Canada's Ocean Industries: Contribution to the Economy 1988-2000

Appendix A

Concordance of the 1980 SIC to NAICS Canada
(lowest level of detail)

The industry segments (e.g. fishing, transportation, ship building) that make up the Ocean Industry Sector were defined in Table 2 of RASCL, 1998. The 1980 Canadian SIC for these segments has been used throughout both the 1998 and the 2001 RASCL reports on the economic contribution of the ocean industries to Canada 's economy. The Concordance Table below relates the 1980 Canadian SIC's to the recently introduced North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. The table has been taken from the Statistics Canada Internet site (February, 2001):

(http://www.statcan.ca/english/Subjects/Standard/concordances/naics97-to-sice80-det.htm)

Only part of NAICS codes marked with an * relate to the original SIC. In general, the explanatory notes indicate the relevant area of "overlap" within the new code. However, a detailed comparison of the definitions of the two codes (see the above web site) is the only way being sure that a given operation is being correctly classified. Such a task was well beyond the scope of the February 2001 contract, the objective of which was to extend the time 1988 to 1996 series developed in the 1998 RASCL report to include the latest available data from Statistics Canada and other sources.
