full-time workers. The lower one is ma

Status of Women committee  I can't really think of a way to answer that question because it pertains to data gaps and I wasn't really prepared to speak to data gaps.

Status of Women committee  If you have another question at the same time, go ahead. I don't want to use up your seven minutes.

Status of Women committee  We do differentiate what we would call an “unattached woman” from a lone parent. Some of those statistics are available on slide 21, which shows men and women of different family types and ages. It's a select view of the different statistics that we have. For example, about five

Status of Women committee  Certainly. I'll bring that back to Statistics Canada.

Status of Women committee  It was 92¢.

Status of Women committee  In the adjusted number that I referred you to, the 92¢, work experience is included and it's an aggregated work experience. So it compares women and men with similar ages, similar levels of work experience, working in similar occupations and similar industries.

Status of Women committee  I believe we do. I didn't bring anything specific to trades and enrolment. Do you mind if look back in my deck for a second?

Status of Women committee  Yes, we do. In the appendix slides to the deck, on slide 13, for example, there's a picture that shows completion rates of apprenticeship trades for women and men. This is using data from the labour force survey. Again, this shows that apprenticeship trades, at least in the recen
