Human Resources committee  Vincent, would you like to start addressing the question?

Human Resources committee  Thank you for your question, Ms. Chabot. Anything having to do with EI eligibility falls within Employment and Social Development Canada's purview, not Statistic Canada's, so I can't answer that.

Human Resources committee  The LFS has a sample size of 54,000 households. We interview those people every month either by telephone or in person. The sample is representative of Canada's population, including on a regional basis. The biggest challenge we currently face has to do with survey response rates

Human Resources committee  Mr. Chair, I can answer that question. Canada and the U.S. both adhere to the United Nations International Labour Organization's guidance on defining and measuring labour market activity. The guidance does, however, include some flexibility so that each country can interpret an

Human Resources committee  I'll just finish, if I may. Every month when we release our information, if the information from the United States has already been released, we do this adjustment to our own data to allow for the comparison with the United States.

Human Resources committee  The answer to your question is really based on the fact that there are adjustments that need to be made in order to make sure that the concept.... We can think of the population that we're measuring in terms of the age groups that we're trying to measure, as well as the reference

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. It is clear that not all Canadians face the same challenges, which differ depending on whether they belong to a diversity group. The pandemic really shone a spotlight on those differences. Even though Statistics Canada has long been working to build a

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, members of the committee. Thank you for inviting Statistics Canada to speak today as part of the study on employment insurance. Statistics Canada has many data sources, such as the Labour Force Survey, or LFS, and employment insurance, or EI, st

Status of Women committee  There's more than one way to decide on research priorities. The Canadian government's priorities clearly dictate Statistics Canada's work, but we also have partnerships in the federal government and provincial governments, as well as outside government.

Status of Women committee  Factors related to unpaid work were measured in the 1996, 2001 and 2006 censuses. These were based on three questions, about household tasks, gardening work and house maintenance. Following each census, we conduct exhaustive consultations to ensure that questions are included th

Status of Women committee  We don't have information that would allow us to estimate the total value of foregone income. The labour force survey provides information about women's work and their place in the labour market. The survey also obtains information about the absence of women in the labour market.

Status of Women committee  I'll answer the question briefly. Geography is an important component of our survey…
