Information and communications technologies in Canada
Abstract
Information and communications technologies in Canada is designed to profile
the growth and development of the Canadian information and communications technologies
(ICT) sector. The publication provides a statistical overview of the ICT sector
on the basis of key economic variables, including production, employment, international
trade, revenue and research and development expenditures.
Statistics Canada's first quantification of the ICT sector appeared in the
compendium publication entitled Networked Canada: beyond the information highway,
catalogue no. 56-504-XIE. This publication updates these estimates with the
most recent data, while providing improved industrial coverage and in-depth
analysis of Canada's ICT sector.
Many different data sources have been used throughout the project, and while
all efforts have been made to maximize the amount of data available, it has
not been possible in all instances to consistently report for all ICT industries
and all relevant variables. The conversion to the new North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS) has largely contributed to these difficulties,
and it is expected that a greater range of data will be available once all of
the survey programs begin reporting on the basis of this new industry classification.
